The Atkinson family has a long-standing history in the agriculture and ranching industries, but our involvement in the pecan industry began in the early 1950s when our great-grandfather, Clay Meyer Sr., started growing native pecan trees in Texas. Since then, we have had several family members enter the industry, including our grandfather, Newell Atkinson III, and our father, Newell Atkinson IV, who expanded the business. Today, we are proud to be entering our fourth generation in the family business and focus on buying and storing pecans from all over, as well as operating a pecan shelling facility and retail store in Mansfield, Louisiana.

As our pecan shelling facility has grown, we are always looking for new and innovative ways of using our byproduct converting it into useful raw materials across a variety of industries. We’re excited to work with you in finding sustainable and cost-effective solutions to your needs.
