Discover the Wakefield Peanut Company: Enhancing Your Outdoor Experience
From Wakefield, Virginia, to Your Backyard

Discover Wakefield Peanut Company

Meet the Virginia company behind a practical collection of in-shell peanuts, shelled wildlife feed, and a purpose-built squirrel nesting box for backyard nature enthusiasts.

A Regional Peanut Tradition

Wakefield Peanut Company is a family-owned business in Wakefield, Virginia—an area closely connected to the history of commercial peanut growing in the United States. Monroe Systems for Business partnered with Wakefield in 2017, bringing selected wildlife products to Typewriters.com and other sales channels.

Today, the live Wakefield Wildlife Peanuts collection centers on five products: four peanut sizes or formats and one outdoor squirrel house.

Who are these products for?

Backyard wildlife watchers, bird-feeding households, squirrel enthusiasts, and anyone who wants a convenient supply of raw peanuts intended as supplemental animal feed.

Important: Always follow package directions, local wildlife-feeding rules, and species-appropriate feeding guidance.

Create a More Responsible Feeding Area

Keep it supplemental

Wildlife should continue relying on varied natural food sources rather than one backyard offering.

Keep feeders clean

Remove damp or spoiled food, wash feeding surfaces, and avoid creating piles that attract pests.

Store products well

Keep peanuts cool, dry, sealed, and away from household members with peanut allergies.

Bring More Backyard Moments Into View
