When searching for pecan oil products, we discovered Nuez Acres, a family-owned farm and apothecary situated in Langley, BC. It's also indigenous owned; Nancy, the owner, is of Mexican indigenous descent, and her husband, Anthony, is Métis. Nancy's father owns a farm in Chihuahua, Mexico, where their pecans are grown, making this a true family affair and tying it into indigenous pecan growing traditions.
They buy other products as locally as possible and press the oil in British Columbia. They are committed to regenerative farming, biodiversity, and chemical-free production. All their products are waterless and cruelty-free. They started with body scrubs and facial serums but have since expanded their brand as they gain recognition.
What Makes Nuez Acres Stand out
When we choose a partner, we look for producers that stand out from the crowd. Here's what makes Nuez Acres worth checking out:
Farm-to-Product Freshness
Nuez Acres controls the entire process, from growing the trees to crafting the final product, all in one chain and on-site. This maximizes purity and potency, reduces shipping costs, and ensures the highest quality ingredients are used. Their pecans are grown on a family farm in Mexico and shipped in bulk to British Columbia, where they are processed into high-quality pecan oil.
Sustainable Practices
They use no synthetic pesticides or herbicides on their pecan farms. Instead, they focus on soil health, pollinator-friendly practices, and waste minimization. By producing waterless products, they also reduce shipping costs, increase potency, and eliminate the need for preservatives while, of course, saving valuable water. They also use no artificial fragrances or colours, and their products are free from parabens and sulphates, which makes them ideal for sensitive skin. Finally, their packaging uses glass bottles and recycled materials.
Small-Batch Quality
Large companies often encounter quality assurance issues due to their sheer volume. All Nuez Acres products are handcrafted in small batches from fresh, high-quality ingredients, ensuring easy quality assurance. This also reduces waste, as they are not producing large amounts of a new product that might not sell or discarding expired product. Small batches enable them to produce products without preservatives, resulting in less waste.
Product Line Overview
If you have dry skin and are looking for a solution, pecan oil might be the answer. Pecan oil moisturizes and is rich in vitamins and minerals that nourish skin, hair, and nails, while being gentle for people with sensitive skin.
All Neus Acres products are based on their high-quality pecan oil. However, they offer a variety of products for different lifestyles and beauty routines. We carry their natural skin care products, which include body scrubs, day and night serums, hair serums, and lash and brow serums.
Many of their items are infused with botanicals, such as rosehip, lavender, and beeswax. Nuez Acres is a fantastic choice for customers who seek clean, chemical-free wellness solutions and who value transparency in sourcing and production. As Nuez Acres controls their supply line, there is no risk of ending up with a product that was treated with pesticides.
Eco & Ethical Impact
At GreenBirdi, we only partner with suppliers who care about their ecological and ethical imprint. Nuez Acres offers:
Regenerative agriculture. Their farming methods are designed to restore soil health, protect wildlife, and reduce carbon footprint. Again, because they control their sourcing, they can make sure that their pecans are grown and harvested correctly.
-
Local production. The final products are all made in Canada, reducing transportation emissions and shipping costs.
-
Community connection. This is a family-run, woman-led, and indigenous business that is important in the local community. Buying from Nuez Acres means supporting farmers and artisans as well as sustainable agriculture.
-
Cruelty-free promise. Nuez Acres does not test any products or ingredients on animals and is part of the Leaping Bunnies cruelty-free program. Also, all their products are vegan and entirely plant based.
-
Waterless products. By making all their products waterless, Nuez Acres reduces water usage and eliminates the need for preservatives.
Why GreenBirdi Loves Nuez Acres?
We love Nuez Acres because they share our values. We are committed to sustainability, inclusivity, and community engagement. They go above and beyond with their transparent sourcing and hands-on approach to quality.
This is a beautiful example of how small-scale farming can have a significant impact on the world through the production of high-quality, beautifully crafted products and environmental responsibility. Nuez Acres is a partner that can help us achieve our goals as we help them achieve theirs.
How to Try Nuez Acres Products
Nuez Acres products work synergistically. For example, their Hair Serum is ideal for individuals with dry skin and sensitive hair, as well as those with a low tolerance for fragrances. Or if you like lemon and lavender, check out the Nuez Acres Body Scrub with natural lemon and lavender scents. This body scrub will gently exfoliate to remove dead skin cells and promote new cell growth.
One caution is that, as all their products contain pecan oil, if you are allergic to tree nuts or have a reaction to them, you should try a patch test first before using the products. Some people who are allergic to tree nuts, upon ingestion, also experience problems with the oil on their skin. We, and Nuez Acres, want you to be safe.
Nuez Acres shows that you can combine purposeful, sustainable agriculture and quality craftsmanship. If you value integrity and respect for the earth, consider Neuz Acres products, especially if you have dry skin, hair, or nails. Their pecan-based products are also great for people with facial hair.
