Elisha Barnes Virginia Peanuts
Just dug nuts, left on the vine as they grew, are wrapped about around five-foot-high poles to dry out in the field (think corn shucks). They're left to cure for about a month and a half before they're brought in, cleaned, and brought to Hubs to get that patented blistering, roasting and salting. A hundred years ago pretty much every peanut farmer did this. Today Elisha Barnes is the only one still doing it.
