What Pecan Nation, Llc does

Pecan Nation, LLC is a privately held, fifth-generation Georgia pecan farming and branded snack-food company headquartered in Fort Valley, Georgia. The company controls family-owned orchards spanning over 7,000 acres (including 100-year-old producing trees and 40+ pecan varieties) and applies a proprietary end-to-end farming and processing methodology — from planting and cultivation through cleaning, drying to 4% moisture, cracking, shelling, and bagging — focused on four signature varieties (Schley, Farley, Elliot, Desirable) selected for flavor and texture.

Its commercial product portfolio consists of six flavored pecan SKUs (Natural, Cinnamon, Maple, Honey Roasted, Roasted & Salted, Barbecue) available in sizes from 2.25 oz to 32 oz, plus a 2026-launched 'All Mix'd Up' snack-mix sub-brand with three functional SKUs (Protein Mix, Energy Mix, Heart Healthy Mix). Products carry American Heart Association Heart-Check, Kosher, Non-GMO, and Gluten-Free certifications, and retail at price points between approximately $13.25 and $35.

The business operates a hybrid direct-to-consumer and omnichannel distribution model: DTC e-commerce through thepecannation.com with free shipping over $50, presence on Amazon and Walmart.com, and over 255 retail partner locations nationwide across grocery, convenience (including 7-11), and mass channels. The company sells directly to health-conscious consumers, snack enthusiasts, and gift/baking-ingredient buyers, with no disclosed institutional investment and an 11-50 employee organization.
