It's Fall Along the Salty Southern Route

The harvest of peanuts, corn, and cotton, and the changing leaves create a beautiful drive down our rural highways of the Salty Southern Route. The autumn flavors of fresh peanuts, smoked meats, and warm spices are abundant at the restaurants and local businesses along the route. Visiting the family farms of Southeastern Virginia during the fall can be an unforgettable experience. Here are some places you might want to add to your seasonal plans.
