Who are we?

We are a unique food stand offering the fine folks of Lafayette County and the surrounding areas with delicious, boiled peanuts in a variety of bursting flavors. We make it a point to source fresh green peanuts from the state of Georgia, known for this southern delicacy, which are then prepared here in Oxford by the company’s founder, Amanda Haley, a Georgia native who found her way to Mississippi and into what we like to call, the Velvet Ditch.

We’ll be offering 3 flavors year round - salted, cajun, and garlic parmesan. We’ll also have daily specials and other unique offerings such as Spicy & Salty Dill Pickle, Buffalo Ranch, Salt & Vinegar, Hot Honey Ham, and many more! We’ll be roasting some nuts also, if you’re into that sorta thing.

We sure hope you enjoy our nuts!

A Letter from the Owner

Growing up in Georgia, boiled peanuts were on every street corner and convenience store parking lot. My grandparents introduced me to them at a young age and I spent so many years making memories with special people while sharing boiled peanuts. So the quality of the peanut and the memories made while enjoying them are both important to me. I’ve been missing them since I moved to Oxford 8 years ago.

So, I brought a little bit of Georgia to North Mississippi. I can’t wait to continue meeting and sharing something we all love!

xoxo, Amanda
