VIRGINIA HAND PICKED PEANUTS

About Our Peanuts
Quality at its Finest
Throughout the years, we've built relationships with a number of local farmers who support us in the peanut planting and production process. Many of these are award-winning farmers who have been peanut-yield-per-acre state champions, one of the highest honors a peanut farm can receive in Virginia. These peanuts are then put through a number of screening, cleaning, and sorting machines to select and prep only the finest super extra-large peanuts for sale to our customers.
