For the Marks family, peanut farming is more than an occupation - it's been a way of life for generations.
Our commitment at Belmont is to grow, harvest, and deliver the freshest, most delicious, hand-cooked Gourmet Virginia Peanuts on the market. The original home structure on our farm land named "Belmont" dates back to 1790 and is on both the Virginia Landmarks Register and the National Register for Historical Places. We work the land to preserve a way of life that we treasure and pay careful attention each year to implement good environmental practices that nurture our farm land, preserve our unique Virginia soil, and build community through local agriculture.
From a tiny seed to a mature plant that helps feed the nation, it's a remarkable journey - one we are proud to be a part of year after year.
