“Life of a Southern Farmer: Pecans”

Georgia’s pecans are known to be the best in the nation. According to Georgia Pecans, “There are over 500 varieties of pecans, of which only three are common: Georgia produces all three varieties and leads the nation in pecan production, averaging 88 million pounds each year.” They add a rich flavor and hint of crunchiness to every dish they come into contact with. I personally, do not like pecans.

However, the rest of my family adores them. My grandmother has a pecan tree in her back yard, and when fall rolls around she makes all of us grandchildren pick up the fallen pecans. She can begin to make her world famous pies.
