******************************

We have another exciting trip planned for November! The Brazos
Locavores will experience a Texas favorite offered right here in the
Brazos Valley – the TAMU Pecan Orchard.

The original owners, respectful of the land, wanted to share it with
others and preserve the land for generations to come. They first
established the orchard in the 40’s, soon after creating a second
orchard in the 80’s. In fact, they just completed the final addition
in February 2009.

Today, the orchard contains more than 20 acres of land, making up the
3 orchards.The TAMU Pecan Orchard is located 8 miles out side of
College Station, Texas off Highway 60. This is a trip that you don’t
want to miss! We will be touring the beautiful venue while learning
about the various pecan trees, the different types of pecans, as well
as on-going experiments taking place at the orchard. Even better, with
this being pecan season, we will have the opportunity to purchase bags
of pecans harvested on-site.

Here’s the scoop:

What: Brazos Locavores Field Trip to TAMU Pecan Orchard

When: Saturday November 7th (1:00- 4:00)
