Saying "Goodbye" To our loyal customers

Friends, if you haven't heard the news yet—we have decided to shut down our store and stop selling peanuts altogether. I know, sad news! We have enjoyed countless support over the past 5 years from customers literally around the world.

What's the big "why"? There are many reasons, but simply put—Tennessee Peanut Company no longer fulfills what we originally set out to do. Our original intent was to 1) create a family business that allowed us to work together as our children grew up in a traditional skill, 2) raise and offer an honest, God-made product that makes people smile and contributes to their livelihood, and 3) be interwoven in our local community in an impactful way, serving people not only with friendship, a livelihood at times, and a good product, but with the work of our hands that honors our Creator and shares His purpose with all who are willing to receive it.

When we started this business 5 years ago in the beautiful fall of 2019, we had no idea a pandemic would soon follow. The pandemic shut down market-life and forced the world around us into quarantine. As a result, our exciting business had to dramatically shift from in-person to online. Our wonderful peanuts had to shift from fresh-cooked to canned and preserved. Our distribution went from local to national—diminishing our ability to "do it ourselves" and requiring us to rely on marketing campaigns, distribution warehouses, and "internet work." As a result, all three of our original goals were compromised, despite 5 years of trying to correct the course.

As our family has grown, so has our destination. While we are "killing our darling" in one way, it is opening up our time and resources to work on something much more aligned with our original goals. We can't wait to share that!

In the meantime, please know that every dollar spent with our business went towards meals for my family...and clothes, baseball games, you name it. It was worth every heartache, and we are beyond grateful to everyone for allowing us the opportunity to serve you in this special way over the years. Till next time!

INTENTIONAL DESIGN

We can't resist classic design - products that stand out and blend in, anywhere they happen to be. It's our intention that the products we use be more than a throw-away item - we want them to honor the environment they're in - whether on a table for snacking with the family - or on a shelf a 100 years from now.
