We made it through 2020! And despite all the challenges we faced this year, as we look back we are proud of our accomplishments, and filled with gratitude for all of those who helped us get through! 
In 2020 we rolled out our package and brand redesign that freshened our look and:
* incorporated "easy to open" peel off tops with resealable over caps
* added simple icons to identify nutritional benefits such as gluten free and cholesterol free
* introduced resealable pouch bags for our 1 lb. refill center and 3 oz. sizes.
We adjusted to the evolving challenges presented by Covid-19 including:
* store closings, re-openings, and increased sanitation and other requirements
* warehouse facility adjustments including increased sanitation schedules, requiring mask wearing, and spacing out workers in production, shipping and customer service areas
We also adapted and adjusted to the shipping scare of Holiday 2020; the well founded concern about major shipping delays caused by the increased volume of shipping nationally. 
We worked closely with our shipping company and worked to communicate our concerns to our customers, encouraging order early, ship early, which seems to have helped out.
With these challenges of 2020 met, we would like to say:
THANK YOU!
* to our customers who stood by us and purchased snacks and gifts throughout the year!
* to our suppliers who worked hard to get us what we needed, battling 2020 supply chain complexities.
* and to our employees, who stepped up to the challenges and put in the long hard hours needed to make and deliver the best gourmet Virginia peanuts, confections and other nuts on the market!
