About Misty Mountain Farm
Misty Mountain Farm is a chestnut orchard at 4342 Braidwood Road, Sassafras, in the ranges west of Nowra on the road towards Braidwood. Visitors come in autumn to pick chestnuts themselves from the orchard floor as the nuts fall.
The harvest season is short. The farm describes it as running from late March to mid April, and it opens only while the nuts are falling, so there are no fixed daily hours. The 2026 season has finished, and dates for 2027 are posted on the farm's website once the chestnuts are ready. The farm states that entry to the orchard is free.
Enquiries go through the contact form on the farm's website, as no phone number is published there. Because opening depends on how the crop is dropping that year, it is worth checking the site before making the trip from Sydney, which is roughly two hours from the southern suburbs.
Another chestnut and walnut farm, Sassafras Nuts, operates on the same road a short distance away, so be sure to enter the correct address into your GPS.
