Thanks, Jarred, for the nice post.

Thank you also for letting me have the opportunity to be a sponsor, even if it's just for a short while this year. Hopefully, I can do more in the future.

Chestnuts are a lot of work but also a lot of fun as I get to hear all kinds of stories from customers. There should be another article coming out next month, btw, as a reporter from the LA Times is flying up tomorrow to visit my farm as well as the farms of a couple of other growers in northern California. I just hope I don't say something stupid; I don't like the quote I got in the LA Times a few years back! LOL

From my experience with the paper, those people pretty much make up whatever they want to anyway. The last writeup we had was all kinds of "quotes" that I never said. Some were pretty stupid sounding.
Ya know what they say though, "any publicity is good publicity!"
Congrats,
Sandy

My biggest "problem" with some of the publicity I've received is that the articles have usually come out close to Christmas, long after I've sold out for the year. I'll likely sell out before Thanksgiving this year. I sold and shipped out 20% of my crop is just the past week, but the initial rush will slack off a bit now.

Here is one short (maybe 60 seconds) but fun radio report from last year on WBAL in Balitimore by the same guy that did an article in Eating Well magazine. http://www.chestnuts.us/BruceWeinste...teCookWBAL.MP3
