John Boynton here!

I am proud to be the owner of Patriot Nutz, based in Aiken, South Carolina. Our business was founded on a love for our country, our community, and the belief that even something as simple as a bag of boiled peanuts can make a difference. Patriot Nutz is built around Southern tradition, quality, and giving back to those who have sacrificed for our freedoms.

We take pride in serving delicious, Southern-style boiled peanuts that bring family and friends together. Every batch is made with care, and every purchase helps support our mission of raising funds for local veterans. While Patriot Nutz is not veteran-owned, we are proudly veteran-focused and dedicated to honoring the men and women who have served our nation.

Giving back is at the heart of everything we do. We believe businesses have a responsibility to strengthen their communities, and supporting our local veterans is one of the most meaningful ways we can do that. Every order helps us continue that mission while sharing a Southern favorite with customers who appreciate great food and a great cause.

Why am I a Patriot?

To me, patriotism means honoring those who have defended our freedoms and doing my part to strengthen the community I call home. I believe that every person has the opportunity to make a positive impact, whether it’s through service, supporting veterans, or simply helping a neighbor. Patriot Nutz allows me to combine my passion for great Southern food with my commitment to giving back. Together, we can make a difference—one bag of boiled peanuts, one customer, and one act of gratitude at a time.
