White Acre Peas

Field peas are a favorite family, especially the ever popular white acre peas.  

Good news, we currently have white acre peas for sale!  The whole peas are $4.00 a half peck and $20.00 a bushel.  Shelled peas are $4.00 a pint and $23.00 a bushel.  Please call (352) 475-2015 to reserve your bushel!

We also have a few black eye and pink eye peas as well; white acres are what we have in abundance right now though.   

Field peas, like all produce, are best fresh.  However, they also freeze well. Stock up now to make sure that you have peas for your Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners.

If you are going to freeze peas for 3 months or less there is no need to blanch them.  Simply, rinse peas in a colander and scoop into freezer bags.  If you plan on keeping the peas in your freezer for more than 3 months it is recommended to blanch the peas prior to freezing them.  Here is a great blog post on blanching peas: http://southernbackwoods.com/backwoodsgirls/how-to-blanch-peas-for-freezing-anna/
