The Holmestead at Denton Community Market: Micro-Farming, Mindful Baking, & Community Nourishment
Meet The Holmestead
From Weatherford, Texas to DFW’s busiest markets, The Holmestead LLC is where homegrown flavor meets heart-led mission. Founded and operated by Allison Holmes, this woman-owned micro-farm specializes in more than food—they help build health and connection throughout Parker County and beyond.
Allison’s vision? Tasty, honest food and deeper food access for everyone. That means real ingredients you can pronounce, pastured hens basking in the sun, and empowerment through food education thicker than the best slice of sourdough toast.
Sourdough, Microgreens, Eggs & Plenty More—Raising the (Bread) Bar at North Texas Markets
A perfect bakery start: Allison’s humble loaves quickly became market favorites. Now fans line up for tender sourdough, vibrant microgreens, eggs from Joel Salatin-inspired pasture flocks, wholesome pecans, and local fruit. Whether it’s watching Allison teach seed planting or tasting her rye pretzels, customers say Holmestead stands apart for its ethos of nourishment, transparency, and community care.
Here’s just one rave review:

What Makes The Holmestead Special?
1. Sourdough Bread & Baked Goods
Artful, mindfully-made loaves are the Holmestead standard. Only three straightforward ingredients—organic flour, filtered water, sea salt—fermented up to 36 hours for rich flavor and happy guts. Look for frequent seasonal flavors!
2. Microgreens
Lush, lively microgreens (radish, broccoli, arugula, sunflower, and pea shoots) grow indoors, all-organic, with toxin-free care (nothing but essential oils and distilled water have touched those trays).
3. Chicken Eggs—Farm-Fresh and Pasture-Raised
Field-roaming poultry are pampered—pecking bugs, munching microgreens, making those orange-rich yolks you dream about.
4. Seasonal Produce & Pecans
As the seasons change, look for fresh fare and local Parker County pecans (baker’s and snacker’s delight).
5. Community Education
Catch Allison engaging in hands-on seed and growing demos—passionately inspiring the next generation of growers.
