Bad news, folks. A drought in the southeastern portion of the Commonwealth means that the peanut crop is down. The expected harvest this year is 2,000 pounds per acre down from an average of 3,000 pounds per acre. This doesn't mean you will have to stop doing all of the fun things you like to do with your peanuts and peanut products nor does it mean the peanut shops in Williamsburg won't be here for your visit.
The Peanut Shop in Merchants Square is open 9:30am-9pm daily, so you should have plenty of time to fill all of your peanut needs including Friday evening after the reception when the shuttle bus will run extra late from Merchants Square to the hotel to give you time for all of your dinner, Colonial Williamsburg, and peanut needs to be met. Updates: There is a Saturday early bird discount of 10% off all purchases between 8 and 10 a.m. The Peanut Shop's fall flavors promotion gets you 20% off all apple, sweet potato, onion, and maple products in October. I'm imagining all of those flavors in my mouth at the same time along with peanuts...not liking the flavor.
More peanuts:
Whitley's Peanut Factory's Williamsburg retail outlet can be found on Richmond Road.
Padow's Hams and Deli is also on Richmond Road (like many things that tourists crave).
And I think I have some peanuts in my cupboard leftover from when I moved to Virginia. Look for those in the hospitality suite, I guess.

I forgot about the peanuts! Yeah! If I remember correctly, you can actually have an entire peanut meal at the Peanut Shop by grazing through its samples?
NUTS!
Hey it worked to get "Jericho" uncanceled.
