Pecan Fundraiser


So now we've got local, in-the-shell pecans grown without synthetic chemicals or fertilizers.  We're getting them through one of our coop farmers.  One advantage of in the whole pecans is increased shelf life compared to their "naked" counterparts.  They are great right out of the shell as snacks, in baking, and even as a shelf stable protein for emergency food storage situations.  Pecans are $10 a pound, 5 pounds for $40, or 10 pounds for $60.  

Payments will be taken the same as before; either through the "Donate" button on the blog, or by cash or check at pickup.  

If paying online via the "Donate" button at the upper right hand corner of this blog, click the paypal link (on the payment page) that says, "Add special instructions to recipient". Please give your name and email address, specify the number of pounds you would like, and include the pickup time you prefer.

If you wish to pay cash at pickup, send me an email, Facebook message, text, or blog comment with your name and email address, the number of pounds you would like, and the pickup time you prefer.

I will send an email  confirming your order to the email address I receive with your order.  Pecans will be available for pickup at my house between 4-6pm Thursday, Janury 31 and between 12:30-1:30pm in the Frisco Hobby Lobby parking lot on Preston Rd, Sunday, February 3rd.  If we know eachother, and none of these times work for you, let me know and we'll work out a more convenient pickup time.   I can even arrange porch pickups at your convenience.  

There is also an option to donate honey to a local food bank.  Just pay online and specify your desire to donate under the "Add special instructions to recipient" tab where you give your contact information.  I will deliver the nuts.  

Order deadline is Thursday, January 17th at noon.  Let me know if you have any questions.
