Enjoy Cute Deer and a Short Stroll at the Pecan Tree Orchard

Green Valley, Arizona, is home to the world’s largest irrigated pecan orchard, operated by Green Valley Pecan Company (GVPC). Located just south of Tucson in Sahuarita, GVPC spans over 8,000 acres and cultivates nearly a quarter of a million pecan trees, including the Western Schley and Wichita varieties. The company manages all aspects of production—from planting and harvesting to processing and packaging—making it one of the top five pecan processors in the U.S. It also stands as the largest exporter of organic pecans to Europe. The region's unique climate—hot days and cool nights—combined with efficient irrigation systems, creates optimal growing conditions for pecans. GVPC's commitment to sustainable farming practices includes transitioning from flood irrigation to drip systems and utilizing compost made from tree byproducts to enrich the soil. For those interested in learning more, GVPC offers guided orchard tours that provide a behind-the-scenes look at the pecan farming process, from the nursery to the mature trees. These tours include a farm wagon ride and a visit to the Pecan Store for tastings. Green Valley's pecan orchards not only contribute significantly to Arizona's agricultural economy but also offer a unique glimpse into the world of large-scale nut farming. #orchard #pecantree #pecantrees #treefarm #deer #greenvalleyaz
