From our Family to Yours

2007

Kyle grew up with farming in his blood.  His father, grandfather and great-grandfather were all farmers.  I'm sure it goes back farther than that, but these are the ones we know of that were involved in pecans.  So, you see Kyle really is fourth generation nuts!!

We are located in Southeast Georgia.  Reidsville is our home and the actual Durden Pecan Co. plant is in Metter. We live in Kyle's Great Grandfather's homeplace in the middle of a pecan orchard, no doubt!! We remodeled and added on to it in 1997.

Vidalia onions, green peanuts for boiling, sweet potatoes, corn, wheat, soybeans are just a few of the crops grown in our area.  Beef, chicken and pork are also thriving industries here. 

We started a very small mail order business back in October of 1992.  I couldn't believe how much it cost to put a small classified ad in Southern Living Magazine!!  And it amazed me more at the number of contacts we made through that one little ad! 

Our business has grown steadily over the past fifteen years with very loyal customers.  Once someone tries our nuts, they tend to stick with us because of the quality of our product. Many of our clients have become like family.  Every October, November and December, I get to talk to them and catch up with what they have been doing through out the year.

Many ask about our children; we have always put a picture of them in our flyers.  I think some of our customers look forward to seeing how they have grown.

Bethany is now 11 years old and in the 6th grade. She is really interested in acting and singing. Last summer she was able to be part of a Disney's High School Musical stage production in Statesboro , GA with Tony Phillips. It was a lot of work, but she had a blast. She is also playing soccer and taking piano lessons.

Bailey is now 9 and in the 3rd grade. She is really into art—constantly drawing something. She is taking lessons this year for the first time, so who knows what she might be doing next!! She is also taking piano and playing soccer. She is my “helper” child; always willing to lend a hand. She is also the comedian of the family; always keeping us in a stitch.

Brynn is 7 and in the 2nd grade. She started taking piano this year and is already more than half way through her first book! She is also playing soccer.
