Green Valley Pecan Company

Nestled half a mile above sea level, we enjoy more than 350 days of sunshine each year. The high daytime temperatures often climb into the hundreds, yet the nights remain cool and clear. This unique climate provides the ideal growing environment for producing consistently superior pecans.

Our deep connection to the land began in 1948, when R. Keith Walden acquired this fertile expanse in the Santa Cruz Valley, south of Tucson, Arizona. The farm, steeped in history and rich soil, continues to thrive under the stewardship of the Walden family today.

Sustainability is at the core of our farming practices. With over 80 years of experience, we've honed our conservation skills, resource efficiency, and responsible production methods to maximize yields without compromising the environment.

Our success is built on the dedication and well-being of our people. At FICO, we prioritize the physical and emotional welfare of our staff, offering opportunities for professional growth and encouraging a family-like atmosphere. We are committed to advocacy for our employees, recognizing them as the main component of our achievements.
