Our business began in 1986 when founder and owner, Larry Jordan, planted the first pecan orchard at Wagon Hammock Nursery, Inc. Wagon Hammock Nursery is located on US 1 N in Lyons, GA. The city of Lyons is in Toombs county in southeastern Georgia. Southern Nuts was established in 2008. Southern Nuts is a proud family-owned and operated business operated by Debbie Jordan and her brother Michael Jordan. Since its beginning more than twenty years ago, Southern Nuts has continued to grow and sell fresh Georgia Pecans to some of the largest retailers in America.  Southern Nuts produces and sells only the best varieties of Georgia Pecans, including the Oconee, Desirable, Sumner and Stuart varieties.

Oconee variety pecans originate from the Oconee tree. While these trees produce crops relatively early in their lifespan, its nuts are harvested from the middle to almost the end of October. Oconee pecans are large and of high quality. Desirable pecans live up to their name. These trees produce early in the season. The Desirable type is an oily variety of pecan, and is a favorite of tourists in Georgia. Sumner pecan trees are quite robust and resilient. Like the desirable sort, these trees also flourish early in the season, and produce wholesome nuts. Sumner trees do very well in southern states like Georgia, Florida, and Alabama. The Stuart pecan tree yields enormous amounts of nuts, and can be found all throughout the U.S.

The GFVGA is the Georgia Fruit and Vegetable growers association. Southern Nuts joined GFVGA in order to network with other pecan producers. Through this organization, we are hoping to share innovative ideas to increase production and reduce costs, therefore providing the highest quality product to our consumer at the most competitive prices.

GFVGA is the voice of the industry. We hope to take advantage of the wealth of knowledge regarding marketing opportunities, increasing production efficiencies, and improving communications among GFVGA members and industry suppliers.

At Southern Nuts, our grading and packing equipment is state of the art. As a result, careful production planning allows us to grow and distribute the best pecans available. Southern Nuts buys and sells the best pecans, furthermore, we have a line of condiments found only in this area. We sell Vidalia Onion Dressings, Sauces, chocolate covered pecans in addition to southern heritage cook books.

Georgia is the number one pecan producing state in the country. Consequently, Southern Nuts and the numerous other producers in GA have a huge positive economic impact on our state.

For over twenty years we have grown Georgia Pecans as a family business. Especially relevant is the fact that we take pride in the quality of our shelled and unshelled pecans including the Oconee, Desirable, and finally, the Sumner varieties.
