It is owned and operated by Ernie and Nancy Racz of Vittoria, Ontario. The company is

The Beginning |
| |
From 1947-1985, the prime sandy soils of the area supported a thriving tobacco farm. In
the mid-1970's, Ernie Racz initiated viability experiments on
various peanut seed types. He discovered that the Valencia
peanut was well suited to the light sandy soils and began
growing commercially in 1982. You can learn more about how we grow and manufacture our peanuts on
the
Planting and Growing page. |
 |
Today, the family farm contains
an entire peanut manufacturing, wholesale and retail operation. |
