GA-TACF’s 2nd Annual Chestnutoberfest!

Chestnutoberfest 2025

It’s that time of year again! Chestnut harvest is just wrapping up in Georgia and our next fun event is Chestnutoberfest on October 25 at River Remedy Brewing, Rome. 1-7 pm (note the brewery’s new location). Hope you can join us to have some fun and learn about what we do and how you can get involved! We will have “Chestnutoberfest” chestnut ale, food, music by Russell Cook and Friends (of Little Country Giants), chestnut merchandise, and roasted chestnuts. Rumor has it that some chestnut seedlings may be among the “merch” being offered…

So, get crackin’ and come on out! Sign up via Eventbrite https://www.eventbrite.com/e/ga-tacfs-2nd-annual-chestnutoberfest-tickets-1763298335789?aff=oddtdtcreator

Stop by to learn how our breeding program produces nice, nearly pure American chestnut trees like this one - at the Summer Shade Festival in Grant Park this weekend! Great food, arts, crafts, and music fest 10 am - 6 pm Saturday and Sunday.

Weather should be more moderate this weekend, so it should be a great time to get out of the AC and into the shade!

Also, please look forward to announcements about volunteer opportunities for this fall's harvest. The time frame is early September through early October and we will need help harvesting, shucking, and prepping seeds for cold storage. Both indoor and outdoor tasks.

Imagine restoring this view up through the canopy throughout the native range of American chestnut. If you share that vision, please join us in our efforts! See www.tacf.org/ga
