National Georgia Pecan Month

National Georgia Pecan Month is observed throughout November to herald the Georgia pecan harvest and recognize the state’s status as a leading pecan-producing state. Chase’s Calendar of Events, as quoted by Ann Arbor.com describes the month as a celebration of the harvest and Georgia’s contribution to the nation’s pecan supply.

November also coincides with Georgia’s pecan season. The outer shuck typically begins splitting in mid-October, and harvesting continues through November, although the exact timing varies by variety, weather, and soil conditions. Augusta Good News reports that the Georgia Pecan Commission recognizes the month as a way to honor pecan farmers, harvesters, and the nut’s place in the state’s agricultural identity.

The Georgia Pecans website documented the observance with a monthlong series in 2014, sharing information about pecan history and harvesting, recipes, and facts about Georgia’s pecan industry. Pecans may be enjoyed in familiar treats such as pies, pralines, and snack nuts, or in less traditional dishes. The month is a chance to learn about the harvest and enjoy the versatility of Georgia-grown pecans.
