Celebrating Our 35th Anniversary This Year!
Whitley's Peanut Factory has been producing gourmet Virginia peanuts, hand-cooked and slow-roasted the old-fashioned way since the Summer of 1986 when Marion Smith started the family business off Route 17 in Gloucester, Virginia.

A lot has changed in 35 years, but what hasn't changed is our dedication to
  • producing the finest Virginia peanuts on the market, and
  • delivering top-notch customer service.

New LOVE Sign in Gloucester County
Whitley's Peanut Factory is proud to announce that our Retail Outlet Store in Gloucester Virginia is home to a new LOVEworks sign for Gloucester County, Virginia. A huge shoutout and thanks go to the dedicated team at the Gloucester County Parks, Recreation, and Tourism Department and Sign Media for turning this idea into a reality!

The LOVE artwork program, called LOVEworks, is commissioned by Virginia Tourism Corporation and is an extension of the “Virginia is for Lovers” brand.

Giant LOVE letters in towns and cities across the Commonwealth, usually artistically depicting what the area is know for, have become popular tourist attractions, inspiring viral posts on social media.

If you live nearby or are visiting, please stop by, take a picture, and come inside to see us! Be sure to share your pictures using the hashtag #LOVEVA on Facebook at Facebook.com/VirginiaisforLovers or by tagging @VisitVirginia on Instagram and Twitter.
A Look Behind-The-Scenes at Whitley's
We often get asked about tours of the Factory to see how our products are made. Unfortunately, our strict quality standards won't allow for in-person tours. But, we are working on a solution!

In June we began shooting a new video showing our nut and candy production areas. It will also feature Whitley's Peanut Factory President, Todd Smith, answering some of the most frequently asked questions we get about our products and the business.

Be on the lookout for our new video coming to our website this Fall!
