Welcome to AboutPeanuts.com
AboutPeanuts.com represents the three states that comprise the Virginia Carolinas Peanut growing region. Peanuts come in four different market types, including the Virginia type. The majority of Virginia type peanuts are produced in our region of the United States.
While each of our states has independent associations and boards to represent local growers, we do collaborate on a variety of initiatives including this site. On behalf of our growers, the purpose of this site is to promote and provide education about peanuts from our region.
