Justin and Jared Miller, owners of Miller Pecan Company, have always been hard workers with big dreams. But the secret to successful growth is delegating and finding the right people who can diligently work together to accomplish goals and deliver quality. As tempting as it is to do everything ourselves, that mindset isn’t sustainable, and we recognize that. Thankfully, we have some wonderful people on our team that makes our growth possible and strong.
It’s a family-type atmosphere at Miller Pecan Company. Whether you work in the office, or on the production floor, or in the retail store, there is a special feeling of respect and inclusion among all people. It’s the kind of feeling that makes the long days worthwhile and the kind of feeling that makes going to work enjoyable. We work diligently to treat our fellow team members with respect, kindness and genuinely get to know who they are and not just what they do. From mothers and sons to husband and wife to siblings, our family culture is strengthened by the fact that many of our team members are related in reality. So for our family-owned small business, you either are family, or it feels just like you are family.
We believe our humble and friendly culture to be one of the things that sets us apart, and a way we attract our exceptional people. This culture also encompasses our personable approach to serving our customers every day and the foundation of doing unto others as we would have others do to us. It’s the genuine laugh we exchange with our fellow team mates and the kind smile we share with our visitors. It’s the small things in addition to delivering unforgettable farm fresh pecans that reinforces our culture.
At the end of the day, we are only as exceptional as our people, and we believe that wholeheartedly. And it would be remiss not to also include our pecan-loving customers when reflecting on the amazingness of our people. It’s you, our new and long-time customers, who ultimately act as the cherry on top of our turtle pecan ice cream sundae. Whether you are a customer who happened upon our quaint retail location along historic Route 66 while traveling, or you are a fellow small business who depends on high-quality vendors to supply product for your dream, or you are a retail grocer who strives to provide the best for your customers, we thank you for choosing us.
When it comes down to it: yes, we are proud to be one of the only pecan producers to be taking pecans all the way from the tree to the table, but without our people- our team mates and our customers- our dreams would be in vain. So we thank you. We thank you for believing in us and we thank you for allowing us to serve you fully.
