The sweet harvest of Central Texas' autumn is the (pardon the expression) meat of this nut and candy family business located in nearby Cedar Creek as well as in a new retail outlet just west of Bastrop. Shelled pecans, cracked pecans, in-shell pecans, roasted pecans, cinnamon sugar pecans, and even jalapeño flavored pecans! I feel like I'm in an Austin version of Forrest Gump; instead of shrimp possibilities, though, it's all the ways to eat pecans. The family business has expanded into candies, but only those that complement the ubiquitous pecans. A very friendly catalog and business.
