PRE-ORDER INFORMATION-PECANS

NEW CROP FALL 2020 PECANS:  

Note:  We do have very good pecans from the current 2019 season in and on the shelves now.  The information below is for the crop that will be for THIS COMING OCTOBER-FALL of 2020.

Because our pecans are SO good, and in such demand all during the season, we take pre-orders for them.  At the store, this helps us to know who is coming for large amounts, it enables us to pick up more pecans when they are first starting to be available, it keeps our shelves from being wiped out, and it also secures them for you,  so you have them when you need them.  Pecan season in the fall is an exciting time and very busy!   See our Fall 2020 SPECIAL.

NEW CROP PECANS generally become available on the shelf around the 2nd weekend of October.   They WILL BE the PAWNEE variety as it is the early variety.   They are a large, meaty, tasty (papershell) pecan with a good oil content and they are one of the top favorites!  We carry them both IN THE SHELL and already shelled.   During the season, we will switch to other varietals, one at a time, after the Pawnee is gone.  Though size occasionally varies, they are all chosen for taste & freshness.

If you pre-order pecans for SHIPPING, we will START our shipping Monday, October 19th, 2020.  We will pull the orders for pickup/ship the orders in the order they are received.  If you want them early, please order early.  We get VERY busy and once the season kicks in,  shipping times will take a bit longer because of demand.

A note on ordering: we have worked hard to try to make ordering easier and have fair shipping rates.   When ordering pecans you will have several options.  #1:  If ordering PECANS for pickup, use the product item that says PICKUP, if ordering  PECANS to be SHIPPED, use the product item that says SHIPPING.   There IS an item for those wanting both PECAN HALVES & PIECES.  # 2:  If ordering for SHIPPING, when do you want them?  Are you ordering for ASAP?  Are they being ordered now but as a gift for Thanksgiving or Christmas?    #3:  If you are ordering multiple bags of pecans for shipping (as a lot of our customers do), PLEASE USE the DROP DOWN MENU.  You will be charged for the additional bags with a little extra added for shipping as opposed to having a flat rate shipping fee doubled because you doubled your order.  Also, order them in the size bags you would like.  If you want your order to come in all 1 lb. bags, please order them that way.  It is the same price to get them in 1 Lb. Bags and it often makes them easier to store/find room in the freezer.

Ordering and Pre-ordering (of FALL pecans, for pickup or shipping) can be done anytime but the fulfillment of the orders will be in THE FALL, when the  NEW CROP is in and ready.

We had another very successful year of selling tamales. They are a very big part of holiday traditions here in Texas and we thought they would go hand in hand with our products and all the holiday entertaining that happens.  They were VERY well received & those who ordered, came back from  more.   The tamales we will carry again this fall are made by the good folks at Delicious Tamales in San Antonio, Texas.  They ARE delicious and are made fresh daily.  We will carry 7 different kinds, they are sold by the dozen and  they will come vacuum packed.  They can be readily eaten or frozen for later use .

After Thanksgiving, and closer to Christmas, I hope to be able to stock them at our store location.  If they are NOT pre-ordered, it will be first come, first serve.  

TAMALE VARIETIES:  The varieties available are:  Regular Pork (traditional, made with red chili masa), Jalapeno-Pork (mildly spicy, white masa), Regular Chicken, Jalapeno-Chicken (mildy spicy), Jalapeno & Cheese (not vegetarian because of the lard used), Bean & Jalapeno (not vegetarian because of the lard used), and Southwest Vegetarian (vegetarian, made with canola oil, black beans, bell peppers, cilantro & spices.)    

We know everyone has their own idea of what makes a good tamale.  We think these are GREAT and we have had a very good response to them.  The tamales shown in the above picture are chicken & jalapeno.  YUMM!

Chocolate and candy-coated pecans make a GREAT, easy to give, lovely-to receive holiday gifts. They can be handed out at the office, they made awesome teacher & hostess gifts, and they are great to have on hand.  Though we are not the maker of these candies, they are a big seller.  Because they make such good gifts, they are often bought in large amounts and and it is hard to keep our shelves full.  We offer the pre-order option on these so you can make sure you have them when you need them.   When candy is in, we will pull your candies and set them aside.  It is always helpful to us to know that someone is coming for 25 bags of chocolate pecans.   With a pre-order, we can have them ready for you as well and it won't wipe out the shelves.

Candy coated pecans can be ordered for IN-STORE PICKUP or for SHIPPING.  You will be called when your order is ready for pickup.  Any chocolate ordered will be sent when the weather is cooperating and cooler.
