In 2014, Heather Salopek, 4th Generation Farmers Daughter, began Legacy Pecans. Legacy Pecans was founded on the premise of respect and admiration of the past, combined with a vision and passion for the future. After worldly travels as an International Marketer for the industry association, US Pecans, Heather found her passion carrying on her family’s legacy in a meaningful and purposeful way. With the mentorship of many, she built Legacy Pecans into a thriving retail, wholesale and corporate gifting business that emphasizes authenticity, quality, and upscale farm to table products. Legacy Pecans is rooted in history as all of the pecans are grown on the family farm located in Las Cruces, New Mexico. In 2017, Heather partnered with her sister-in-law to expand into a lifestyle brand of Legacy Pecans and opened a local country chic boutique located on the Historic Mesilla Plaza where you can find all our pecan products and unique southwestern gifts.
