As we continue to expand our organic offering, we came to the realization that we can now create our very own organic trail mix. This is very very exciting. I know

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!!!

This just in from Alabama A&M University’s Department of Food and Animal Sciences…A new study by a group of Huntsville researchers found that boiled peanuts bring out up to four times more chemicals that help protect against disease than raw, dry or oil-roasted nuts. These phytochemicals have antioxidant qualities that protect cells against the risk of degenerative diseases, including cancers, diabetes and heart disease.

In all the the excitement today, Jeffrey was running around to help the shipping team get everything out on time…and he smashed his head into a beam and got cut really bad…as you can see in this photo he is somewhat of a zombie with a great case of hat head…but still our hero! This picture is Jeffrey and David inside the UPS truck after loading in 5 pallets of nuts - that’s two tons - which is four thousand pounds! Go Jericho team go!

Almost ready for UPS to show up…5 giant pallets of nuts!!!

Here’s Jeff with a giant bag of 25 pounds of peanuts, and then one of our handy dandy one pound size ziploc pouches. YUM.

Our roaster is going nuts, too!
