Choctaw pecans are here!

We just received a few sacks of the new crop of Choctaw pecans. We have them available in the shell and cracked. We hope to soon have them available shelled as well.

The Choctaw pecan is the largest pecan we retail. Known for its size and how easy it is to shell, this pecan is perfect for those who love to shell out pecans. The Choctaw is also very light in color which makes it a good pecan for baking.

Stop in soon to taste the Choctaw as well as the Pawnee and Cheyenne pecans to see which is your favorite.

New Crop Pieces

New Crop Pecan Pieces are now available at the Pecan Shed. We sell them in a one pound bag for $8.50 or a four pound bag for $31.95. These pieces are from the Pawnee pecans. They are mostly large in size with a few medium pieces mixed in.

This time of year we are always at the mercy of Tim when we will get pecan pieces. He is usually so busy with orders for pecan halves he does not like to stop to do pecan pieces.

Hurry in while we have them. This time of year with all the baking going on they tend to go fast!

Shelled Cheyenne...

Today we got in a few boxes of shelled Cheyenne. We were able to bag them all up in order to offer them in a one pound bag for $8.50 or a four pound bag for $31.95.

Cheyenne pecans are great for baking. They are light in color and make wonderful toppings and keep pie fillings bright in color.

The Cheyenne is a smaller pecan but it very popular. Come in today and taste to see which is your favorite pecan.

Blustery Day...

Growing up I used to watch Winnie the Pooh and at times the 100 Acre Woods would have quite the "blustery day" according to Pooh Bear.

These last few days have been very blustery. The wind is supposed to get over 20 mph at times today.

All this is good for pecans. Cool air and wind are needed to help the pecans fall from the trees.

In our orchards in Charlie we have shaking equipment that we use during the harvesting process but most people do not have such a thing so they rely on Mother Nature to do the "shaking".

Right now we are buying pecans for $0.80 per pound. This is always subject to change but as of today that is the current price.

We also crack pecans for the public. The charge for this is $0.40 per pound.

T-T-F-N...Ta Ta For Now!

Wichita County Pecan Show

Wichita County will once again be hosting a Pecan Show. The date is Saturday, November 20th at the MPEC beginning at 1pm. If you would like to have your pecans judged and in the show you need to have your entry in by Friday, November 12th at 5pm at the County Extension Office located at 600 Scott Street on the 2nd Floor. For more information, rules, and entry submission details contact Fred Hall at 940-716-8610.

There will also be a Pecan Seminar on the morning of November 20th. The seminar is from 10am until 12pm. Registration is at 9:30am. The seminar is free unless you would like to get 2 IPM CEUs then the cost will be $10.00. Again, contact Fred Hall for more information.

This is great opportunity for anyone who would like to see all kinds of pecans or who would like to have their pecans judged to see how they rank. It is also a chance for you to have an expert tell you what kind of pecans you have if you are unsure. I hope everyone will take this great opportunity that we have once again. It has been several years since we have had a pecan show and I think it is great that Fred Hall has worked so hard to put this together. Let's all go out and show our support and interest!

The Fudge Flavor of the Month for November is...

...Cranberry Nut Fudge! We actually had it available a few days ago and so far the response has been great.

We had lots of request last season for this fudge and we decided to give it a try. With its unique flavor and bright pink color...Cranberry Nut is quite the fudge flavor.

Stop in today for a taste! We sell it by the piece or by the pan. Right now we are running a special on our fudge...you can get 6 pieces of fudge...all one flavor or a mixture...for $15.00 total (tax and all). That is about a pound and half of fudge...what a deal!
