Local woman-led business is spreading their love of indulgent peanut butter
In honor of International Women’s Day, Anya Mueller caught up with a successful woman-led business in Rapid City known for their specialty flavored peanut butters - Nerdy Nuts.
March 8, 2021
Years ago, Erika Peterson went nuts over making fresh ground peanut butter.
That led her and her husband to spread their love and buy a refurbished peanut grinder to make their own product.
Erika was pregnant with her second child and wanted to re-enter the workforce.
Erika Peterson, co-founder of Nerdy Nuts, says, “I was just so determined to prove that women could be working mothers and be amazing at their jobs and that shouldn’t be a drawback – I’m going to fuel this passion and frustration into something great.”

Readers Respond to the Market Boom in Second Homes and Pandemic Puppies “Nice story about how the pandemic doesn’t affect the affluent. They are still buying second homes and luxury properties. Shocking.” Holiday shopping in downtown Portland. (Alex Wittwer)
In last week s cover story, WW examined eight Oregon businesses that have boomed during the pandemic. That includes dog breeders like an English cream golden retriever breeder in Salem who has upped the price per puppy by $500 and has a waiting list through next year and vacation homes in Sunriver, where buyers largely from California are snatching homes off the market, often for above asking price. Sales of jigsaw puzzles, blankets and wine are also on the rise, but our readers had the most to say about pandemic puppies and second homes.
