Heritage & Environment

At Missouri Northern Pecan Growers, we are all about bringing you the most authentic, environmentally sustainable and healthy pecan products. Our pecans and pecan oil come from local native pecan trees that grow wild in the flood plains of the rivers and streams in Southwest Missouri. No chemicals are used in growing our pecans or in processing this delicious oil.

Our pecans come from trees that were not planted by man, but have grown wild in riparian flood plains. Our pecans groves serve to prevent soil erosion and retain sediments from the flood waters. These areas are critical to wildlife and migrating waterfowl. The pecan is unique in its ability to be environmentally sustainable while also providing a sustainable crop for family farmers.

For us, sustainability does not stop at the grove. Missouri Northern Pecan Growers has invested in a large solar system that supplies most of our electrical needs. We also burn pecan shell in custom built boilers to heat the water and dryers used to process all our pecans. Our paper waste is recycled and we strive for zero landfill usage.
