Amazing
Mar 26, 2024
Read the article last year in Southern Living and ordered a can. They were amazing and everyone that tried them loved them. Tried to order more but they were sold out. But got notice today they were back in stock and ordered a case. So glad Mr. Barnes is sticking to the old ways. Best of luck to him and his family. Thank you to Hubbard Peanuts for carrying these.

These are the best peanuts ever! As a little girl , the peanuts my family ate were small with red skins.
Thanks to Elisha for keeping this wonderful tradition alive. I tried to order but they are sold out (of course). Can't wait to buy them again.

I have been ordering from Hubbs for a couple of years now. I'm back to order more only this time I explored more items on the website and found
Elisha's beautiful story in the video. I thought to myself, I have to have these! I'm happy for Elisha but I'm very sad they are sold out. I'll be back! I wish him and and his family continued success!

I just finished my first order of Mr. Elisha's Single Origin peanuts. OMGoodness! Since receiving them I found myself nibbling on them every day and throughout the day as a snack. My waistline is suffering for it but I have enjoyed every single one. My family grew peanuts in Mississippi when I was growing up, but we did not do this process. I see and taste the difference. Congratulations on your success and partnership with Mr. Elisha...I will tell all my friends...but see these are already sold out! Glad I got my taste in!

Love them!

I read the article in Southern Living about peanut farmer Mr. Elisha Barnes. I immediately ordered these peanuts. I shared them with our architect, designer, and contractor during a construction meeting. Everyone learned about "shocking" peanuts during harvest (from me) and everyone LOVED the peanuts! I am ordering some for my dad in Ohio now.

Fabulous product

I don't usually eat peanuts - never thought of them as particularly healthy. But when I read Elisha's story, I had to try these peanuts. They are the best tasting peanuts I have ever had and I have to stop myself from over consuming them! I hope Elisha's family continues with his tradition of air-drying his peanuts. I also love that they are a Single Source peanut. This product is excellent!! Keep it coming, please!

Outstanding quality

I can really taste the care and nurturing that went into this product. I love the slight variation in color and size, and that means I'm eating a truly natural product. Excellent nut for cooking, blending into butter or eating as-is.

Single Origin Redskins, yum yum

Thank you to Mr Elishia Barnes and Hubbards for bringing us these Single Origin Redskin peanuts.
After reading article about Mr Barnes and his old school method in Virginia Living and other magazine articles I wanted to try them.
I highly respect Mr Barnes for his dedication and for producing the most delicious peanuts ever.
They are absolutely delicious and I find I need a handful or so every day.
Since they aren't always available I'm getting ready to order four more cans so I won't run out before next crop,is available.
Thanks again.

These peanuts are so special. I hope if many of your customers buy them, you will continue to support Mr. Barnes and his successors in providing us with peanuts farmed in this traditional way.

Simply the Best!!

I know they say progress is the way to go, but sometimes the old ways are best, and these peanuts are proof. Sweet and crunchy, these single origin redskins were a delightful surprise when I first tried them. And knowing that I'm supporting a small, local farmer just makes it all the better. I also recently had the opportunity to meet Mr. Elisha Barnes and he is the nicest, most humble and down-to-earth gentleman. It was wonderful getting to chat with him about his methods and love for farming.

The old way is still the best way and the taste and quality of these peanuts are tremendous. Loved seeing the story about the family and how they still dry the peanuts the way farmers used to. Hope y'all will continue to offer this product, I love them

After seeing the video I definitely wanted to support Elisha Barnes. Was a truly inspiring video. The peanuts just arrived and we are extremely happy we ordered. They truly are sweet peanuts. Will definitely be placing an additional orders for the upcoming holidays. Thanks Mr. Barnes for all your efforts - can taste the love!

These peanuts grown and harvested the old fashion way are truly sweeter tasting. I am happy to have made many purchases of these delicious peanuts and supported Elisha and Hubbard Peanuts.

We have been enjoying your peanuts since the 1970's when we lived in Virginia. During the middle of February, we ordered the Single Orgin Redskins after reading the South Hampton's Farmer's story. We were more than pleasantly surprised as to how delicious they were. Highly recommend!!!!
