Holmes Foods is located in Nixon, Texas, approximately an hour south of San Antonio. In 1925, Holmes Foods started as an ice plant, then shortly transitioned into custom processing. As business began to boom, Holmes Foods began processing variations of poultry including turkeys, hens, broilers, and ducks.
As family legacy may have it, the Lester family combined forces to better utilize resources and created a vertically integrated company including feed, hatchery, and processing divisions. These three operations are what Holmes Foods Co. is today, supplying “fresh Texas chicken” to food service and retail customers.
