OU Nuts

Ron “O.U.” and Meili Thaxton began farming in the Pahrump Valley in 1998 when they planted a grove of pistachio trees on North Blagg Road. The orchard sits on 18 acres. They acquired an additional 1.7 acres of land fronting Highway 160 in 2014, where they now have a retail storefront to purchase their nuts.

Previously, O.U. Nuts had been selling their products from the farm, at local retail stores and at special events and farmers markets.

The family farm grows a variety of nuts and vegetables and offers different flavored pistachios from onion garlic to jalapeno, as well as the raw pistachios. All of their crops have one thing in common.

“This farm grows all its crops with love,” says Meili.
