I live in central Alabama, and around here the pecans begin dropping from the trees in late October, November. Soon I can expect to find them available in the farmers' markets. My favorite way to buy them is cracked, still in the shells. I prefer to keep them in the shells so they won't dry out too much. I want them already cracked so that I don't wear out my hands and fingers trying to crack them open! It's not hard to remove them from the cracked shells, and they are still moist inside.

Pecans are typically harvested in the fall, with peak harvest season occurring in November.
