During its potential 150-year life, each American pecan tree produces a nut that is unique in variety, making for millions of distinctive pecan nut flavors. Texas leads the nation in pecan production with an estimated 600,000 acres of trees consisting of 30,000,000 individual trees. Pecans are highly nutritious as they are sodium-free and contain upwards of 19 vitamins and minerals. As a nut with a high protein content, (18%) the pecan is listed on the USDA Food Guide pyramid as a nourishing alternative protein for people on a plant-based diet. Although not explicitly endangered, the American Native Pecan is at risk and in need of revitalization.

Growers o'naturale. We enjoy our peaches, blackberries, strawberries and other small fruits. We planted an acre vineyard of table grapes. We also have one acre of veggies, some of which are heirloom varieities, and a flock of free ranged chickens (multiple breeds) all heritage breeds. Shares are available for our CSA '09. We sell grass fed, no hormone and no antibiotic beef. We are dedicated to organic practices but are not registered with the government.

Let me introduce myself. I'm Laura Benson, proprietress of BlueStar Acres Farm and 3rd party CSA service. I'm a responsible adult (49) & mother of 5. I ( and my Granny before me) have been doing the "Large extended family" equivalent (over 50 members average- Benson- Kennedy- Hammond- Jamison- Vaughn- Leblanc- LeBouef- Boren- Duncan- Cortez- Poole- We're ALL related! LOL) to a CSA for quite some time now, but I have never had a farm stand or sold at local farmers' markets.

We grow heirloom tomatoes and okra using no pesticides or commercial fertilizers. We have our kale, collards, broccoli, spinach and other fall crops in and we still have some tomatoes. We produce fresh eggs from pastured poultry. And we have meat rabbits. Our orchard is young but we will have a wide variety of fruits in a couple of years. We also have a mature pecan orchard and we're now selling both paper shell and native pecans. The pecans this year are full and delicious.
