About
According to the company, Tennessee Peanut was founded in the fall of 2019 by Jay Cleveland and family, who “began operating Tennessee Peanut right here in Nashville, Tennessee.” The business started modestly, “selling peanuts out of a pickup truck in open air farmers markets on Saturday mornings in Nashville,” and grew from a weekend pursuit into a sustainable business driven by demand from market goers. The company’s stated values emphasize quality, heritage, local sourcing, and community.
The website also describes a more recent chapter in which Early’s Honey Stand, established in 1925 and described as “Williamson County’s oldest business,” acquired Tennessee Peanut Company from Jay Cleveland and his family. The announcement presents the acquisition as an expansion of Early’s operations while maintaining Tennessee Peanut’s legacy, and references Curtis Gibbs on behalf of Early’s Honey Stand. Early’s Honey Stand is described as located “right off Highway 31” in Williamson County, in the greater Nashville, Tennessee area, and as a source of local honey, country meats, and Southern-made goods.
