Fosters Crossing Pecans debuts 2026 crop at its farm in Anna

The 2026 pecan season has arrived in Texas and you can buy them fresh at Foster Crossing Pecans, a pecan grower in Anna at 1303 W. Foster Crossing Rd.

These are different from pecans sold in supermarkets year-round, says Foster Crossing Pecans founder Jim Luscombe.

"Pecans sold at grocery stores are good, but they've been stored for a while," Luscombe says. "You're not going to believe how good fresh pecans are."

Foster Crossing is one of the many family pecan farmers across Texas, often passed down through multiple generations, although the number of farmers is decreasing. But more of those remaining growers are pivoting in the same direction as Foster Crossing and selling directly to consumers.

For Luscombe, Foster Crossing Pecans was a second act. He and his wife Robyn founded the company in 2002, planting a first stand of 100 pecan trees on farmland his family had owned since around 1875.
