Founded in 1944 by Nell Hickman, what began as a few hens for fresh eggs for the family has grown into a local egg icon, with a processing capacity for shell eggs of more than ¾ million eggs per hour. Still, family owned and operated, Hickman’s Family Farms is the go-to local favorite for the best farm fresh eggs available, as well as being the largest egg company in the Southwest and in the top 20 nationwide.
