Discover the Gold Standard of Pecans
When it comes to producing high quality pecans, we at Stahmanns know a thing or two. However, businesses seeking such products might not be able to detect the differences between a stellar nut and a lackluster one. Read on to learn a little more about our golden pecans, and what sets them apart from the rest.
Family comes first
When it comes to developing a successful business, one must have strong roots to build upon. There is no strength greater than the strength of family, and as they say, “Blood is thicker than water.” Stahmanns Pecans is a family-owned, female-operated, and estate-grown pecan producer with a story dating back nearly a century.
Becoming the first irrigated pecan farm in the world, then the largest pecan-producing family in the world cemented our presence as pecan pioneers. Since then, our family has continued to lead the way for 4 generations with our loyal leader, Sally Stahmann-Solis, heading up operations as our CEO and President since 2002. As the granddaughter of original founder, Deane F. Stahmann Sr., creating the perfect pecan is in her blood. With true passion for producing and delivering high quality pecans to our wholesale customers far and wide, she has continued to nurture evolution and growth that stands the test of time.

When Deane F. Stahmann Sr. began Stahmanns Pecans in 1932, he practically struck a pecan gold mine with his 2,900-acre purchase in La Mesa, New Mexico. Due to its outstanding number of sunny days, minimal levels of snow and rain, and fertile grounds of the Mesilla Valley it stands upon, La Mesa is the perfect plot for premium pecan growth. In fact, New Mexico was the highest pecan-producing state in the country in 2019, with our team churning out a whopping 9 million pecans and contributing to 10% of the state’s total.
