Newsoms Peanut Shop! Southampton County, Virginia!

Alright, let’s talk “salty” this week!  So, peanuts of course!  A pretty awesome place on The Salty Southern Route is Newsoms Peanut Shop!  The Bunn Family in Southampton, Virginia knows the peanut, having a long farming heritage in the county!
 
Since opening their shop in 1980, Newsoms wants you to know that they make the freshest peanuts, only making their product per order!  When you ride The Salty Southern Route to Newsoms Peanut Shop the comfortable feeling of family and country charm takes over the senses!  That feeling is only amplified when you walk into the shop and are welcomed by the friendly greetings of family members that have worked their land and product for many years.  The walls of the shop is filled with mementos and memories that truly makes you feel that the word family and peanut go together!  Blair Bunn, Newsom’s owner, tells the story of his family’s long history in farming over the years on their website.  His family lives on part of Turtle Creek Farm, the family farm, where they also raise row crops and cattle.  The story of the Newsom Peanut started in his mom’s kitchen where she used to cook famous home-cooked and country packed peanuts!  The first summer they would load their truck up with sweet corn, watermelons, cantaloupes, tomatoes and Mom would bring along those delicious peanuts!  All these years later, The Newsom Peanut is distributed to people throughout the U.S. and abroad!    
 
Which leads us to, most importantly, the mouth-watering peanuts!  Product categories include Home Cooked Virginia Peanuts, Homemade Brittle and Candies, Pecans, Raw Virginia Peanuts, Seasonal Samples, Roasted In-Shell-Virginia Peanuts and The Chocolate Factory!  Newsoms products are found and can be purchased for sale in many grocery and specialty shops throughout Virginia!  They work with many groups, such as The Boy and Girl Scouts and 4-H, for fundraising and even offer custom or private labeling!
