Plant The Trees

200+ Acres of Productive Chestnuts! Managing a Multigenerational Farm in Ohio, with Julie Richards

Harry Greene

Julie Richards stewards the operations of Ohio Chestnuts and Wintergreen Tree Farm. 200+ acres of chestnuts produce great food for real people, while improving water quality in the streams and creeks that flow into Lake Erie.

Julie grew up with chestnuts, and came back to the family farm not just because chestnuts are really satisfying crop to work with, and not just because she had the opportunity, but because it was a really good financial and logistical decision for her and her family.

Here we’ll dive into not just chestnut genetics, but chestnut markets and how to sell the crop.
