Recipe Roundup

It’s not that strange, once you’ve done the research. Baker says he turned to “experts” at the University of Minnesota, for their preliminary peanut research, and University of New Mexico, because most organic peanuts are grown in New Mexico and west Texas. He also learned of a group of about a dozen farmers in the Niagara Region of Ontario who were producing peanuts.

Baker even sent a letter to the Peanut Bureau of Canada, which he found to be a top resource in his search.

“To this day, I appreciate it,” Baker says.

Starting with next month’s issue of the North Dakota Rural Electric Magazine, a new department for the ladies will be instituted.
