We set those aside, call them \"Big Mama's\" and make them available, in limited quantity, while they last. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThese are graded and shipped the same way as the rest of our crop: harvested on our Sacramento family farm and grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. The only difference is their size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBecause Reserve quantities are small and tied to what nature gives us each season, this listing may sell out well before our standard chestnuts do.
