Growing Quality Produce and People since 1947
Welcome to
Pace - Nielsen Farms
Growing Great Food and Great People Since 1947
Our Story and Family
In 1947, Lawrence and Marjorie Pace moved to the fertile Treasure Valley of Idaho and began farming near the Snake River; transforming the sagebrush into viable, productive fields. Several years later he was joined on the farm by his son-in-law, Mel Nielsen. Together, they became premium farmers and built a legacy where their posterity could be taught hard work and strong morals. Now operated by three of Mel’s sons, Pace-Nielsen Farms has diversified its crop portfolio and adopted new technologies to improve the sustainability of the land and enhance crop nutrition. Among many other crops, we produce onions, sugar beets, and the increasingly popular Nielsen Brothers Watermelon. Along with continuing to provide quality produce for our customers, we strive to uphold the legacy that has been left for us to improve upon.
Nielsen Brothers Watermelons
Watermelons have been grown in the Treasure Valley before but not quite like us. After some trials proved fruitful and our local businesses gave us a chance, Nielsen Brothers Produce was born and has continued to grow with increasing quality, taste, and scope year after year. Our ultimate goal in growing is to create the best tasting/looking watermelon you have ever had. Thank you to everyone who buys a Nielsen Brothers Watermelon. We cannot do it without your support. Thank you.
Onions and Sugar Beets
Our founder, Lawrence Pace, was an early onion farmer in the area. He learned much from the master Japanese farmers near Ontario, Oregon who taught him how to grow great onions in the valley. We have not forgotten those lessons to this day and currently supply onions to vendors around the United States.
Our Sugar Beet crops are known for their superior sugar levels due to our good soils and techniques. If you've seen the giant piles of sugar beets near Parma, you've likely seen some of ours.
Specialties
In addition to silage corn, wheat, and various seed crops, our farm is transitioning to be best able to supply you, the consumer, with the utmost best in terms of quality, taste, and service. We are excited to continue to bring new offerings to your stores and tables.
