Creel Family Brings Pecan Business to Colorado Springs | Denver News

Colorado Springs is set to welcome a new family-run business as the Creel family, owners of American Beef, unveil plans for a pecan shelling and distribution facility at Peak Innovation Park. Luis Creel, a family member and board member of the Palmer Land Conservancy, shares their deep roots in the area and pride in growing their operations locally. With ties to generations of entrepreneurship spanning Mexican and American heritage, the Creels started with a single 100-acre pecan plantation in 1992 — now expanded to over 1,000 acres — using sustainable, pesticide-free farming. Construction kicks off in August 2027, backed by over $600,000 in state tax credits, as the family continues their mission to blend business success with land stewardship.
