Our Story

Legacy Pecans started as a labor of love. My family has been growing pecans for four generations in the heart of the Mesilla Valley. Our family roots are deeply planted in the New Mexico soil that we still farm today.

I grew up driving around our pecan orchards with my dad, watching him share his passion  with every person he could. Many who came to visit the farm as strangers left as friends—and that is why I continue to share our legacy with the world. Traditions run deep for us, as our pecans are still grown by my brothers and cousins on the family farm that my great grandparents established years ago. I take great pride in ensuring our customers love giving the gift of Legacy Pecans as much as we enjoy growing quality pecans. Tradition, Quality, and Family remain our driving force and can be enjoyed with every package of Legacy Pecans.

My hope is that with each Legacy Pecans package a story is told, a bond is made, a tradition is started or a moment is shared with family and friends enjoying pecans grown with love. As dad always said, our orchards are your orchards. So whether you are giving our pecans as a unique gift from New Mexico or simply enjoying a heart healthy snack for yourself, know we appreciate the opportunity to share our pecans—grown by our family, to be enjoyed by yours. 

Enjoy, my friends!
