On Thanksgiving my Aunt Elsie was reminiscing about the olden days and how my Poppy Sol would roast chestnuts for the employees in the back of the nut shop. We haven’t had chestnuts in a while, but it’s never too late to bring back a tradition. And just in time for the holidays. Fresh chestnuts and dried chestnuts are now available! I am so excited!!!

We’ve been selling Cluster Raisins forever…or as long as my uncle can remember (since he was a little boy, and that was a long time ago!!!). We just got in a freshly harvested supply and they are out of this world. I love raisins, and we certainly sell tons and tons of some of the best raisins out there, but these Jumbo Cluster Raisins certainly take the cake. They are jumbo thompson seedless grapes that are left on the vine to attain the optimum flavor and sweetness. The grapes are hand harvested and sun dried on paper trays. Fifteen days later they are washed, graded and hand packed to keep them attached to the stem. Try some and you will immediately notice the difference in appearance, feel, and taste.

The holidays are getting closer and we’re super super busy, but we couldn’t resist adding these 3 delicious new products (and yes, we did say chocolate covered banana chips):

Chocolate Covered Banana Chips

Tamari Almonds

Yogurt Covered Almonds

Haha! We’ve just been featured on the cover of the UPS Compass Magazine Fall 2007 Print Edition. Check out our nuttiness! As a little boy I thought it was so cool to come to work with daddy and get to climb on what seemed to be mountains and mountains of peanuts. Maybe one of these days I’ll grow up, but not yet! Haha!
