Trees bearing pecan nuts are classified as hickory, native to Southern US and Northern Mexico in North America. Pecan is extensively farmed, especially in Texas and Georgia, chiefly for its nuts. Texas, New Mexico, and Georgia together account for almost 80% of the global production of pecans. Pecan nuts are edible seeds that can be consumed as roasted pecans or even as raw pecans when fully ripe.
Hi! My name is Kristen Millican and I am so glad you have stopped by! Our family has been harvesting and selling pecans since 1888. I love sharing various pecan recipes, stories about life on our pecan farm, and so much more!
