The Story of Millican Pecan, the Brand that Kept Growing the Best Pecans in America for over a Century

By: Get News
Millican Pecan is among the longest-standing grower of pecans in the United States. Founded in 1888, Millican Pecan continues to deliver premium quality Texas-grown pecan delicacies at affordable prices.

As a company that has existed for over 135 years, Millican Pecan bears its title of the longest-running pecan commercial pecan grower in the USA with integrity and pride. 

The company was founded by E. E. Risien who named it the West Texas Pecan Nursery. Nestled in San Saba, Texas, the company was originally designed as a pecan orchard, and in the following years, it helped the city become known as the Pecan Capital of the World. 

Today, Millican Pecan offers a broad range of premium quality pecan products. From chocolate and cinnamon pecans to gift baskets, cards, and tins; from honey-roasted pecans to hot & spicey pecans, the firm’s catalog is remarkably eclectic. 

Among dozens of exquisite products in Millican Pecan’s offering, Creamy Pecan Butter stands as one of the customer favorites, followed by the Butter Pecan Coffee, and Dark Chocolate Caramillicans. 

As stated by Millican Pecan’s spokesperson, the products this firm offers are doctor-endorsed across the USA for patients suffering from peanut and walnut-related allergies, stating:

“This is one of the products our customers continue to buy year round. Simple ingredients; only pecans and a little salt. This jar is loaded with nutrition for your mornings. Put it on a toast or just grab a spoonful on the run. Doctors nationwide recommend our pecan butter to their patients who have peanut and walnut allergies because our orchard kitchen is one of the few commercial nut kitchens in the United States that only processes pecans,” said the company’s spokesperson.

The company’s spokesperson imparted that Millican Pecan used to rely on manual pecan collecting techniques when it was founded, but as younger generations continued to further this family-owned business (five generations), advanced technologies were embraced to empower Millican Pecan: 

“Much hard work goes into our trees to enable us to provide quality pecans from our orchards to your table. Back in the late 1800s when our great-great-grandparents were tending to the pecan trees, most of the work was done by hand. We are fortunate that we now have sophisticated machinery to help us improve our productivity. This results in the best in quality pecans, but it all starts here in our pecan orchards,” the company’s spokesperson said. 

What separates Millican Pecan from contemporary pecan orchards and product manufacturers is the “Mother Pecan Tree” that was discovered by the company’s founder, E. E. Risien on the land a short distance away from the orchard. 

The fruits of this gorgeous tree were used to produce numerous pecan varieties, including the Texas Prolific, Squirrel Delight, the Pecan No. 60, as well as Millican Pecan’s flagship, the Western Schley.

More information about Millican Pecan is available on the company’s official website.
