Company Description
Knight Pecan Farms is a family owned and operated pecan orchard in Creek County, Oklahoma, a twenty minute drive Southwest of Tulsa. The farm encompasses 300 acres of flat bottomland along Polecat Creek, ideally suited for pecan agriculture. Bob & Peggy Knight bought the land in the mid 1980s and set about making improvements, including construction of a large irrigation pond and planting rows of paper-shell trees to complement the existing native trees.
The Knights sold their pecans at a private store in Jenks beginning in 1986 up until a fire destroyed the building in 1997. Afterwards, they retailed their pecans through Conrad Farms in Bixby, a relationship which continued until 2013 when Conrad Farms fell to urban land pressure and decided to close down. In November of 2013, Knight Creek Farms rebuilt their nut shop on the site of the one that burned down and opened its doors once again to the public. Close to Tulsa Hills Shopping Center and City of Jenks, the new shop has received an enthusiastic welcome from both Tulsa and Regional pecan buyers. The shop is open in November, December and January. They also sell our pecans at the Tulsa Farmers Market in the summer on Saturdays from 7 until 11 am.
The Knights now care for over three thousand pecan trees and oversee all phases of the production process, from planting to irrigating, fertilizing, managing insects and blight, mowing, pruning, shaking, harvesting, cleaning, inspecting, drying and sacking the finished product. We work closely with researchers at Oklahoma State University to ensure use of the best practices in pecan horticulture and environmental management.
Bob Knight is a current President of the Oklahoma Pecan Growers Association and twice recipient of the Grower of the Year award. After over thirty five years in business, the second generation of Knight farmers is carrying on the passion for growing top quality pecans.
