Pecans are one of the best shelled foods one can eat and enjoy. Pecan trees grow wild in many areas of the country, but the best pecans are cultivated in orchards laid out in the sunniest country to be found in America. Growing in rich soils, with an ideal climate, the product is as tasty as any pecan to be found from any grower or in the wild.
The pecans grown throughout the Santa Cruz Valley in Arizona are especially scrumptious. Farmers who had begun by cultivating cotton in the region found prospects for their market share diminishing in the late 1940s with the increasing introduction of clothing made from synthetic fibers. Being men of vision, they soon switched over to cultivating pecans as a delicacy, knowing there would always be a market in that direction. The supposition paid off handsomely especially for the owners of the Continental Farm in Sahuarta, AZ. Pecans were ideal for growth in the desert climate. Cultivation proved easy, and the rest is history.
Pecans are sought worldwide by a wide variety of food retailers and supermarkets, bakers and confectioners, and specialty food and desert sellers.
