About us !

Ramage Farms was established in October of 1955 when Jewel and Elizabeth Ramage moved to Hooks from the drought stricken Central Texas town of Hico. Producing oats, soybeans, and coastal hay, the farm thrived in the Red River bottoms.

In 1960, Jewel reconditioned an old pecan orchard on the farm and began selling pecans to local friends and neighbors. In 1978, Brent Ramage, a recent graduate of Texas A & M University, chose to return to the family farm and put his degree in agronomy to work. During the early 1980’s, Brent built a country store out of an old mule barn, offering pecans from that same orchard on the farm, as well as homemade preserves and pecan brittle. Eventually, that seasonal holiday gift business has turned into a year round business, with more than fifty products available. With the success of the on-farm business, the store was relocated to its current residence at 901 Main Street off Interstate 30. Here, one can find various flavors of jams and jellies, specialty coffees and teas, and delicious candies and fudge. Many of the delectable treats are made right here on the farm or locally. What is represented in the food product line is some of the best that Texas has to offer.
