The Southern Alternatives Agricultural Cooperative
The Southern Alternatives Agricultural Cooperative (SAAC) is a pecan cooperative in southwest Georgia that produces shelled pecans and pecan candies for sale through fair trade. SAAC is the only African American-owned pecan shelling facility in the United States - and it is run by women. The women who lead this cooperative are lifelong advocates who are determined to run a pecan-processing plant in a way that creates new business and jobs for workers, while strengthening local economies in southwest Georgia.
