History
The pecans are homegrown on the 90-acre Mote family orchard that was established in 1926 and was named “Pea Ridge” for its known pea gravel. The orchard includes new tree varieties such as Caddo, Desirable, Kanza, Lakota, Oconee, and Pawnee with a few mixed varieties of mature trees planted in the 1960s.
