Of course exploring around the Old Historic Mesilla plaza, had to stop by and visit the famous Stahmann’s Pecan orchard country store – one of the only two retail outlets for the world’s largest family owned pecan orchard. Indulged in the free samples of all of their spiced and candied pecans, mixes, and brittles … mmmmmm …. yummy! These fantastic creations come from a 4,000 acre pecan tree farm in the fertile Mesilla Valley that was planted by Deane Stahmann 70 years ago. Every year, they produce over 8 million pounds of premium pecans making them the largest family owned pecan orchard in the world. Rated: 4 stars out of 5. (visited 9/15/05) I of course left with a tin of their famous pecan brittle, some navajo print bandanas that were only 79 cents each, and a smile.
