A Texas Panhandle Favorite Is Opening A Dedicated Pecan Store In Amarillo

Were you lucky enough growing up to pick up pecans in your grandparents' backyard? There was something about picking up a pecan, cracking it, and eating the heart of it right off the tree. If you weren't lucky enough to have a pecan tree on your property, then buying pecans from the store was your only choice. Amarillo is about to have a great place to buy local pecans.

Gee Family Farm is bringing something to Amarillo this summer that you are going to love.  Gee Family Farm is familiar to many because of the Gee Family's Sweet Corn & Pumpkin Patch. Every year in the summer and fall, Gee has all sorts of fun activities.

What to Expect at the Gee Family Farm New Store

They announced on their Facebook page that they are getting ready to introduce something new, and it's all about pecans. There will now be a storefront, Shell's Sweet Pecans, located at 8320 East Farmers Avenue, dedicated to pecans. You'll be able to get fresh shelled pecans, candied pecans, and fresh ground cornmeal.

A Legacy Rooted in Hart, Texas

The Gee Family grows their own pecans in Hart, Texas. The Gee Family pecan orchard (formerly Hawkins Orchard) has been around for over 60 years. The Gee Family took over in 2021 and has been growing those yummy pecans that have become a favorite of many in the Amarillo area.

Why Choosing Local Matters in Amarillo

Get ready to add this new place to your favorite places to shop. Yes, you could go to your local grocery store and buy your pecans or corn there, but it's special to buy local.  When you buy local, you are supporting families right here in Amarillo who give back to the community.
