TEX&CO Country Store was born from a simple idea: that our farm could nourish the community and our store could be a place to gather.
TEX&CO Country Store is more than a storefront. It’s a space where neighbors connect, local goods shine, and the rhythms of rural life are celebrated. Whether you’re picking up tomatoes fresh from our fields, discovering a handmade soap from a nearby maker, or simply stopping by to say hello - we’re glad you’re here.
Jennifer Hooper & David Dent
TEX&CO Country Store and Hooper Dent Farms are our next chapter.
After two decades living and working around the world, we come home to East Texas with a new mission: to build something rooted, real, and community-driven. At the heart of TEX&CO Country Store is Hooper Dent Farms, our family farm where fresh, sustainable produce is grown with care and purpose. It’s how we nourish our community - one harvest at a time.
TEX&CO Country Store is more than a business. It’s a reflection of our values: authenticity, connection, and local impact. We’ve blended Jennifer’s passion for sustainability and customer connection with David’s background in helping people and a lifelong connection to agriculture.

🌾 Rural revitalization that honors East Texas heritage and future
TEX&CO Country Store is powered with a whole lot of grit, and the belief that small-town stores can spark big impact.
