This good-looking young couple were driving from Raleigh to Edenton and made a planned stop at Bertie County Peanuts!
This good-looking family is in the seafood business in Sneed's Ferry! Left home this morning, made a planned stop at Bertie County Peanuts, going to spend tonight in Chincoteague and attend a Phillies baseball game in Philadelphia this weekend.
These folks came from California and New York just for some Bertie County Peanuts! Truth be told, they are of the Askew family and are here checking out their roots. Seems the tap root is around the Snakebite area.
Wow! What a crowd! These young people came from Soapstone United Methodist in Raleigh to help Carolina Rebuilding Ministry. They have been using 2 x6 boards to build a raised floor for new bathrooms at their location here in Windsor. Big Bathroom! Really nice group of folks; lots of fun! This Ministry is going wide open here in Windsor! Want to know how you and your group can get involved? Go to crmhome.org and take a look!
MAN! Thatās tough! Turkey sausage considered a red meat?
Recent research suggests that consuming processed red meat is linked to a 14% increase in dementia risk. Replacing processed red meat with beans and nuts may help offset this risk increase, however.
My niece and her daughters traveled to Tulsa OK to watch Ella at the NSBA world show. Got to their accommodations, open the fridge, and look what they saw! Fingers crossed for Ella! Ranked high nationally in western pleasure so she qualified for the National Snaffle Bit Association's World Show. And she shows this afternoon at 4 CT.
This guy stops by at closing for some "hot" peanuts. Catholic Priest by the name of Father Timothy Cremeens. Lived here around 2015 on the Jamestown Road. Taught school here in Bertie and ministered to a "flock" in Edenton (I think). On the way to Grimesland. Anybody got a story?
Ok; now this guy was a Bertie High School coach when Chip Williams was here. Lived right across from the warehouse near Irene Davis. Left here for Farmville and now works with ECU. Got a name? At one time had a principal here of the same name!
Talking about a thorn among roses........ These guys are with NC WORKS, a state organization that helps support small businesses. Like Us!
Ok; it's been about a week since pulling some peanuts. Same patch with about 4inches of rain on it. Have matured a little, but not much. Can you see the smaller peanuts, the ones that are maybe 1/2 inch long? Named maybe swads? These peanuts just came on the plant in the last week and will cause farmers to make a hair-pulling decision about when to dig. Do you wait for those little ones to mature and if you do wait will the big, pretty peanuts shed off? That sort of decision will keep you up at night! And when to dig is one of the most important decisions that farmer will make all year and nearly the last decision he will make on this crop!
This good-looking family came all the way from New Hampshire by way of California just for some Bertie County Peanuts. (The kids were more impressed with the popsicles than the peanuts. That's what California will do for you!)

The older Hyman gentleman left Bertie for New Jersey about 1972. But he stops occasionally for peanuts when he is the area . Nice guys ! Anybody got a first name?
Whew! Think we have dodged Debby! We were still 8.6 inches behind 10 year average thru July and pretty happy where we were. Clearing skies and we have only had 3,30 inches since the first of August. Heard you guys south and west of us got a lot more!
How much rain have you had since the first of August?
great colors!

You think it's deep outside? You should see how deep it gets in here!
Man! it's raining cats and dogs. I know cause i just stepped in a poodle! Story time! Back in the 1980s my dad, Pappa Jack, would take redskin peanuts left over from peanut grading, and fry them in this popcorn popper. Drain them on an old News & Observer, put enough Morton's salt on them to turn them white! Local farmers and folks stopping in would sample them, smack their lips, and opine that we should sell them! Took as pretty good while to do that but when we introduced his original recipe a couple of years ago, they were an immediate hit. And folks still smack their lips! (it's the salt; we double up on it) Don't tell your doctor!
All the way from Salt Lake City, by way of Belvidere just for some Bertie County Peanuts! Came in with Debbie sprinkling a little rain, but not much so far.....
Saw Bertie County Peanuts!
These ladies drove all the way from Climax, NC(outside of Asheboro) to carry their student to Mid Atlantic Christian University in Elizabeth City. Saw our sign and make a detour to Bertie County Peanuts! I declare, the lady on the left reminds me of someone on an old tv show............./
These folks drove over from Hertford County to stock up on Bertie County Peanuts before Debbie gets here! She grew up in Rosemead; anybody got a name?
This guy was driving home to Elizabeth City from Myrtle Beach and made a planned stop at Bertie County Peanuts! Really got a liking for the Chocolate Weeping Mary Ghost Pepper peanuts. And him being a preacher by the name of Jim Jones, we were a little worried he might be checking them out for the next cool aid fix.
Just for you folks that hurt when it rains! And it's raining!

Another wave of Peanut Trivia rolling in! š š„

a) Canada
b) Japan
c) Mexico
Leave your guess in the comments and check our stories tomorrow for the answer!
These good-looking young folks are originally from New Bern and New York City. So, naturally, they made a planned stop at Bertie County Peanuts on their way home to New York City!
These folks drove from New York city to Birmingham AL and then made a detour on the way home for some Bertie County Peanuts!. Local guy on the right was in their wedding party in the Barbados a some years ago!
It is with really, really heavy hearts that we have to inform you that our Alice Tayloe passed last weekend. She has been a member of the Powell & Stokes family since about 1988 and has been an integral part of our Bertie County Peanuts. She was here at the beginning and without her we would have never had the success we have enjoyed. Always a smile, pleasant, a good word for everyone. She will be GREATLY missed! PS She never wanted her picture taken and this was the only one we have!
Looks pretty easy....famous last words!

We've had a little over 10 inches of rain in July and peanuts have really taken off. Pulled a few do see what was there and while pretty impressive they will not be ready for boiling till about the end of August. If you're dying for peanuts don't forget our hot weather sale going on till Sunday! Everything off 20%; just enter the code Summer 2024 at check out! Everybody KEEP COOL! and keep on keeping on!
Hot, hot, hot! Half the jar is gone while hoping for a breeze! Check on these clouds; what kind are they? Rain went south of us here in Kill Devil Hills.
Thank the LORD!
Getting some of those Bertie County peanuts in the ground. Our rainfall had caught up with last year's by the end of March, but April mighty dry. Got just .60 compared to 4.55 inches for a ten year average. So, depending on the weather, 150 days from now these peanuts should be ready to dig. Somewhere around the end of September. When do you think the green peanuts will ready for boiling? Maybe around the end of August?
Spreading dolomitic lime on peanut land. Dolomitic lime contains magnesium which our sanding peanut soils need. Calcitic lime is cheaper but does not contain magnesuim so we shy away from that. Check the gps screen showing where we are actually spreading. NEAT!
It has been pretty dry this January and we are taking advantage and spreading a lot of lime on peanut fields. Chris is up in Indianwoods loading and spreading these loads.
Cotton picking time is way different than it was just 10 years ago. Cotton picker puts raw cotton into round, plastic bales that weigh about 6,000 pounds each. Picker never stops ! Bales are automatically ejected and then picked up, placed on trucks and carried to the gin! From a distance, looks like huge Easter Eggs!
Ok this is it this year for green peanuts. Bagging them in 1/2 bushel bags or 16 quarts, and 1/2 peck bags, or 4 quarts.
This pretty young lady drove all the way from Washington state for some Bertie County Peanuts! And when she heard about our new peanut flavor, BOY!, was she excited!
This is not going as planned but we got it done! Green peanuts available now at warehouse!
Our cook house crew is excited about the new flavors you suggested even though you were WAY off.(Pretty good ideas though and we might use some of those). Look at the picture, listen to the music, become a parrot head, get in the mood, and guess again what our new flavor will be.
Wonder where this is? Hot, but an ocean breeze! Water clear and not too cold. King Mackerel and Blues are NOT running! Think Iāll open the jar of Sea Salt and Black Pepper! Jealous yet? š
Better video and bigger field. Cedar Landing farm in Woodard.
Weāre spreading land plaster or gypsum on some Bertie County Peanuts. On large kernel peanuts like ours, the pins coming down from blooms have to have gypsum when they touch the ground or you will have āpopsā or lots of hills but really small kernels.
You older folks out there remember James Outlaw, the āpeanut manā? Over 40 years ago he sold parched peanuts in little brown paper bags that he cooked himself. Had a peach basket that he carried on his arm with 25 cent or 50cent bags. Walked all over Windsor and went to all the ball games! A really nice man and a legend in this area! Well, this is his son and the mirror image of his Dad. When I started the video didnāt think too far ahead and were blown away by his speaking his Dadās sales pitch! Roasted, toasted everybody eat em but nobody cook em like the peanut man! I apologize ahead of time by the quality of the audio and the general laughing and remarks we made when we heard him. It was fantasticāļæ¼
This is the way to load seed peanuts without the lifting of the bags and gentler and quicker. Thanks to Ward farms!
July 11 peanuts.
Rain has the Sunflowers blooming!
