About Allison Holmes
Meet Allison, the heart and soul behind The Holmestead. After struggling with health issues, Allison embarked on a journey of self-discovery and healing, which led her to the realization of the importance of quality, farm-to-table nutrition. This personal revelation sparked a desire to serve her local community, leading to the birth of The Holmestead. Today, Allison and her husband Josh are committed to tackling food insecurity and cultural detachment from real food, providing quality produce and educational opportunities to the DFW community.
About Joshua Holmes
After teaching for years and transitioning to sales, Josh decided to quit the corporate world to help Allison now that business was really picking up.
Josh has taken over the “growing” department but also assists in cottage baked good production. He can make some killer sandwich bread to go with his spicy salad mix! He is currently expanding produce options and excited to share more about it down the road.
He enjoys playing bass guitar and video games on his PC. He routinely looks forward to nightly walks with his Corgi, Watson and remains a total night owl despite early market and work hours to Allison’s suprise. “If someone is responding to your messages at 4 AM it’s likely Allison up preparing orders for the day.” Josh laughs. “Allison is the administrative and organizational side of things, and I’m the laid back, work with my hands kind-of-guy”.
Cindy S.
Cindy is Allison’s mom. She is usually behind the scenes assisting in both departments, but you can sometimes spot her at markets or the farm stand. Cindy, Allison, and Josh all live on the same land together. After retiring from teaching, Cindy started helping Allison in the early stages as business picked up to be able to increase efficiency without compromising quality. She enjoys spending time with animals or hanging out by the lake or beach in her downtime.
