Note

Pecans - Great for Snacking, Baking, and More

Pecans are nutritious and useful for so much more than pies! Roasted pecans are excellent on their own or as part of a trail mix. Pecans can also be incorporated into a sauce, batter, stir fry, or other dish.

Nothing’s better on a warm summer day than Butter Pecan Ice Cream, unless it’s ice cream that you make with fresh ingredients from Glenda’s Farmhouse. Our catalog includes everything from pecans to walnuts, cashews, hazelnuts, almonds, various sea salts, walnut crumbles, almond flour, and more.
