The Peanut People

Since our humble beginnings in 1917, when George Dallas Barnes began farming peanuts in North Carolina, Hampton Farms Ingredients has grown into America’s go-to source and one-stop shop for peanut ingredients. 

Hampton Farms Ingredients is the leading source for fresh, USA-farmed peanut ingredients, bringing peanuts to the people for over a century with unparalleled quality and care. 

It starts with our commitment to using better seeds and sustainable farming practices, continues with our mission to produce tastier, natural snacks, and carries through to our purpose–to be more thoughtful and more transparent, and to pay it forward whenever and wherever we can. 

From candy and cookies to baked goods and dairy products, we proudly partner with innovative brands, formulators, confectioners, and entrepreneurs seeking to make the world’s best products with our peanuts.

Seed-to-Shelf Stewardship

Our passion for peanut perfection guides our evolving seed-to-shelf vertical integration process. To guarantee the best product for your customers, our company plays a direct role in each stage of production, beginning in the peanut fields. 

Hampton Farms partners with trusted farmers, providing them with top-quality seeds, fertilizers, and crop protectants tailored to their unique growing conditions. After harvest, peanuts are stored in over 30 dedicated warehouses across four states before heading to our shelling facilities for cleaning and sizing. 

Using a strategic mix of contracted carriers and our fleet, our high-quality peanut ingredients always arrive fresh (and on time) across all 50 states. Great peanuts start in the soil – and we’re there every step along the way to make sure they reach shelves in their very best form. 

Values

Hampton Farms is a family-owned, faith-led company with values that have shaped our business for over 100 years.

We feel blessed to have built a successful business and continue to adhere to the fundamental principles that got us here: maintaining honesty, integrity, and fairness, and playing an active role within our local, regional, and national communities.
