How do I request to have my pecans shelled?

How much does it cost to have my pecans shelled?

The starting price for shelling is $1.25 per pound based on the initial weight before processing. The price of shelling can increase depending on the services requested. The $1.25 price does not include pecan cleaning and packaging.

How should I prep my pecans before bringing them to be shelled?

Before shelling all pecans must be cleared of sticks and leaves, and the outer husk must be removed. Failure to remove debris may be subject to additional fees/charges. Please check that NO rocks are mixed with your pecans as they can damage/break our machine. Keep your whole pecans in breathable bags to avoid mold growth before shelling.

In what condition will my pecans be returned once they are shelled?

Our shelling machine will leave you with mostly pure halves. Pecans may contain some bits of shell and shell dust. Cleaning and packaging are provided upon request for an additional fee.

How long will it take to shell my pecans?

Pecans can be shelled on the same day or while you wait. Cleaned and packaged pecans will require a few extra days.

Can I have my pecans cleaned and packaged once they are shelled?

You can have your pecans cleaned and packaged for an additional fee.

The cleaning and packaging process will require a few extra days because the pecans need to be completely dried before they can be packaged.
