The Pecan Farm has about 110,000 trees, covering 4,500 acres. It is about 26 miles long and 2 miles wide. It is the largest pecan processor in the U.S. and the second largest farm (they recently sold 1,500 acres). The pecans are harvested in November and December. http://www.pecanstore.com/Aboutus.asp
