We had an incredible time at Career Expo 2025, hosted at the STEAM Center! 🚀 With over 500 enthusiastic students from Valdosta’s middle and high schools in attendance, the energy was high and curiosity even higher.

Our team was proud to represent South Georgia Pecan and share the full journey of a pecan — from its humble

beginnings on the farm, through the detailed production process in our facility, and all the way to shell processing at our Southeastern Reduction Facility. It was an exciting opportunity to show how agriculture, food production, and even science and technology intersect in our industry.

The students got a first-hand look at how many different career paths exist within the world of pecans—from office administration and plant operations to billing and quality control.

We want to give a huge shoutout to our amazing team members who shared their time and expertise:
🔹 Brieanna Pratho, Office Manager
🔹 Patrick Roberts, Finished Product Manager
🔹 Jenn Wertz, SER Plant Manager
🔹 Charlee Huggins, Billing Specialist

Their passion and knowledge made a real impact, and we’re grateful for their commitment to education and community outreach.

Events like these remind us why we love what we do — and why it’s so important to connect with the next generation of workers, thinkers, and makers.

Here’s to growing minds and planting seeds for the future!
