W.V. Rainey Greenhouses began as a hobby in the early 1950's. William and Hattie began selling tomato plants to local seed and feed stores in Denton. It became a business in 1958 with William leaving his job at Texas Woman's University. The market expanded into Dallas Ft. Worth and the surrounding areas with the product line increasing. Quality has always been important to the Rainey family as well as variety.

Country Greenhouses, Inc. was established in July of 1984, and has been supplying Central Texas with quality plants at great prices for 30 years. Jack Johnson has been in the greenhouse business for over 40 years, starting with his brother at Johnson Greenhouses, in Corpus Christi, TX in 1976. From there, he went on to start his own greenhouse in Martindale, TX. Jack decided to move the business to Lexington, TX for two reasons, to be in a more central location, and where the water was good.
