They offer a lot of great specials on meat, chicken, cereal and so much more. I love that they sell the best cole slaw and few items from my childhood. I recommend if you're ever in Gaston and don't want to go to the grocery store, to check out Gaston Food Mart.

There are barns and outbuildings around the store and a porch that beckons you to the country charm of this place! And yes, we took the token touristy photo of the peanut head! We couldn't resist! We were warmly greeted by the ladies in the shop and we commenced gathering our nutty selections! We purchased a ton of peanut items: a big bag of unsalted peanuts, butter toasted coated pecans, a can of salted peanuts, some smoked ham slices, a bottle of bbq sauce, a funny squishy stress peanut and some other gifts! We wanted some chocolate covered nuts too but we were traveling and it was hot as the dickens and didn't want them to melt! Next time! We had a great time checking out all the jams, jellies, condiments, pickles, nut butters, the ornaments and other items in the shop! Then we headed out to the car! I said, boy I wish the had peanut brittle! And my brother said, they did have some! So I went right back in and bought a couple of containers of the brittle! Mmmm! We opened one right away and this was the best peanut brittle we ever had! Light and airy and crunchy and buttery, not too hard. Our teeth were thankful for that! Go on and get you some! You won't be sorry! This is peanut country after all. And no, Skippy peanut butter wasn't named for this town, but it could have been!

The moment we walked in, we were greeted by the warm, savory aroma of freshly boiled peanuts and an incredibly friendly lady who made us feel right at home. We browsed around and left with two cups of boiled peanuts, 2 lbs of raw peanuts (to make my own), and a can of butter toasted pecans. The shop is full of goodies, including local honey, trail mixes, and all kinds of flavored pecans and peanuts--perfect for snacks or gifts. What really made this place stand out, though, was what I discovered on their website. The history of the Good Earth Peanut Company and the family behind it is genuinely fascinating. Whether you visit first or just want to learn more before you go, definitely take a moment to read their story--it adds so much heart to the experience.

Small service station and convenience store with lunch items available. Typical small town gas…read morestation. Not terribly nicely done inside (it has probably been the same for 20 or more years) but it is usually clean. Small eating area inside on left past register. Lunch offerings include hot dogs and hamburgers, smoked sausages, and crispy chicken sandwiches (depending on what they happen to have available on any given day) among other items. Popular place for hunters to gather for lunch during hunting season. They also have large refrigerator cases in the back with fresh farm eggs, fresh sausage, side meat, and sometimes fresh chickens. They have small candy (double bubble gum, blowpops, etc) for just a few cents that the kids love. To get a candy bar (like a Snickers), you have to ask at the register because it is all kept behind the counter.
