About Holmes Foods Inc.
Holmes Foods Inc. operates a poultry plant at 101 South Liberty Avenue in Nixon, Texas, in Gonzales County. The establishment is listed in the USDA FSIS directory under establishment numbers P1294 and V1294, with FSIS activities recorded as poultry slaughter, poultry processing, and export certification. FSIS classifies the plant as small and lists a grant of inspection date on file of July 12, 2021. The reported slaughter volume category is 5.0, the highest of the FSIS head-count bands, and poultry is the only species reported slaughtered under inspection.
No custom-exempt activity is reported to FSIS, meaning the federal record does not show the plant processing animals for return to individual owners. The website recorded on file for this establishment is npfda.org, which belongs to the National Protein and Food Distributors Association, a trade group for food distributors, processors, and allied industries founded in 1967. That site lists Holmes Foods, Inc. at the Nixon address and phone number as an association participant, but it does not describe the plant's own operations, ordering, or hours.
Secondary search listings describe Holmes Foods as a family-owned Texas chicken company that raises, processes, and packages fresh ready-to-cook poultry, and state that the business was founded in 1925 as an ice plant. Beyond the federal record and those brief listings, details about products, customer programs, and retail access are not yet on file.
