    Our packaging

    Two packs, and where they go after

    Find your flavour

    Which pecan are you?

    Four quick questions, and we pick the pecan for you. Watch the packs change as you answer.

    Origin · southern Brazil

    Four real seasons

    1. Spring · September to November

      Pecan trees wake up late. Long green catkins hang from the branches and the wind does the pollinating.

    2. Summer · December to February

      Hot days in Rio Grande do Sul. The nuts grow inside green husks, out of sight.

    3. Autumn · the harvest

      The husks split and the pecans drop. Harvest runs through the southern autumn. [VERIFY exact harvest months with El Porvenir]

    4. Winter · June to August

      Bare branches and real cold. Pecans need that chill to rest, which is why they grow here, in the south of Brazil, and not in the tropics.

    5. 10 687 km from our farm

      El Porvenir, our own farm in Monte Alverne near Santa Cruz do Sul, is 10 687 km from the Netherlands. It grows part of what we sell; the rest comes from partner farms that work the same way. [TBD which farms and where]

    Meet the araçari

    The small toucan on the pack

    Araçaris are small, colourful toucans from the forests of South America, Brazil included. Ours is a cartoon, but the real ones are just as cheerful. Press a fact and our bird will show you.

    Every fact below is marked [VERIFY]: check them before launch.

    Our farms

    A fifth of every farm is forest

    El Porvenir is our own farm: 72 hectares in Monte Alverne, near Santa Cruz do Sul, in the south of Brazil, planted on land that needed no deforestation. We also work with partner farms that follow the same rules. None of them is all orchard. [VERIFY size, location, no deforestation]

    20%of the land on every farm we work with is native forest, kept as a reserve [VERIFY]
