Congratulations Hannah!

Being a small family business we have relied on family, friends, and college students to staff our store during our busiest time of year which is October through December.

Over three years ago we attended MSU's Part-time Job Fair and we were lucky to find two really good girls to come and work for us...one of those girls was Hannah.

Lots of college students only work a season or two but both girls have been special and have stayed on year round since the day they started working here.

I am proud and a little sad to say that Hannah will be graduating tomorrow with her Nursing Degree. I am so proud of how Hannah has persevered and kept up through all the pressure that went along with her degree. I have no doubt she will be an excellent nurse (although, if you get her, double check her numbers before she gives you medicine...just kidding Hannah).

I am sad to see her leave the Pecan Shed. We all become family around here. We know each other (perhaps we know TOO MUCH about each other), we care for each other, and most of all, we are all good friends.

I have a great staff and it is times like these that remind me how wonderful my staff is. Tonight at Hannah's "Pinning Ceremony" I have no doubt I will cry...tears of joy for my friend...and tears of sadness for myself.

To Hannah...(who is one of the few people I know who reads this blog...)
Congratulations Hannah! You are such a good employee (our computers will probably all become overwhelmed with viruses when you leave...or we will delete every customer record we have), you are an amazing person, you will be a great nurse, and you are a true friend. I have enjoyed getting to know. I will always remember our times bowling, the day I "fired" you, and many, many more things that I don't care to put into print for all eternity.

Just know I will miss you greatly!

Christmas Trees

The Pecan Shed now has Christmas Tree molds filled with our delicious Homemade fudge in either Plain Chocolate or Chocolate Pecan. We can also do Sucrose Free Fudge but you will need to place an order for that.

These trees hold almost one pound of fudge and are perfect gifts for friends, family, teachers, the postman, or the UPS Driver who is busy delivering all the other great gifts you have been ordering this holiday season. (Bryan Cash happens to be our great UPS Driver and he has been working extra hard this time of year with all the Christmas packages our customers have been ordering...thanks for doing such a great job Bryan!)

These fudge filled Christmas trees are $12.95 each. Stop by soon and pick one up today.

NEW!!! Chocolate Amaretto Pecans

Just arrived we now have Chocolate Amaretto Pecans available in a 5 ounce box for $6.95. These delicious pecans will just be available for a limited time so hurry in for yours today.

They make great gifts for teachers and are perfect as stocking stuffers!

We are open 9am until 5pm Monday through Saturday.

Supplies are limited so hurry in soon!

Christmas Delivery...

If you want to guarantee those on your Christmas list will get their pecans, fudge, or other holiday gifts in time for Christmas we recommend you have your packages shipped off no later than December 15th. Of course, the earlier the better!

We ship anywhere within the continental United States. We do so via UPS Ground Service. We will ship any of our products except we do not ship glass.

Texas pecans and homemade fudge are great gift ideas for family and friends. We also have our holiday tins that hold up to two pounds of candied pecans in them.

Remember our "Fudge of the Month Club"! What a great gift that keeps on giving for months after the holiday season.

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.
