2012 New Crop Pecans Are Here

The 2012 harvest is under way! Dad recently brought me in some of the New Crop Pawnee Pecans. Currently they are available in the shell and cracked. (Shelled pecans are still a few days away though.)

We have Pawnee pecans available in the shell in 5 pound bags for $19.75. We also have them cracked in 5 pound bags for $21.75.

If you need 100 pounds or more our wholesale pricing is $3.00 per pound for in the shell and $3.40 per pound for 100 pounds or more of cracked pecans.

Our other pecans such as the Wichita, Cheyenne, and Choctaw pecans will be coming off soon and should be available at the Pecan Shed within a month or so.

Remember we do crack pecans for the public for $0.40 per pound. So if your pecans have already started falling we would be happy to crack them for you. Please make sure all your pecans are dry and that no rocks, sticks, anything other than pecans are in your bags. Our machines can be damaged by such debris.

We have been getting a lot of calls about when we will start buying pecans. The first day we will buy pecans will be Friday, Oct. 26th. However, we will not know the price we will be paying until then. All the pecans we buy are shipped to shelling companies (none are sold through our retail store). Therefore, they must meet the requirements set by the shelling company. Pecans must be new crop, well filled out, and dry. The pecans cannot be cracked or have broken shells and they cannot have the green or black outer hull on them. When you sell pecans we will not accept them if there is a lot of sticks,rocks, leaves, or other debris in the containers with the pecans.

We are open Monday through Saturday 9am until 5pm (unless otherwise posted due to holidays or other events).
