BYRON, Ga. (AP) \u2014 When Tim Williams purchased his home in Kewanee Farms<\/a> in Byron in the late summer of 2020, starting a pecan processing facility and opening a storefront wasn\u2019t something he\u2019d ever imagined doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t know anything about pecans before I came to Georgia,\u201d Williams said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Iraq combat disabled veteran decided to move from the Midwest to Middle Georgia to live near his mom after retiring from the U.S. Air Force. He served from 2008 to 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His property, which he described as a small farm, was filled with pecan trees \u2014 86 in all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, Williams decided to buy a pecan sheller with plans of selling his pecans. Then he bought some more used equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About that time, Sasnett Fruit & Nuts was closing its doors, and Williams bought some of their equipment, too, as well as some of their storefront furniture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The storefront<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

On Oct. 15, Williams, 32, opened a storefront in a converted old home and the Nut House Pecan Company <\/a>was born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The name seemed fitting to Williams, who\u2019s selling nuts out of an old house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When walking into the small storefront, customers may smell a fresh batch of his praline pecans, a mixture of cinnamon and sugar, roasting on site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customers can expect to find fresh Georgia pecans \u2014 halves or pieces \u2014 vacuumed sealed for sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those who still like to crack pecans themselves, he sells the nuts in their shells as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Williams also buys pecans from people. Additionally, he cracks and shells pecans for customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His processing prices are 70 cents per pound to crack and shell, 50 cents per pound to crack only and $1.80 per pound to shell pack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Williams also sells walnuts and almonds that he buys wholesale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His processing facility remains at his Kewanee Farms property for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Williams said he plans to eventually tear down the Main Street building, construct a new storefront and move the processing facility onto the same property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That could happen within the next two to three years, depending on the success of Williams\u2019 pecan crop, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also in his storefront, Williams showcases some of his work from his woodworking and cabinetry business, T.W. Solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The crop<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Last year, Georgia had a bumper pecan crop with 147.5 million pounds grown in the state, which was more than double the yield in both 2019 and 2018. But the $1.27 average price per pound was well below the 2019 price $1.88 and of the 2018 price of $1.62, according to VSCNews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, this year\u2019s crop production is down significantly due to an intermittently cold spring. The projected Georgia crop is now 60 million pounds at best and could come in even lower to below 50 million pounds for the first time in 15 years, according to Lenny Wells, a professor of horticulture and extension horticulture specialist for pecans at the University of Georgia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Williams remains undaunted, leaning into the advice of those experienced in the pecan business like Rick Sasnett, who managed his family\u2019s pecan shelling business that started as a fruit stand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis business has a lot of ups and downs,\u201d Williams said. \u201cHopefully, we\u2019ll have another boom crop next year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides, Williams said he has his Air Force retirement and pension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t do this for the money,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s something to keep me engaged \u2026 and to provide a service to the community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Williams plans to donate a portion of his profits to JAVELAN, a program in Omaha, Nebraska, that provides funding for service dogs for military veterans and retired first responders<\/a>. JAVELAN trained Williams\u2019 service dog, Peter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Williams also plans to give part of the profits to the Byron-based Star Bright Animal Rescue. He adopted Peter from the nonprofit animal rescue group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Nut House Pecan Company is open from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. and then 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
