Gurganus Peanut & Buying Station

My absolute favorite. I moved to Virginia from South Carolina and had the hardest time finding my favorite snack until I stumbled upon this gem. THE BEST BOILED PEANUTS BY FAR!!! Feels like my Grandmother's house every time I enter! Makes me feel right at home. Everything is displayed neat and nice on the shelves. Always clean! The owner is the sweetest and I don't mind spending my money with this family-owned establishment AT ALL!!! I come at least twice a month being that I don't live close by. I purchase 2-3 bags of the cajun boiled peanuts in the Ziploc bags that are in the refrigerator. I usually warm one in the microwave for 2 minutes before leaving. They always place extra paper towels and things in my bag so I can get to snacking as soon as I get back in the car. I've purchased strawberry jam, pistachios, chocolate covered peanuts, post cards(to send to my nephews back home), and so much more from this place. Always fresh and tasty! Not the postcards guys lol! All types of produce and products such as candles, etc are available. It comes up really quick so take your time and hit that U-Turn and see whats available. Check this business out.

Made a u-turn to come back to this cute lil shop right off the freeway, albeit to let the doggie have a potty break but took that opportunity to browse the offerings. I purchased a bag of salted in shell peanuts thankfully the proprietor-ess pointed out I had selected unsalted peanuts and that definitely would have been a mistake! Also, brought butter toffee roasted nuts to my son and daughter in law--we definitely should have purchased more because they are delish and once you start snacking, it is nearly impossible to stop. The highlight was listening to the phone conversation wherein Mildred was assured there would be sweet corn well into August but if she wanted the 50 pieces peeled and shucked, she better get on down'ere cuz they gon get sold otherwise. All the southern charm with great advice and local produce, peanuts, jams and whatnot--Praise the Lawd!

We stopped by again a few days ago and bought some more peanuts. Nice stop and still recommend!

Local peanut and produce farmer. Great products. Sweet corn was excellent. They will ship the peanuts . Nice clean place right on highway.
