Brian, those are larvae of the chestnut weevil. I am very fortunate to not have this pest like other parts of the country, Europe, Asia, etc.

Jordon, I am not at all familiar with "azomite chestnuts" and know quite a bit about chestnuts. I searched on Google but didn't come up with anything. I'd appreciate more details. The largest chestnuts I harvest might weight close to 2 ounces, but I prefer ones that are about 20-25/pound.

Kylie, I have a pretty good customer in Baton Rouge and many customers in Florida. I have customers in just about every state, if not all. I think they're any "everywhere thing". They are definitely more popular with certain ethnic groups or if folks had family that were raised in the east. The USPS flat rate box has worked out fantastic for our business since so many customers are back east (10 pounds in a box would cost about $26 instead of $9 if it were not for this program).

For my own history, I had chestnuts one time about 35 years ago and then didn't have them until about 9 years ago when I decided to start growing them. Most of my customers eat a lot more chestnuts than I do! With the quantity some folks order I wonder if they do anything besides eat chestnuts, honestly.
