Buying Pecans...

The Pecan Shed starting buying pecans from the public on Monday October 18th. We started out paying $0.70 per pound and now we are paying $0.80 per pound.

All the pecans the Pecan Shed buys go either to a national shelling company or are shipped over to China. None of the pecans are retailed at the Pecan Shed (the pecans we retail come directly from the Montz Orchards in Charlie, TX).

In order to buy pecans, they must be new crop pecans, filled out well, have no leaves or any type of trash in them. We also cannot buy pecans that are cracked or shelled.

Buying pecans is based on a market price determined by many factors beyond the Pecan Shed's control. The price can also fluctuate day to day. It can either go up or down without warning.

If you would like to sell your pecans to the Pecan Shed you can bring them to the far right side of the building (look for the large red arrow). We are open 9am until 5pm Monday through Saturday.
