Store bought pecans suck. The last few times I bought some, they already tasted stale when I opened the package. So I searched around for a local or nearby pecan grower and found one about an hour away. We bought them unshelled cause they were cheaper that way, and these pecans were so much better and tasted fresh! Well worth the trip. I love, love, love pecans and I eat some every day, so getting some good ones is a big deal to me. My little pecan trees that I have planted are just not ready yet, so until they are, I will support this small company. #grownosyr #local
