Summer produce

Everything is growing nicely and harvest is just around the corner for our sugar enhanced white sweet corn, butterbeans, crowder peas, snaps and more.
Email  orders@oliverproduce.com to get on the spreadsheet-products and prices can be found under the tab on our website.

WHAT ARE CROWDER PEAS? (Pictured here in 2011 before picking through and bagging in one or five pound bags) Field peas, crowder peas, blackeye peas are all part of a larger species of beans commonly called “cowpeas” or “Southern peas.” They are commonly grown in the South because they adapt well to our heat-tolerant, and drought-resistant area. Their flavor and texture are similar to blackeye peas. With a rich and hearty flavor, it creates a dark pot liquor when cooked. Crowder peas are delicious when cooked with smoked pork, onions, and garlic sauteed in butter. I love one pot meals!!!!

Summer Produce Ahead

With the strawberry season is over, we now turn to our summer produce: sweet corn, butterbeans, crowder/southern field peas, snaps/green beans and more!
Send an email to orders@oliverproduce.com to be notified when we start harvesting. I maintain a spreadsheet and will contact you to schedule pickup.
