Welcome to Jake Creek Pecans

WE HAVE BEGUN THE 2024 HARVEST!!!


Your Health

     Did you know? Pecans are a good food source of nutrients that contribute to heart health and provide other health benefits. Important vitamins found in pecans include folic acid, niacin, vitamin B6, and vitamin E. Pecans are also a good source of important minerals such as copper, magnesium, calcium, and potassium, which are important for maintaining healthy blood pressure, bones, and muscles, including the heart. GET HEALTHY IN 2024 AND EAT NUTS!


About Us

     In 1994, we started our pecan orchard by planting 200 saplings purchased from Kansas State University, Manhattan, Kansas. We planted the saplings in what used to be a cornfield along the banks of Jake Creek in Northeast Kansas and were excited about our new "hobby."

     Over the next 5 years, we increased our orchard by approximately 100 saplings per year. In 2001, we purchased some adjoining property and began growing our own saplings, a process involving stratifying the pecan nut. We now have 1,900 trees with approximately 1,000 of them currently bearing USDA improved variety pecans. Most of our orchard is planted in Pawnee and Kanza varieties, but we also have Goosepond, Peruque, and Gardner. Our hobby has become a full-time job.

     We spend our springs pruning and grafting, our summers watering and mowing, and our falls harvesting.
