Specific Event Details

Grimm Bros. was a truck farm located at Ann Arbor Trail and Wayne Road, which operated from the early 1900s to the late 1950s. This talk describes, with photos, a small two-man family farm operation and how they sold their produce on Western and Eastern Markets in Detroit. It provides an interesting look into farming and selling of produce during that time which was a lot different than the supermarkets of today.
