Our Story

Welcome to The Pecan Pantry, where a rich family history and a love for nuts intertwine. Our journey began in the early 1950s when our great-grandfather, Clay Meyer Sr., planted the seeds of a legacy in the fertile soils of Texas, cultivating native pecan trees that would flourish for generations to come.

Following in his footsteps, our grandfather, Newell Atkinson III, ventured into the pecan industry in the late 1950s, laying down the foundation for expanding the family business. In the present day, our dad, Newell Atkinson IV, has carried on the third generation of commitment to quality and excellence.

As our family enters its fourth generation in the pecan business, we’ve begun our mission to bring the highest quality pecan products possible to the everyday consumer the freshest pecans nature can offer. Our commitment to quality extends beyond taste to encompass the entire process, from selecting the best pecan varieties to processing and packaging.

We have used our 80-plus years of pecan industry knowledge to select the top pecans from US farms ensuring The Pecan Pantry’s pecans are the best of the best. The Pecan Pantry pecans are not only the freshest but the highest quality of pecan possible coming straight to your door.

Give The Pecan Pantry products a try – we are confident you will love every one of them.
