Picard's Original

Excellence in every bite from Ontario's original choice for freshly roasted peanuts, delicious and unique snacks and Swiss style chocolate confectionery specialities. 

For more than three decades, families and friends have come from miles around for the fresh roasted peanuts and specialty confectionery products at the Original Picard’s retail outlets. The home of the Canadian peanuts, Picard’s is owned and operated by the remaining Picard family members, John & sister Renee, who have been with the business since inception. The unique products were created by John Picard to add a diversity of products starting with Ontario peanuts and then to value-enhanced snack products. In the following years, unique products made with the finest chocolates, unique snacks like our "Crispy Potato Chip Covered Peanuts" and now our farm fresh Kettle Chips are all unique to Picard’s and are only found in the Original Picard’s stores – St.Jacobs, Talbotville, Waterdown, Niagara-on-the-Lake and Waterford. We process over a half-million pounds of quality Jumbo Cocktail, Extra Fancy Virginia, Spanish, Ontario grown Valencia peanuts and other specialty nuts.
