Orangeburg Pecan Company is a family owned corporation founded in 1939 in Orangeburg, S.C. by Marion H. Felder. Mr. Felder had been in the fresh fruit and produce business for many years operating one of the largest produce growing farms in South Carolina. Mr. Felder bought and sold in-shell pecans during the Fall Harvest season. When the first commercial quality pecan crackers were invented he was amazed and intrigued. He bought two of these new machines and in the fall of 1939 began cracking and shelling pecans. People liked being able to buy pecan nutmeats free of shell. This was the beginning of Orangeburg Pecan Company and the beginning of the pecan shelling industry. The company shells pecans purchased from local growers both small and large. When necessary, pecans are trucked in from Georgia, Alabama, and other pecan producing states. We have dealt with many of the growers through the years and continue to buy from the same orchards year after year.
