As the leaves turn and the air cools, there's something special about this time of year. From early October through late December, it's harvest season across Georgia. At Ellis Bros. Pecans, that means one thing: the freshest pecans on the market are ready to go from our orchards straight to your table. For generations, our family has been growing and harvesting premium pecans in Vienna, Georgia. While pecans are delicious all year round, there’s no denying they become essential during the holidays—whether in a pie, on a charcuterie board, or straight from the bag.

Why Harvest Season Means Everything to Us

Harvest season is more than just a busy time at Ellis Bros. Pecans—it’s our time to shine. Each Fall, we carefully harvest our pecans at peak ripeness, ensuring they're bursting with fresh, natural flavor. Within days of coming off the tree, our pecans are cleaned, cracked, shelled, and packaged to preserve their quality. It’s that freshness that sets us apart. While many store-bought pecans sit in warehouses for months, ours are harvested and shipped in real time, giving you the best possible taste and texture. You’ll notice the difference from the first bite—sweet, rich, buttery pecans with just the right crunch.

We’re proud to say our pecans are some of the freshest you’ll find anywhere in the country, and our customers agree.

Fresh from Our Family Orchards, Straight to Your Table

There’s a reason our slogan is “We’re Nuts”—we’re absolutely passionate about what we grow. Ellis Bros. Pecans is still family-owned and operated, and we control every step of the process from the orchard to our carriers who bring them straight to your doorstep. When you order from us, you’re not just getting a product—you’re getting a taste of Georgia’s best, direct from the source. No middlemen, no long shelf lives, no mystery origins. Just fresh, premium pecans grown with care.

This farm-to-table commitment ensures that you’re receiving pecans that are fresher, more flavorful, and better for baking, gifting, or snacking.

Pecans Are Perfect for the Holidays

While pecans are a year-round delight, they take center stage during the holidays. From Thanksgiving to Christmas and into New Year’s, pecans bring warmth, comfort, and a touch of Southern charm to every celebration.

At Ellis Bros. Pecans, we see our products show up in all sorts of seasonal traditions:

• Classic Pecan Pie – No Southern holiday is complete without it.
• Candied Pecans for Stocking Stuffers – A sweet treat with homemade charm.
• Charcuterie Board Favorites – Add our roasted and flavored pecans for a festive touch.
• Pecan-Crusted Main Dishes – From ham to turkey to sweet potatoes.
• Holiday Baking Mixes & Gift Tins – Great for office parties or family gatherings.

If you’re planning your holiday cooking and want to make sure your ingredients are as good for your body as they are for your taste buds, it’s worth reviewing pecan nutritional information—you might be surprised just how beneficial these small nuts can be.

Pecans Pack a Healthy Punch, Too

Let’s be honest—the holidays are filled with indulgent treats. But here’s the good news: pecans are a healthy, nutrient-dense snack that fits into a balanced lifestyle. Pecans are rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats that support cardiovascular wellness. They’re packed with antioxidants—more than any other tree nut—which help fight inflammation and support overall health. On top of that, pecans provide essential nutrients like fiber, zinc, magnesium, and vitamin E, which contribute to immune support, energy levels, and skin health. Because they’re naturally low in sugar, they’re a smart and satisfying snack option during the indulgent holiday season.

When customers ask us about pecan nutritional information, we love sharing just how powerful these nuts are in supporting overall wellness. A single one-ounce serving offers about 3 grams of fiber and a boost of vitamins and minerals. Whether you enjoy them raw, roasted, or tossed into your favorite dishes, pecans are a wholesome addition to your holiday spread.
