Click on the image below to visit the Ellis Brothers Photo Gallery.
The short drive from Exit 109 on Georgia I-75 to the Ellis Brothers pecan retail store and farm is a mini-tour of South Georgia farmland and Georgia agricultural history. On 1,200 acres in Dooly County, Ellis Brothers patriarch Elliott Ellis - along with two sons, Brad and Keith and their families, including seven Elliott grandchildren - grow Mahaws, Japanese persimmons, Satsumas, figs, blackberries and 75 acres of peaches in addition to the famous nut for which Ellis Brothers is known worldwide - Georgia Pecans.
The Ellis Brothers’ iconic logo - a comic, buck-toothed pecan with the message “We’re Nuts To Sell this Low” has signaled “Must Stop” for travelers on I-75 for over 30 years.
