Ever since Grandpa Ray Lofton planted his first pecan orchard in Vick, Louisiana, in the early 1960s, our family has enjoyed sharing pecans with our friends and neighbors. Two generations of Loftons have grown up beneath those pecan trees, harvesting and cracking the nuts in the fall, and making pecan pies and pralines all year round. Local folks can enjoy the convenience and freshness of home gro

Lynn wanted me to let you all know that his surgery is over and was successful. It was a bit more complicated and lengthy than expected. We are thankful for all who prayed for him and checked on us. Now comes the hard part for me…trying to keep this man down for 4 weeks! 😆

Going to be me in a week or so. Before I begin getting reacquainted with my recliner, y’all come out tomorrow from 3-6 at the Alexandria Farmers Market in Alexandria. I plan to be there with plenty of pecan products. I will be out roughly a month so come stock up and see me. I am concerned about the retraining process when I start the markets back up! I hear it’s hard to teach and old dog old tricks. New ones are out of the question 😂

Good folks, I have reached the age that , much like an old car, occasionally I have to go in the shop for some repair work. That time has arrived. I will be undergoing a robotic surgery to repair double hernias. I think it was mostly caused by lack of access to a good forklift or front end loader in my younger years🙄. Having said that, this coming Tuesday will be my last market for approximately 4 weeks. I will be at the Alexandria Farmers Market. I will bring extra inventory for those of you that may want to stock up a little. We appreciate your support so much. If you would like to preorder just let me know on Facebook or my phone. 318-613-2064. God willing I look forward to being back in the swing of things the middle of September. Our kitchen will be working and open for orders. I just won’t be able to work shows because of lifting restrictions. Thanks for understanding 🙏

Got this little container of fresh baked mini pecan pies looking for a new home. I will be offering them on a first come first served basis to lucky individuals that are fortunate enough to get there first. They are easily cared for, easy to remove their little coverings and mighty easy on the palate, especially if you enhance them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream🙄. So for a nominal fee you can be the lucky one to take one or more of these little fellows home and make your and my dreams come true! They can be picked up at the Alexandria Farmers Market on Jackson Street from 3-6. I’ll try to keep them under control u;til you can get there!

Good people, we’re all set up at the Folk Fest at the Prather Coliseum at the beautiful Northwestern University campus. I’m hoping for the ole osmosis trick and my intellect will be vastly improved by just being here. It’s my only hope! Plenty of music, crafts and food of all kinds. You’re sure to find some thing to your liking. I would suggest bringing a light jacket or sweater. It’s cold in here!!

I just wanted to do a little public service here. Most of you know we make delicious candies and pies from select fresh Louisiana grown pecans. And I might add, they are quite delectable! However there are some of us that need to watch our sugar intake. We have a remedy for that sweet tooth that will also not negatively affect your health. We have a delicious pecan that is sweetened with a natural sweetner called Monkfruit. Not one of those artificial sweeteners with the terrible aftertaste, but a natural sweetner that eliminates this issue. So when you see our “sugar free” pecan, know that we use this natural sweetner instead of the manmade ones. Try some tomorrow at the Alexandria Farmers Market from 3-6 on Jackson Street.

What is monk fruit sweetener?

Monk fruit sweetener is extracted from monk fruit.The monk fruit is also known as luo han guo or “Buddha fruit.” It’s a small, round fruit grown in Southeast Asia.This fruit has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine, but the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) didn’t approve its use as a sweetener until 2010.The sweetener is created by removing the seeds and skin of the fruit and crushing it to collect the juice, which is then dried into a concentrated powder.
