Where Do Peanuts Come From? The Process of Harvesting Virginia Peanuts

Peanuts are one of those foods that are always around. They're packed into school lunches, poured into bowls at family gatherings, served at baseball games, tucked into holiday gift baskets, and enjoyed by the handful on road trips. They're one of those foods that always seem to be around, but most of us have never stopped to think about where they actually come from. At Hubs, we've been preparing Virginia peanuts since 1954, but every batch starts long before it reaches our kitchen in Sedley. Let's take a closer look at how they're grown, harvested, and prepared before they become the Hubs peanuts you've enjoyed for generations. Where Do Virginia Peanuts Come From? Although we call them nuts, peanuts are actually legumes. They grow beneath the ground after the plant flowers above the soil, making them one of the few foods harvested this way. Virginia is known for producing the largest peanuts in the country. Their size, texture, and flavor make them a favorite for gourmet snacking, gifting, and entertaining. At Hubs, every variety begins with carefully selected Super Extra-Large Virginia peanuts, chosen for the exceptional size and crunch that have defined the brand for generations. 1. Planting Virginia peanut seeds are planted in the spring once the soil reaches about 65°F and the risk of frost has passed. The seeds are placed several inches apart in sandy, well-drained soil, giving each plant enough room to grow throughout the summer. 2. Flowering About a month after planting, small yellow flowers begin to bloom above the ground. Once pollinated, each flower produces a slender stem called a peg. Unlike most plants, the peg grows downward instead of upward, pushing itself into the soil where the peanut pod begins to form. 3. Growing Underground As the pegs continue developing beneath the surface, peanut pods slowly mature underground over the next several weeks. While the peanuts grow below the soil, the leafy green plant continues growing above ground, absorbing sunlight and nutrients that help the crop develop. 4. Digging By early fall, the peanuts have reached maturity and are ready for harvest. Farmers use specialized equipment called a peanut digger to gently lift the entire plant from the ground and turn it upside down, leaving the peanut pods exposed to the air while still attached to the vine. 5. Drying After digging, the plants remain in the field for two to three days to dry naturally in the sun. This step reduces the moisture inside the peanuts, helping preserve their quality and preparing them for harvesting and storage. 6. Picking & Grading Once the plants have dried, a harvesting machine removes the peanut pods from the vines. The peanuts are then cleaned and graded based on size and quality.  From the Harvest to Hubs Every peanut follows a similar journey through the field. What makes Hubs different begins after harvest. In 1954, Dorothy "Dot" Hubbard believed people had never truly experienced the taste of a great Virginia peanut. Using peanuts grown on her father's farm in Southampton County, she perfected her family's recipe and pioneered a unique cooking technique that would eventually become the industry standard for gourmet Virginia peanuts. She didn't stop there. Dot insisted on selecting only the largest peanuts from each crop. Those specifications eventually became the highly sought-after Super Extra-Large grade Virginia peanuts are known for today. As demand grew, she and her husband, HJ, continued refining their cooking process while never compromising on quality. More than 70 years later, Hubs still prepares its peanuts in Sedley, Virginia, where the company first began Our Best-Selling Virginia Peanuts  Salted Peanuts Choco Covered Peanuts Sweet Heat Honey Kissed Hubs What Makes Hubs Peanuts Different?
