Kookootonga is open 9-4 EVERY day (including ALL Easter). Once the season commences we will let you know exactly what is happening in the orchard on this site.

 

Visitors this season will be glad to know  that our prices remain the same as the last few years:  Chestnuts $10 per kg and Walnuts $12 per kg pick your own.

 

Every year varies but often the large chestnuts are available by mid March through to early April, and quality chestnuts still there to be gathered through April. 

 

The walnuts are ready later, usually late March and into April. 

 

Weekends and Easter are our busiest periods, often those who arrive after 2pm on Sundays (and especially on Easter Monday) find that the best of the nuts which have fallen over the weekend have been gathered.

 

Allow at least over an hour for your visit, arriving after 3pm is not advised. 

 

Visitors who arrive during the week find that the farm is very peaceful.

 

Logon to ChestnutsAustralia  for information on storage, preparation and recipes
