Our Story
Hall’s Farm wasn’t always located in the middle of a bustling city called Grapevine in Texas. In fact, when Jess Hall purchased his first piece of farmland in 1929, the city had fewer than 1,000 residents.
Back then, Jess started his farm with just a double-shovel plow and one mule. In 1930, he built his home that today still stands on the road that bears his name -Hall-Johnson.
Through the years, Jess was noted for his tomatoes and cantaloupe, although he also grew watermelons. From about 1956-1970, Jess and his wife Ruth operated a dairy as well. The Halls had 2 children, Jessie Lou Hall Nelson and Marvin Hall.

Today, Jessie Lou’s children live on what is left of the farm.
Located at the corner of Pool and Hall-Johnson Road, approximately 45 acres remain undeveloped. As one of the last working farms in the area, our family hopes to continue the tradition by maintaining the rural atmosphere.
We welcome you to come enjoy the cows grazing around the pasture
and, as always, we thank you for supporting our farm!
