Abandoned Nickerson Farms - Summer 2022 

One of those open spaces would have been a huge beehive behind plexiglass so you could see the inner workings. I've such fond memories of various Nickerson Farms, but this one meant I was close to my grandparents. It was my favourite. 💙

Where at in Missouri? When I was a kid, I dont think ours had the plexiglass, cuz I distinctly remember dodging bees! That honey butter and fresh bread was all worth it though! My grandmother and I, and sometimes my mom or aunts, went fairly frequently. We went to the one off of S. 71 Hwy. in Harrisonville, Missouri. Such fond memories! 😊❤

Nice video, Ben, glad to see you back!

Magnificent.

Cool

@bxx32 Hey Ben, glad to see that you are still shooting video. I just watched the #13 abandoned house from 2012. I noticed your voice in that video sounded a little higher pitched. Could’ve been how your camera was recording the sound. I’m glad to see that you are hanging in there with RU-vid.

hay ben welcome back man

OMG I love this place! It has some rustic charm and looks like it was a great place at one time. Thank you for filming this old forgotten place. I wonder what is in those containers?

from all the research ive done (wiki is incomplete/incorrect in parts) reading blogs ppls memories etc NF opened in mid 1960's (couldnt find exact dates) best guess is 1965 and closed in 1980s again best guess is 1985. it changed hands 3x in its life. just one day in the 80s the waitresses cooks (but not upper management like managers etc) and couldnt get in. nobody before hand was notified this was gonna happen. however fowlerville farms in fowlerville michgan ive been told it has been in continuous operation since opening cause when the others closed this one stayed opened. most NF's sold Skelly products but in some areas like michigan it sold marathon products. theres not many (grainy pics of the inside) pictures. it had a gift shop and a sit down restaurant inside. in the gift shop portion you could buy on site honey products and learn about the bees. the storage unit across the street was once a gas station. east side of the high hill NF's sat a stuckeys. it was torn down years ago. usually if there was a stuckeys IJ nickerson built his NF's next to it or near by. always on a major highway or interstate. IJ nickerson used to work at a stuckeys and didnt like the rules so he created his own chain. last time the bathroom window was opened. never saw the inside but was told furniture was stored in there? but it looks like it might be mostly intact which would make it the only NF in the world to be. nice job! idk how i missed this vid. another guy i think lives in missouri captured around the same time you did. hugs love and bee safe :D

I'm surprised that nobody repurposed that building way back when, I was in one maybe 40 years ago south of Kansas City that was repurposed into a fireworks outlet I was installing some equipment in it. There used to be one just off I-70 in Columbia as well but I don't recall seeing it for a few years now

Woohoo! 4th view! Great old building, I like the style of it. Too bad it looks like it may fall down soon. Good to see you Ben!

Cool to see the place is still standing there. Cool German look as well.
