History
Erick Nielsen’s grandfather, Carl Gottfried Erickson (“Dot”) was born in America to his Swedish immigrant family in Nebraska, coming from the East Coast in covered wagons.
He began developing the existing ranch in 1909 with a small dairy and poultry operation as well as prune, almond, olive and orange orchards. Erick’s family been involved in custom farming for many years; Dot had a commercial steam threshing operation during his stay on the ranch.
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, olives and almonds.
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.
