Here at Southern Roots, pecans are a family tradition.Our roots date back to 1973 when Marty Harrell started working for SNA Nut Company at a pecan processing plant in Camilla, Georgia. Within just a few years, Marty became the owner and CEO's right-hand man. After 21 years with SNA Nut Company, Marty started Harrell Nut Company in 1994. By providing customers all over the world with great service and the best quality pecans at competitive prices, Harrell Nut Company quickly became an industry leader and one of the most successful pecan processing operations to date. Marty’s three sons, Brandon, Chris, and Adam, helped him run the business, and, in 2008, Marty made his sons partners in Harrell Nut Company. In 2014, Harrell Nut Company was acquired by Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), a publicly traded company based in Decatur, IL, and Harrell Nut Company was integrated into ADM’s Golden Peanut & Tree Nut brand. In 2020, Marty’s son Chris left ADM and formed Southern Roots Nut Company with his brother Brandon. Today, Chris and Brandon Harrell are sourcing the best quality pecans wherever they are grown and processed and supplying them to customers all over the globe.
