The EXCITEMENT OF CHRISTMAS!!! Nothing brings it home better than the little children!
Oh My! Our elves are into the Christmas punch again!
And as the chocolate peanuts travel down the belt, they cool down to the point where they can be collected and put into Bertie County Chocolate Peanut jars! Mighty fine!
Ever wonder how we make our chocolate peanuts? I think this is what folks call "small batch". At any rate, these Bertie County Chocolate Peanuts are mighty tasty!
All the from England by way of Edenton just for some Bertie County Peanuts!
Warehouse filling up! Normally holds about 18,000 bags. And that opens up a lot of questions! Back in the day peanuts were figured "by the 100 lb. bag". So how many tons are there in the warehouse right now and how many more can we get in there?
Ok, Trailer has been weighed and parked under sampler. The operator slowly lowers the tube into the trailer all the way to the bottom. The tube has a rotating head that allows the tube to slowly go down into the peanuts without cracking any or causing any damage to the sample. A suction on the tube allows the peanuts to be sucked up into a holding tank, The operator pulls about 5 samples out of a trailer using a standard pattern of where in the trailer the samples should be pulled. Once finished the sample is carried into the grading room where the peanuts are graded for quality. MORE TO COME!
Got them on the dryers! Using a little heat to remove moisture from air being blown in the bottom of trailers . Should be down to about 10% in a day or so!
Farmers finished their 40 hour week last Wednesday!
