Who we are
Family owned & Operated
Duclops Ranch, LLC is a locally owned business started in 2019 by Ron and Maggie Adams. We originally began with two manufactured home rentals and one shop rental. Today, we have grown to three manufactured homes, a shop and five horse stalls that we rent.
In 2023, we started our own chicken hatchery. We will hatch and sell close to 3,000 chicks in 2023. Our flock of hens and roosters are all PT Tested to ensure they are healthy and disease free and are inspected and registered through the Texas Animal Health Commission each year. All of our chickens are organically fed and have time to free ranch. No antibiotics, hormones or chemicals are ever used.
In 2022, we began raising pigs that are a Hampshire York cross breed. All of our pigs are organically fed and no antibiotics, hormones or chemicals are ever used. We work with a locally owned and family operated butcher, who through their processing plant received USDA approval for the Duclops Ranch, LLC private label meat product. All of our pork that is processed is individually frozen and wrapped by weight under this private label.
We grow our own produce each year and provide a slightly different variety each year. We should know by April what our 2023 selection will be and look forward to your inquiry about what we have available.
We are proud to participate in the Canyon Farmers Market on the square in Canyon, Texas each year. Our 11 year old twin boys, Orrin and Quincy, help with set up, selling, and tear down at the market, as well as being responsible for gathering eggs and feeding/watering our flock – with our help, of course! Our niece, Zayna Henderson has also become an integral part of our Ranch, working onsite daily to help us keep things running and grow our operation.
Our Mission
Duclops Ranch, LLC is committed to providing healthy farm to table products without hormones or any additives to any of its animals, eggs, pork or produce and to provide the highest quality products available in the Panhandle and surrounding areas. We are proud to have established a local family owned and operated chicken hatchery in the Panhandle of Texas. Unlike most other physical or online hatteries, hatches a variety of chicken breeds year-round!
