Picture yourself,
you're sitting on a grassy bank with your feet gently dangling in
the cool, clear water of the Cane River. You look up, the sun is
warm on your face, you shade your eyes and look past the river to
see rows and rows of pecan trees - they seem to go on forever -
green and lush against the bright blue Louisiana sky. You
are surrounded by the pecan orchard of Natchitoches Pecans in picturesque
Little Eva Plantation.
This
plantation, originally called Hidden Hill half a century ago, is
said to be the real location that inspired Harriet Beecher Stowe's
classic novel, Uncle Tom's Cabin. Hidden Hill was also the birthplace
of American Folk Artist Clementine Hunter. Driving due NW on Highway
1 through Natchitoches Parish, you can't help but get a feel for
that bygone era.
Natchitoches Pecans, Inc. is a family owned and operated pecan orchard where duties are shared in bringing the crop to market, from scouting insects, fertilizing, pruning, and harvesting to minding the store each Fall. Mark Swanson sees to the everyday operations while his wife Julie takes care of Little Eva's Pecan Store and the mail order business. Mothers, brothers, sisters, nieces, and nephews all help wherever needed. Our company takes pride in having supplied the Louisiana Pecan Festival Country Store with top quality fresh pecans for the past 19 years!!!
