"Ok, now let's talk about Butterball Ham. In 2014, the Joseph Sanders Meat company of Custer, Michigan ("Sanders"), applied to the United States Trademark and Patent Office ("USPTO") to register BUTTERBALL HAM for ham products.  Around the same time, Sanders also started snapping up domain names with the BUTTERBALL name in them, and even applied to the Michigan Secretary of State to change its d/b/a to the "Butterball Ham Company."  


"The Origins of Our Favorite Nostalgic Thanksgiving Brands "

The late Leo Peters attended Calvin College. His son now owns & operates Butterball Farms which makes 'fancy butter'' including the little patties provided with hotcakes at McDonalds. 

There is a special 'collection' of  Peters papers at the Calvin Library. All the children of Leo & Helen Peters as well as his 2nd wife Nancy attended Calvin University as well. 

Their names are Martha, Linda, Barbara, Diana (Di), Sandra (San), Andrea (Ani), Teresa (Teri), and the only boy, Mark. One daughter, late Brenda, did not attend college (she was born with downs syndrome). 


"The next owner, Leo Peters, sold the name "Butterball" to Swift and Co., which would come under ConAgra ownership in 1990. The company did not become the largest turkey producer in the country (approximately one billion each year) until 2006, when it transferred ownership to Carolina Turkeys. But what really made Butterball synonymous with Thanksgiving was the launch of the Turkey Talk-Line, .."

Every year around this time Leo Peters gets mentioned again. Here's a new one: "How Butterball Is Getting a Turkey on Your Table for Zoom Thanksgiving | "

 Every year around this time Leo Peters ('grandpa') gets mentioned again. Here's a new one  "How Butterball Is Getting a Turkey on Your Table for Zoom Thanksgiving | " "In 1951, food-industry researcher and entrepreneur Leo Peters was casting about for a name for the Grand Rapids, Michigan, company he had formed to develop a yellower margarine and heartier turkey breed. Stumbling on the Butterball trademark, which worked for both sides of his business, Peters bought up the rights. But a few years later, he decided his future lay solely in butter, and in the late 1950s, he leased (and later sold) the name Butterball to meat manufacturer Swift for its turkey business, marking the beginning of Butterball turkey appearing in supermarkets. (Peters retained the right to use the name Butterball for his thriving butter business, Butterball Farms, which to this day
sells actual balls of butter, among other items.)
Since then, the Butterball ..."

Huh? "Have a selfish Thanksgiving - "

"The young and healthy men resented working uncompensated for other people. The strong reaped nothing from any extra work they did, and so had the exact same amount as those less fit for work. "This was thought injustice," according to Bradford. The women, called upon to provide "service for other men, as dressing their meat, washing their clothes, etc. they deemed it a kind of slavery, neither could their husbands brook it."

another story about BUTTERBALL FARMS (undated)

"According to Mark, his father [Leo Peters] drew inspiration from Whitman's Sampler Chocolates, which are presented in different shapes and designs, offering a more creative exterior. "Butter should be beautiful," says Mark, quoting Butterball's philosophy.  .."

11/16/19 this is the ORIGINAL "BUTTERBALL" PATENT APPLICATION by Ada Walker in 1939 from whom Leo Peters bought the rights to the name

this is the ORIGINAL "BUTTERBALL" PATENT APPLICATION by Ada Walker in 1939 from whom Leo Peters bought the rights to the name & used for his BOUTIQUE BUTTER (which is also used by McDonalds for the hotcake breakfast) . 

Butterball Farms in Grand Rapids MI continues to sell the butter and uses the name Butterball, but it is more commonly associated with the Butterball Turkey who purchased the rights to use the name from Leo Peters, but a deal was made that Peters could continue forever to use the name with his butter.

"Political Pistachio: Early Thanksgiving "


"The concept of a Thanksgiving Feast is not uniquely American. The Spanish Colonies also had thanksgiving ceremonies and meals as well. The colonists in the New World, be they English, Dutch, French, Spanish, or of any other European origin, were a deeply religious people, and felt it necessary to give thanks to God for their survival, and prosperity, in their new land. The Pilgrims had plenty to be thankful for, and so theirs is the story that has been most publicized (perhaps with a little help from the 1861 push for a Thanksgiving Holiday). However, Turkey was not the dominant item on the menu, nor was many of our other traditional favorites..."

happy thanksgiving ! i ALWAYS SEARCH MY GRANDPA'S NAME AROUND THANKSGIVING for any new ITERATIONS of his BUTTERBALL STORY. HERE'S A NEW ONE

IT'S A REPEAT OF SIMILAR DESCRIPTIONS..although they don't mention that he retained the rights for using it with his butter as well, hence "Butterball Farms" is still in business to this day, their biggest contract being the small McDonalds butter patties handed out usually with the hotcakes. But they also make larger patties for fancy restaurants around the midwest. 

"The Butterball turkey name was trademarked back in 1940 by Ada Walker. Leo Peters purchased the trademark in 1951 and licensed the name to Swift and Company. Ten years later he sold it to Swift, which was acquired in 1990 by ConAgra. In 2006 ConAgra sold the Butterball brand to Carolina Turkey, making it the largest turkey producer in the United States, producing more than 1 billion pounds of turkey each year. That's a lot of turkey!

JESUS SAVES !!

ALL of the PETERS KIDS (from the 1st & 2nd marriages, that's 5 + 3) ATTENDED GRAND RAPIDS CHRISTIAN HIGH and CALVIN COLLEGE(except one of the late daughters, Brenda, who was developmantally disabled) , and attended CHRISTIAN REFORMED CHURCHES in Grand Rapids growing up (and at least 4 of the grandchildren are also Eagle-Knights ) 

Mark was the only son of the late Leo Peters , and inherited the Butterball Farms business (also based in Grand Rapids). They continue to manufacture "fancy butter" , a tiny version of which is provided with the hotcakes at McDonalds around the USA. 

Butterball actually began in Evanston Ilinois, and then moved to West Michigan. The older daughters from Leo Peters 1st marriage (to Helen, who died at a young age) helped their father as he began experimenting with making butter beautiful in their apartment home near Lake Michigan in the Chicago area. Once it began to sell well, Leo moved to Grand Rapids, bought the mansion, established a factory on Buchanan Avenue, and the rest, as they say, is history.*

Mark recently sold the "Butterball Mansion" and apparently left much of the estate to the new owner, who apparently is selling it off , and re-selling the mansion ?

*albeit, while Leo Peters was a smart businessman, there are those family members who contend he was NOT a good person in terms of relationships & family, which, when all is said and done, is most important , right ? At least if it is properly aligned with a relationship with Jesus Christ: Father -Son- &- Holy Spirit. Being a successful business person and making lots of money means very little in the end if the bigger picture of one's life  does not do something positive in the eyes of our Lord God. Leo attended LaGrave Avenue CRC. He also sent all his kids to the Christian schools, and he, himself, also attended Calvin College. For some, however, the Christian schools, are just a good "private" option. 

How about any of you at Calvin or Christian High? Are you there because of CHRIST or because it's a good , private, option  to public education ? I HOPE AND PRAY you're there for the RIGHT REASONS! Yes, I went there too (Calvin & GRCH) and now I am in southern California. I KNOW how easy it is to go thru the motions of church and Christian education. But at some point you have to make a SERIOUS CRITICAL INTROSPECTIVE DECISION to truly follow Christ and put your MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS... ; don't just go thru the motions ! GOD BLESS YOU. GOD BLESS US. AND LET US BLESS GOD

SOME OF MY THANKSGIVING-RELATED POSTS from YEARS GONE BY CAN BE VIEWED HERE IN A TURN-THE-PAGE WEBSITE

11/20/17 A NEW BUTTERBALL STORY IN THE NEWS that REFERENCES GRANDPA LEO PETERS

"

Anyway, in 1951, Leo Peters purchased the trademark from Walker for $10.  Having collected the interesting mark, Peters didn't know what to use it for at first (like I said, some of this story doesn't really pass muster), so while he was deciding, he licensed it to a Chicago meat processing company, Swift & Co., famous for having retained its status as a major food company even after serving as a poster child and punching bag for Teddy' Roosevelt's trust-busting crusade a few decades earlier.

The first BUTTERBALL brand turkey reportedly was sold by Swift in 1954. Based on trademark assignment records, the product must have been a hit because Leo Peters permanently and formally licensed or assigned the registration to Swift in 1956.  Peters apparently retained non-poultry related rights in the BUTTERBALL mark and, in the late 1950's or early 1960's, founded Butterball Farms, Inc., a butter company in Grand Rapids, Michigan, that is still in business but has nothing to do with turkey..."
