Chestnut Brae Sweet Chestnut Farm A 100 year old farm with chestnut trees, chetnut fed pigs, beautiful country gardens and an idyllic farm stay. Unique chestnut experience and products.

Chestnuts – One thousand certified organic, biodynamically planted, chestnut trees provide us with the sweetest chestnuts you will taste. During the chestnut season (April to early June), we invite you to come and Pick Your Own (PYO) Sweet Chestnuts. From the chestnuts we produce a wide range of unique and award winning chestnut products. Check them out on our website. Pigs – Pasture-raised and ch

estnut-fed, our Heritage pigs produce the best pork you will ever taste. Farm - Chestnut Brae Farm is 70 idyllic acres of mature organic sweet chestnut forests that were planted biodynamically in 1985. Adding to the charm are heirloom vegetables and heritage animals that are all farmed sustainably using regenerative agriculture and holistic management. Farmstay - Our Farmstay ‘Chestnut Cottage’ is a peaceful rural retreat set in the Blackwood River Valley and is the perfect destination for a relaxing getaway, family holiday, or somewhere to retreat to for writing a book or your next music album - see our sister page or website to view the beautiful fully self-contained three-bedroom cottage for your next getaway. Location – In the heart of the Southwest - just 10 minutes’ drive south of Nannup and 55 minutes inland from Margaret River - the small town of Carlotta is located in the Blackwood River Valley Region of Western Australia’s South West, here you will find Chestnut Brae nestled between pristine jarrah forest and rolling hills of farmland. Lamb – Wiltshire sheep are our lawn mowers and provide us with delectable organic lamb that has been fed on chestnuts and chestnut peelings – delicious. Daffodils - When our Chestnut trees lose their leaves in winter, the daffodils burst to life in an impressive display as natural drifts of colour underneath the deciduous trees.

Winter Wonderland at Chestnut Brae is pure magic this time of year.

The autumn leaves have fallen, revealing an orchard of beautifully bare, skeleton-like trees, an art form in their own right. It’s a peaceful, striking landscape you won’t forget.

Stay awhile at the farmstay, light the log fire, and settle into the cosy charm of a true winter escape 🔥

The South West really is a wonderland right now and it only keeps getting better!

Harvest is in full swing, and we’re about a tonne ahead of where we were this time last year.

As always, the weather keeps things interesting. The cooler summer helped, but early rain during harvest meant we had to do more handpicking, as we couldn’t get the harvester into the orchard.

The cool room is now full, and the focus has shifted to peeling nuts to free up space. If you’re after chestnuts in the shell, we’ve got plenty available.

We’ve also had some damage from strong winds. An old pine tree in the orchard came down, unfortunately right on top of our yellow harvester. Out of 70 acres, that’s where it landed.

Getting it cleared was a bit of a job.

Big news for us at Chestnut Brae!

Worldpackers has nominated us as finalists for Best Volunteer Experience for Backpackers in their global awards and we’re absolutely stoked.

Since taking over the farm, we’ve welcomed more than 150 volunteers from around the world, and it’s been an incredible journey sharing this place and learning together.

This is a brand new initiative by Worldpackers, and we’re looking forward to seeing how it all unfolds when the final results are announced in a few months.

A huge thanks to everyone who’s been part of the Chestnut Brae story so far!
