National Peanut Day Giveaway | Belmont Peanuts

In celebration of National Peanut Day, we’re proud to feature one of our longstanding agricultural customers, Belmont Peanuts. For more than 30 years, Belmont Peanuts has been cultivating and crafting Virginia-grown peanuts, and earning a reputation for excellence with their gourmet products. But Belmont Peanuts is more than just a business—it’s a legacy.

Belmont Peanuts: A Family Legacy Rooted in Tradition

Belmont Peanuts began as a family venture and remains one to this day, with three generations carrying forward the tradition. The Marks family’s farm dates back to 1790, and their dedication to the land and community is as strong today as it was then. Their mission is simple: to grow, harvest, and deliver the freshest, most delicious peanuts while preserving the unique Virginia soil and farming heritage.

While the Belmont Peanuts product line has expanded over the years, reaching customers nationwide and internationally, they remain connected to their local roots. The Belmont Deli and Specialty Shop offers a welcoming experience for travelers and locals, serving fresh, locally sourced meals in an inviting setting. This family-run business reflects the warm hospitality and dedication to quality that has made Belmont Peanuts a favorite among peanut lovers nationwide.
