The "Lucas Farms Packer and Processors" were the first big industrial plan developed in Mesquite TX, and it in operation for many years. It was located southeast of Mesquite, TX on Mercury Road. The dairy farm was founded by Greek immigrant Falthon P. Lucas who came to Dallas in 1910. Lucas was one of the first to express concern about the local conservation. His philosophy was carved at the entrance of the farms. "Top soil the course of all life, is the duty of every good citizen to conserve what's there and to rebuild what others destroy."
The farm which was still owned by his descendants was downsized in later years. There is still an operational restaurant by the name of "Lucas B & B Restaurant", on Oak Lawn in Dallas, TX. It has been in business for many years.
