Meadow, Texas
Meadow is a town in Terry County on the flat, semi-arid High Plains of the South Plains region, about 27 miles southwest of Lubbock. It sits amid the cotton country that has long defined Terry County's farm economy, and in recent decades the surrounding sandy-loam fields have become a center of Texas wine-grape growing, with vineyards and grape-processing operations established in and around the town.
