We are now paying $1

As of today we are now paying $1.00 per pound.

We do buy pecans from the public and the process is very easy. We buy pecans Monday through Saturday 9am until 5pm. No appointment necessary. Take your pecans to the West end of the building (look for the big red arrow). Our store location is 1401 Midwestern Pkwy.

The pecans need to be new crop and well filled out. We cannot buy last year's pecans, pecans with the green or black hulls on them, or pecans with a lot of leaves, sticks, rocks or any kind of trash in them. They also cannot be wet.

We can only buy pecans in the shell. We cannot buy pecans that are cracked or shelled.

You can bring them in any container. We will weigh the pecans, then we will crack a few to check them, then we will pour the pecans in a hopper. If you bring them in a bucket, box, or something that weighs more than a pound, we will weigh the container back and subtract that weight from your total.

You then get paid for your pecans. Currently we are paying $1.00 per pound.

All the pecans we buy from the public are then sold to shelling companies or are shipped overseas. Therefore we must adhere to the standards set forth by these companies. We also buy based on a market so the price is subject to change without advance warning.
