Sustainable Farming Partnerships
Texas Pecan Company works closely with orchards practicing integrated pest management and careful water use. These partnerships help maintain long-term yields and support rural communities across the state.
Harvesting and Curing Practices
Most nuts are harvested in autumn using shaker equipment, then windrowed to dry. Controlled curing minimizes kernel discoloration and reduces the risk of aflatoxin, preserving flavor and shelf life.
Product Quality Standards
Each batch is inspected for size, shell integrity, and off-flavors before packaging. Grading aligns with USDA standards, with clear labeling for kernel percentage and variety specifics.
Traceability and Food Safety
Lot tracking from orchard to customer allows quick responses to any food safety queries. Regular third-party audits verify sanitation procedures, storage temperatures, and handling protocols.
Ordering and Storage Guidance
- Check seasonal availability for specific varieties and order early for holiday demand.
- Review packaging options for retail display versus bulk foodservice needs.
- Store pecans in cool, dry conditions and inspect periodically for freshness.
- Contact support for custom blends, private label requests, or large-volume pricing.
