Reliable producers, Tennessee Red Valencia peanut is a southern favorite well adapted to northern growing conditions. Direct seeded first week of June in well-drained loam, plants are gently harvested whole, carefully digging around the whole plant, lifting it with a potato fork. We keep the peanuts in the ground for as long as possible, harvesting when the leaves were mostly yellowed, before our first light frost in mid-September. We then hang them in the barn to allow them to completely dry down.
