People ask us why Brookshire. The honest answer is that an aunt of one of our founders had a barn and said yes. Then it became something more deliberate.

Brookshire sits on the western edge of Greater Houston. It has the institutional fabric of a town that knows itself — a working church, an active VFD, an ISD that hasn t lost its small-school texture — and it has open land. Both matter for what we re trying to do.
