About Our Company

Primary Industry Classification: Food Manufacturing
Established: 1992
Bertie County Peanuts was launched in 1992 in Windsor, North Carolina, by Powell & Stokes, Inc. Powell & Stokes is a farm supply and bulk peanut buying company that was founded in 1919 by the Powell and Stokes families. The families have been producing peanuts since at least 1898. Bertie County Peanuts was founded on the simple principal that consumers deserve only the best peanut product. Thus, the company produces peanut products that are made only from Super Extra Large Virginia type peanuts. Super Extra Large peanuts are the largest peanuts on the retail market and because of their size and taste are considered a true gourmet peanut. The peanuts used by Bertie County Peanuts are locally grown, and then packaged in recyclable plastic jars so that the products are visible to the consumer. Bertie County Peanuts began as a small retail arm of the larger farm supply business. However, due to the outstanding quality of the award-winning peanut products, the business has experienced tremendous growth over the past 19 years.
