Family owned business announces Grand Opening of new location

Delicious peanut brittle awaits customers at Byrd's
Pecans Delights in Adrian

Mention Byrd's Pecans anywhere around the area and the name recognition is immediate.  The family owned business was the brainchild of Vernon and Mary Ann Byrd of rural Amoret, whom for many years have maintained a large pecan grove south of Virginia near the Maris Des Cygnes river.

With the grove came a store location in Virginia, well visible from the intersection of 52 and V highways. On some days, from outside the building a constant clicking sound can be heard as cracking machines process and package pecans that are widely distributed around the area.

While Vernon Byrd passed away some time back, the rest of the family continues to operate the business with the same enthusiasm that has made the Byrd's name famous. Jennifer Cassaday, Adrian resident and granddaughter of Vernon Byrd wants to keep the business moving forward and has opened a specialty shop in Adrian. "We are creating a place where someone can come in, sit down, have a slice of pie with ice cream just like the good old days" said Cassaday.

Hence, the Grand Opening of Byrd's Pecans Delights is happening tomorrow starting at 9 a.m. at 22 E. Main St. in Adrian.

Stop by, have some pie, enjoy some delicious treats and meet the staff. More information can be found on the Byrd's Facebook page here.
