We recently bought 3 bags of Cracked Pecans at $18.00 / bag on the advice of a local distributer south of them on Hwy 181 as an alternate source for pecans. That was back on Jan 3, 2019 and today is Jan 12, 2019.
After purchasing the last two bags we noticed that a few were molded on the bottom of the bag, but didn't give it much thought since another pecan distributer always told us to put them in the refrigerator for freshness and to freeze them if we were not going to use them right away.
We pulled them out of the refrigerator yesterday to start processing them and found out all of them were molded to some extent. We then contacted the manager on the 12th and she told us pecans cannot be put in the refrigerator as they are moist and that will cause them to mold, which they did in this case. She was correct in what had happened to these particular bags of pecans.
The difference I think is that the distributors pecans are in paper bags for air to circulate and the farm markets in this case are in plastic with no air circulation. Just a guess in my part.
The bottom line is, the manager said sorry, we apologize for the pecans molding, but there is nothing we can do! There is no warning on these plastic bags that these are not to be refrigerated. The manger left us hanging with almost $60.00 worth of worthless pecans we are going to throw away.
I see there is usually good reports for this market on the reviews, but buyer beware, they do not stand behind something if it goes bad for some reason!
P.S. we have been refrigerating bags of pecans with no problems since 2015 until we purchased pecans this year from Allegri...

So I ask why and was told by her that NO she was not going to lose money by me tearing through her greens ! PLEASE I am a 73 year old woman and would NEVER do that ! I said if I could NOT pick out my own greens then I did not want them and she said fine then leave. I have shopped at their market for YEARS.....but NEVER again ! I will not be treated like that for NO reason so I went to Burris Farm Market where they treat you like a person and let you PICK OUT your...
   Read moreThis is a terrible company! When my mom and I 1st arrived we each had a paper cup we wanted to throw in the trash. We asked one of the ladies at the cash register for a trash can. She pointed in the direction of the bathroom and said we'd have to throw them in the trash can in there even though she had a trash can right beside her. We went there so I could buy some fresh peaches. None of them smelled like peaches and some of them also felt freezing cold which lead me to believe they had been frozen. Needless to say I didn't buy any peaches. Then they "claimed" to sell only RED watermelons. The sign also stated they were seedless. When we got the watermelon home, we live in Pensacola FL, and cut into it, it was yellow and full of seeds!! Right before we left, my mom wanted to use the restroom but was told it was closed to the public. No reason why either, just that she...
