Winston Millican

Established in 1888, Millican Pecan Company continues the traditions and methods that our great-great grandfather instilled in our company over 100 years ago. E.E. Risien founded the West Texas Pecan Nursery at the junction of the San Saba and Colorado rivers. This is where our family's legacy began and where the Mother Pecan Orchard still stands today. From this location our family developed many great pecan varieties, as well as a prosperous orchard that continues to serve our customers. During his era, Mr. Risien's customer base included Queen Victoria of England, Alfred Lord Tennyson, and the cereal company giant, C.W. Post. Today, we carry on his legacy of commitment to our customers and the joy of a family-owned business, right in San Saba, Texas, known as the Pecan Capital of the World.
