Happy National Pecan Day

March 22 2024, by Lena Melentijevic

Each year, we dedicate one day to the celebration of the one nut native to the United States - the pecan. Its mild yet slightly sweet flavor and rich buttery texture make it a household favorite to be used in any dish, and these four Marketplace vendors know exactly how to hone its flavor. 

 Heaton Pecans

Heaton Pecans is a family-owned business that’s dedicated to their community and sharing their love of the highest quality pecans across the country. Their pecans are intentionally cared for from seedling to shipping and are roasted in small batches for premium flavor. From grove to your doorstep, Heaton pecans are all natural and boast that authentic Mississippi Delta flavor.

Georgia Grinder Pecan Butter

Georgia Grinders is a founder-led and family run business in Fort Valley, Georgia. Their one-of-a-kind pecan butter is a creamy, smooth, rich and buttery sensation, with a subtle sweetness naturally derived from this specific variety of pecans, making it an easy and tasty addition to your go-to brownie mix.

Treehouse Naturals Pecan Milk

Bess and Kate, the Atlanta-based founders of Treehouse Naturals, began making their own nut milks at home after being disappointed by the selection at their local grocery stores. This curiosity led to a pecanmilk that delivers quality, flavor, and sustainability, which are their brand pillars, now taking the South by storm.
