Harvest Demo at the GPGA 2019 Fall Field Day
Have you ever seen a harvest like this?
Yesterday at the Georgia Pecan Growers Association, Inc Annual Fall Field Day, King Springs Pecans showed how their crew harvests using the Catchall from Orchard Machinery Corporation - OMC. One of the owners of King Springs Pecans, Paul Quiros, said that using this equipment, they're able to harvest 10 acres in one hour and 50 acres a day.
We’re out exploring orchards in South Georgia that were affected by #HurricaneMichael. Join us live at our first stop, Sunnyland Farms in Albany.
Featured on the June cover, Cinco B Farm sits in Burton, Texas and has about 630 trees. Growers Pat and Marguerite Baggett started the orchard in 1991 by planting 80 trees by themselves. At the time, they didn’t know anything about pecans. They didn’t have a house but lived in the barn. They didn’t even have hot water. Pat Baggett says, “We had a hot plate, toilet and sink. And that was it.” Today, the Baggetts have transformed their property into a little paradise and still do most of the work on the orchard by themselves.
Inside "The Not Pie Shop"
American Pecans made their debut at The Not Pie Shop on April 25, a one-day pop-up shop that featured cooking demos from Lexi's Clean Kitchen and Naturally Ella, samples of nutritious #pecan apps, and a trail mix bar. And now, three weeks later, the #OriginalSupernut is still making waves.
This #ThrowbackThursday we bring you back inside The Not Pie Shop to hear from industry members who attended the event and to see an industry perspective of the launch. #TBT #ICYMI
Here’s a sneak peek inside American Pecans’s The Not Pie Shop, where Lexi with Lexi's Clean Kitchen shows us how to make her #pecan popcorn chicken. #NotJustPie
The American Pecan
On the last day of the TPGA conference, Weber Shandwick shared this video that its team made after their first immersion tour out in West Texas and New Mexico. Apparently, the team was so excited by the footage they captured and the things they learned that they wanted to make this video immediately. Here's to The American Pecan!
