About HAMPTON FARMS

Story

In the last 100 years, Hampton Farms has evolved from a small family business into a family of companies, with a shared commitment to excellence. As the leading roaster of in-shell peanuts in the United States, we take pride in providing America's finest nut-based foods. Here's more about the journey:

  1. Founding and Growth:
    • After World War II, Garland Dallas Barnes returned from military service and founded Severn Peanut Company with his father, George Dallas Barnes.
    • Garland, affectionately known as "Mutt" Barnes, was there from day one and later served as president until the 1980s.
    • Today, G. Dallas Barnes (Mutt's son) and his namesake grandson lead the Hampton Farms family of companies.
  2. Quality and Relationships:
    • We carefully cultivate relationships with farmers to ensure the quality of the products from seed to shelf.
    • Headquartered in Severn, North Carolina, we operate with full vertical integration, guaranteeing premier quality at every stage.
