October 2023 update
Dec 2016 - we didn't shell a single pecan from the Oklahoma City area because of the bad ice storm the previous year.
Dec 2017 - we shelled approximately 10% of what we shelled in 2015.
Dec 2018 - we didn't shell a single pecan from the Oklahoma City area because we skipped spring, stressing the trees.
Dec 2019 - we finally had our first good crop in 4 years shelling close to 5000 lbs.  Thank you, Oklahoma City!
Dec 2020 - we missed updating the site for 2020 as Oklahoma City had almost no pecans at all. We ended up shelling only 300 lbs of pecans that seaons, and all of those from outside of OKC.
Dec 2021 - we shelled 780 lbs last year, and (again) virtually all of those were from outside of the OKC area.
Dec 2022 - my dad's tree is almost always a good indicator of the crop across OKC, and if that is true again this year, then once again, OKC may have virtually no pecans. We are happy to shell them from where ever they come!
Nov 2023 - my dad's tree is almost always a good indicator of the crop across OKC, and if that is true again this year, then OKC FINALLY has a GOOD crop for the first time in 4 years! We look forward to a great year of shelling your pecans!

Helpful Hint

Pecans that are too wet sometimes do not separate well from the shell. So, in order to get the most from your pecan shelling, the nuts should be dry. Also, older nuts from a previous season may be too dry and not separate well from the shell.

Pecan Cracking and Shelling (or Blowing)
We process your pecans in basically 2 steps:

Cracking: The pecans are put into a machine that cracks the outer shell (ideally). Our machine is from the Pecan Nut Busters company out of Florida and runs off of 110 volt using an adjustable drum which uses compression to crack the pecans.

Shelling: A commercial “blower” then separates the meats from the shell. Air is channeled through chamber where the pecan meat/shell mixture is passed, dropping the meat and larger/heavier shells through the initial chute and blowing the smaller/lighter shells into the second chute. Our blower typically blows out approximately 30% of your original weight in shells for Paper Shell pecans.

This machine works best on the Paper Shell pecans.  Our machine cracks pecans based on compression cracking which can produce more pieces than impact cracking.  We have found that Native pecans do not shell as well and produce fewer halves than it does for the Paper Shells.  We are very willing to run a sample of your pecans through our machine at no cost to allow you to decide whether you want us to shell your pecans.  We also have samples of shelled pecans in our office so that you can see how other pecans have shelled in our machine.
