History
Fall is almost here and, as happens every year, I am getting excited as I anticipate the new shipping season. I look forward each Fall to hearing from the many of you who have ordered from us for lo these many years. I say a heartfelt "Greetings once again, and thanks." For those of you to whom Sunnyland is new, I want to tell you something about who we are and what we have to offer you. I hope you too will become an "old" friend. Sunnyland Farms mail order started in 1948 when members of my college alumnae club asked if we could supply them with pecans from Harry's family orchard for a fundraising project. We figured if they wanted fresh pecans direct from the orchard, other folks probably would too. So we put a couple of ads in magazines and sent out a letter to a list of people we hoped would want pecans. And they did! Sunnyland Farms mail order was up and running. More and more people began ordering our two products – Pecans in-the-shell and Mammoth Pecan Halves. So we added more selections. First Pecan Pieces and then Toasted Pecan Halves. We took the natural pecans home, toasted them in our oven and cooled them on the kitchen table (still a mighty good way to toast nuts). Harry died in 2004, but I with all the Sunnyland folks carry on his dedication to shipping only the finest products. We try to be sure every nut and fruit you get from Sunnyland is the brightest, freshest and tastiest you can find anywhere. We buy from growers who take the same loving care of their crops that we do of our pecans. We want to be sure everything you get is orchard-fresh and Sunnyland-good. I hope that we’ll hear from you soon and that we’ll be able to add to your pleasure these Holidays and year-round. Sincerely,
Jane
