The Nutty News Digest 

Issue  19 : Spring 2020
Daffodils announce the arrival of  Spring in Gloucester, Virginia.

Thankfully social distancing doesn't apply to daffodils! They've been out in abundance in Gloucester County, Virginia, home of Whitley's Peanut Factory's manufacturing facility,  announcing that winter is behind us and bringing us  hope that the joys of spring and summer are coming our way soon.

Meet our Team:  Cooking Room Production
Whitley's Peanut Factory Nut Production Team
It all starts here.  Meet the team that hand cooks and slowly roasts our super extra large Virginia peanuts, jumbo cashews, and other nuts to golden perfection. They also season the nuts according to time tested recipes and hand pack them to ensure freshness. 

Supervisor David Hall (far left) has been with Whitley's Peanut Factory for about two  years and all together the team has close to 50 years of experience! Their hard work and dedication to producing a product "like no other peanut you've ever tasted" clearly shows and we couldn't be more proud to have a team like this at Whitley's. 

Staying Healthy With Peanuts
Looking for healthy snacks?  Did you know that in just one daily serving of peanuts you can fight disease, help manage your weight, and even protect your body and mind?
