Default Black peanuts -- looking for 75 lbs for Haiti donation

Someone working with a Haiti charity (farmers/gardeners) contacted me to ask if we (SESE) have 75 lbs of Schronce's Deep Black or Carolina Black peanuts -- we don't have that much extra inventory! -- anyone here have that much, or know someone else who might?

Ken, Glenn Drowns in IA lists the Schronce one but I know he wouldn't have that many, but I think that Darrel Jones ( Fusion here at Tville) might still be growing peanuts for Glenn, since Glenn in IA is not in peanut country but Fusion in Alabama is.

And if Fusion doesn't have that many maybe he knows someone who does and maybe someone else will come along and know more.

I'm sure you Googled both of those varieties, but if not, here are the searches for both of them and some looked promising to me, at least.

Hi Carolyn --

Thanks, yep, already emailed Darrel earlier today to see if he might have some/know someone else who does.

I checked out the links, interesting seeing who has them -- some of the seed companies who list them look to be folks who buy bulk packs from SESE and repack the seeds in smaller packets.

The source that would interest me the most was Baker Creek since they have, or used to have, a very large customer base and are also in MO peanut country and subcontract out to Baker Creekites, as it were, to do a lot of production for what they offer.
