I recently visited a couple of old Nickerson Farms locations in Ohio and Michigan that are still operating as restaurants for my blog devoted to obscure restaurant and retail chains. I'd be honored if you gave my blog entry on the subject a read. You can find it here:
There's another one close by still standing too. https://www.google.com/maps/@29.6949304,-96.8467436,3a,45.5y,150.69h,91.53t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1syFMPCN4Uvw7QOxadobmUYw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656
Excuse me, I found out about these restaurants 3 years ago and they intrigued me to the point of mild obsession. I think I found the closest pictures to operating one on a listing. Check it out https://www.landsofamerica.com/property/1.75-acres-in-Jefferson-County-Missouri/136222/

Did you start your working life at Nickerson Farms? Do you remember the tall red roof and bee hive? Miss the hot loaf of bread and honey butter? Well, you are at the right place. This blog is intended to be a gathering place for all NF Alumni. Over the next few months I will post pictures and information. I welcome your input, memories and thoughts.
The best remaining example of an original Nickersons. This one is located halfway between Tuscon and Phoenix and represents two which existed in Arizona. There were two more planned, but they were never completed. Next week some menu scans. If you ever waited a table at NF this is a familiar view. Looking from the wait station into the kitchen. Plates of chicken fried steak, Farmers Platters, and Traveler's Farm Plates crossed from the cook out to the tables of hungry people. Just put the ticket up and give it a spin. Wait station mess. Milk machine on left with exit door just ahead. Someone took the paneling off the wall (don't know why) so you can see the insulation.
