After Hurricane Matthew in 2016, Hurricane Irma in 2017, and Hurricane Michael in 2018, Georgia's pecan farming industry is suffering. Georgia lost a sixth of its total pecan trees from Hurricane Michael and generations of farmers lost their crops—giving them a long road to recovery. Combined with increasing tariffs, many farmers are uncertain about their future.
Pear and Pecan Flip Cake
From "A New Turn in the South" by Hugh Acheson. This has been a staple of mine for years, and I never tire of it. I love the baked pears and the pecans together.

From "Around the Southern Table" by Sarah Belk. Three Southern classics are in this recipe: bacon, pecans, and cornbread. They complement the gentle flavor of the quail, which is a good dinner-party choice since it can be stuffed a day in advance.
