Harvest Time - Ramah Farm - Roux Pecans


Another restful scene in our orchard. I am always reminded of how lucky I am when a scene like this evolves while in the middle of harvesting. How lucky we are not to have plant gobbling machines devouring the place. We remove the nuts, and return the shells to the orchard. The sheep consume the leaves and return those back to the orchard in a usable form for the trees.
This is how it should be - in my view.

I’m on the look for a female Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy red wheaten colour with the dark muzzel, do you perhaps have litter available or are you expecting one?


I would prefer a registered pup.


I am looking for a good friend as well as a good protector.

What would the costs be for such a puppy and getting it to Pretoria

Hello, there from Raleigh, North Carolina, USA. Kudos on your sustainable farming practices! I hope to make it to South Africa someday. Found your blog when googling "pecan juice stains." My three-year-old and I both received some stains when were were trying to open some pecan fruit from the large tree in our back yard the other day (it is of course autumn over here in the US). I gather from your blog that we should have let the fruit dry first, but I'm afraid that the squirrels eat them if you leave them on the tree. Our one tree is way overgrown, a remnant from an old orchard. Its height makes a meaningful harvest impossible. Best of luck to you! One question: is there no market for your product in SA? Why ship all the way to Europe?
