I'm a Virginia native and still live in Washington, DC close to northern Virginia, where I grew up.  There are traditional Virginia products that I've always enjoyed like ham, peanuts, and beer. When I set out to write this post, however, I was excited to find products I never even knew were produced in Virginia! Here are the best made in Virginia products I found.

Things We Love, Made in Virginia

Hudson Henry Baking Co. Granola

The Hudson Henry Baking Co. makes exceptionally flavorful small-batch, handcrafted granola in Palmyra, Virginia. The ingredients include non-GMO project certified natural, whole foods you'll recognize like rolled oats, pumpkin seeds, cashews, almonds, organic unsweetened flake coconut, real maple syrup, organic coconut oil, brown sugar, vanilla, a dash of cinnamon, and a really important bit of sea salt which make up the Cashews & Coconut Granola. Don't just take my word for it. The Hudson Henry Baking Co. has been awarded four sofi awards – Gold sofi for its Maple, Pecans and Coconut granola, and Silver sofi for its Cashews & Coconut granola. The sofi Awards are like the Oscars of the food industry.

The Hudson Henry Baking Co. is a Woman-Owned Business and started in 2012. The company's founder, Hope Lawrence. Her mission beyond the company is an admirable one -.

Blue Crab Bay Co. Peanuts

Blue Crab Bay Co. uses Virginia grown peanuts to make Skipjacks, the best-flavored peanuts you'll ever taste. These peanuts are spicy honey roasted gourmet peanuts. Even though I'm a Virginia native, I don't have a real affinity for peanuts. But I can tell you that the sea salt peanuts from Blue Crab Bay are the best peanuts I've ever had. They are boiled, not roasted, and salted with sea salt, not iodized salt, and you can taste the difference! They are perfect for snacking or to have on hand when entertaining. You'll be supporting Virginia peanut farmers every time you make a purchase.

Cirrus Vodka

Where do I start with explaining my love for Cirrus Vodka? The first time I enjoyed it was out at a restaurant, The Hamilton, in Washington, DC that only uses craft spirits from the States. After drinking their version of the Mule, I was hooked. All I could taste from the vodka was smoothness, with no “alcohol-like” aftertaste. The vodka is triple distilled to perfection.

Bone Doctors' BBQ Sauce

If you are searching for an all-natural barbecue sauce, Bone Doctors' is it. If you are searching for a gluten-free barbecue sauce, here it is. Bone Doctors' make different kinds of barbecue sauce with no corn syrup, artificial flavors, or preservatives, and you can taste the difference. The Carolina Bold BBQ sauce is my favorite because its vinegar base makes it tangy, while the spices make the meat tender and flavorful. It's made with clean ingredients including apple cider vinegar, spices, sugar, kosher salt, paprika, chili powder, garlic, onion, and xanthan gum, making it a gluten-free BBQ sauce without artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives.
