History
Erick Nielsen's grandfather, C.G. Erickson, began developing the
existing ranch in 1909 with a small dairy and poultry operation
as well as prune, almond, olive and orange orchards. In the 1940's,
Lloyd Nielsen (Erick's father) began leasing the ranch from his
father-in-law and continued to farm it until the mid 1970's.
Erick Nielsen Enterprises, Inc. was started in 1972 by Erick and
his wife Margie. As his business and family began to grow, he purchased
the ranch from his father in 1976. Erick is a third generation farmer
in Glenn County, California and has further expanded the acreage,
now farming prunes and olives. We proudly market our fruit through
Sunsweet Growers Inc. and Musco Family Olive Co. The primary focus
of ENE is providing custom orchard services that include prune and
pistachio harvesting and orchard topping, hedging and skirting.
Although our
specialized equipment is essential to providing great service, our
family of employees are the true backbone of our operation and many
have been with us from the beginning. We appreciate the loyalty
of the many families working with us to continue the tradition of
ENE; a family business with integrity, where we enjoy providing
innovative and quality services to our customers. A heartfelt thank
you to the Bentz, Collins, Duran, Esquivel, Espino, Hernandez, Hiebert,
Nuñez, Odom, Parra, Perez, Rosales, Tangeman, Treviño and Vallejo
families for your dedication and friendship. As you enjoy these
photographs, you will see that the equipment may have changed a
great deal…but not the people!
