Best Place to order Pecans

Just Bling · ‎03-10-2010

I read the new crop isn't ready yet...not sure if that's true as of today but where is the best place to order fresh Georgia Pecans.

Georgia does have the best pecans correct?????

Any help would be appreciated.

We used to have a truck come around with fruit and nuts and I haven't seen them for at least a couple years.

I don't know a lot about pecans, but I follow "Cooking with Brenda Gantt" on FB, and she is constantly pitching "Preister's Pecans" (not sure if I spelled that right), which she loves and eats all the time, adds to her recipes etc.

I went online...they have all different types of flavors, and look good. Pricey, but all nuts are, everywhere.

oh yes, we get their catalogs in the mail during the holidays, but have never tried them @amyb .

i have had good luck with getting them from PITTMAN AND DAVIS and NUTS.COM online OR from THE FRESH MARKET if you have one close by to shop in person.

Maybe I'm not enough of a pecan connoisseur. I get my big bag of pecan halves at Costco. 🤷‍♀️

I hope some GA posters chime in!

All I know is to look for "new crop" but vendors or growers? No idea. 🤔

I DO live 2 min. from a FRESH MKT...I actually buy their loose pecans (they box them up since Covid, so no one is digging for them anymore)...but which brand is there above...Pittman and Davis? or Nuts.com?? Tks.

Sorry, OKLAHOMA has the best pecans. And the best of the best are the small native pecans. They are not soft and sort of spongy like a lot of the hybred choices you find.

I know there is a place south of Oklahoma City called Mason's nuts but there lots of others.

I haven't heard how good the crops are here this year. November is good pecan pickin' time.
