What's the Fuss about Farm Fresh?

For us, “farm fresh” is so much more than a trendy phrase we use to describe ourselves. Farm fresh defines who we are. Being one of the only U.S. pecan producers to take pecans all the way from the tree to the table, we have an uncommonly close relationship with the claim “farm fresh”. 

We understand, firsthand, the amount of effort that goes into producing wholesome, safe and healthy food, and that is a labor we accept humbly. But you may be wondering what the fuss is all about with farm fresh. What does that phrase really mean? Is there a difference in farm fresh pecans and store-bought pecans? 

Well, since you’re asking,  these are the huge differences between farm fresh pecans and store-bought pecans we can speak to first-hand.  

Flavor

It’s the subtle sweetness of nature that calls our pecans home that you just don’t get in store-bought pecans. Run away from the appetite-stealing bitter aftertaste that often comes with store-bought pecans and grab a delicious handful of nature’s little gems.

Color

Naturally, pecans are a golden amber color. Next time you reach for pecans off of the shelf, note the color. If the store-bought pecans are dark and discolored, keep on walking. Instead, reach for the naturally sun-like glow worn by farm fresh pecans.

Freshness

Because of the high level of essential oils naturally found in pecans, farm fresh pecans are not a shelf-stable product. When not kept in a cold environment, farm fresh pecans go rancid. To be shelf-stable, pecans are often preserved with chemicals or a special form of preparation to keep the pecans from molding. So the next time you reach for a pouch of pecans in the baking aisle at the grocery store, take a look at the expiration date. If it is more than 2 months, something has been done to change the natural integrity of the nut. Pass on those store-bought pecans and instead experience the one-of a kind freshness of farm fresh pecans.
