Chestnuts...A family affair
The Baker family has always been a bag of mixed nuts but in 2014 Lenore and David Baker decided to claim the chestnut for their family property in Southern Indiana. They had decided that it was the best way to be good stewards of the land and a means to move their family into the future.
Chestnuts had kept the communities alive during times of famine on the Old World. The nut is high in protein, has vitamin C, is gluten-free, low in fat, and contains complex minerals. The chestnut can be dried into flour for making bread or pasta and can be added to soups or eaten whole. The American chestnut tree nearly died out from a foreign fungus, but Chestnut Hill Tree Farm, where Lenore purchased her trees, has crossbred it with the Chinese chestnut tree, giving the American chestnut a vaccination of resistance.
Even though the trees have been planted and producing these last few years the Baker Family is just getting started. We look forward to serving the community with our unique style of farming and providing the best and most healthy food. Right now its just chestnuts but in time I’m sure we will see a myriad of fresh fruits, gourds, and nuts.
Thank you for taking the time to get to know us a little and if we can help you in anyway don’t be afraid to reach out and ask questions.
