Sorry for the delay in response everyone. The nuts have been drying and the kids have been bothering me to help them create a website (we settled on an email address) and to jump back on here to share the information.
It's been incredibly sweet to watch them in their free time work so hard and get so excited about selling these. The lessons they are learning through this experience will stick with them for life. I'm grateful they are experiencing this in their youth.
BREwmaster- Word of mouth is always good! I'm concerned they've picked more than our social base would be interested in. Good problem to have I suppose. I'll email you.
GSS- That is awesome information! The kids and I have talked a few times as we shopped there about how cool it would be to see that machine in action.
maddiedou- The grand total of pecans picked was 101 pounds! After much discussion they've settled on selling them for $5/pound IN SHELL. Would you still like a text?
Finding X- Great ideas. Thank you!
HappyinBCS- Great story! Hard work and entrepreneurship was always a part of my growing up. It has always served me well throughout adulthood and I was grateful for it. A good work ethic isn't optional in our household but not everyone is sparked by entrepreneurship. I'm honestly secretly glad that the entrepreneur bug bit.
newsjunkie & CollegeStationMaid- Shoot us an email!
Pecan Info:Small native pecans hand picked by our kids with a little help from us on "major pecan drop days" (our kids term not ours). The pecans need to be pick up right away to prevent rotting.
