Pecans can keep in freezers for two to three years; they are 80 percent oil, which remains very stable when frozen, says Brenda Lara, plant manager at Green Valley Pecan Company in Sahuarita, Ariz.
The Green Valley is fragrant with flowers. A beautiful river flows slowly here. Both sides of the river are beautiful homes.
