Our Story
Adam and I started The Alabama Pecan Co. in 2017, after realizing that we wanted to create our own business with a product that we truly loved, and that we both were probably a little too wacky to work with any one other than each other.
Boy meets Girl
Adam and I began dating in 2015. He was finishing up a long standing career with Chick-fil-a, and I was finishing up my degree while being a single mom. We were both immediately head over heels for each other.
Sticking Together
After two years of long distance dating, we were married in 2017, and began life as a family. Two months later, we found out our family was expanding and five months later, we created The Alabama Pecan Co.
Growing Together
It was during those first few months of marriage that we saw that the pecan accumulation business, owned by my father and close family friend, needed to have a retail side. Starting a business together during our first year of marriage, with two children in tow, had a few learning curves but we loved every minute.
​
In the years since we first started Alabama Pecan in the living room of our home, we have been on quite a journey. Our biggest journey came in 2020, when we purchased an old restaurant and renovated it in the middle of a pandemic. We now operate a cafe and mercantile in Samson, AL. We still specialize in pecans, serving our town and the travelers on their way to the Gulf Coast; but we've also expanded to creating Southern cuisine with a chef's twist.
