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 built a legacy where their posterity could be taught hard work and strong morals. Now operated by 3rd and 4th generation family, Pace-Nielsen Farms has diversified its crop portfolio. We are best known for our 17 years of growing the Nielsen Brothers Seedless Watermelon, and have recently produced some newer crops such as pumpkins and sweet corn. Premium quality has always been our emphasis. 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.
