Located deep in the heart of Texas, Holmes Smokehouse was founded in 1970 by Luvine Holmes. From a small meat locker in Rosenberg Texas, Luvine developed our award-winning sausage recipe. Luvine believed that when making sausage:
“You can’t make a good sausage cheap, and you can’t make a cheap sausage good!”
