Most of us know that our ancestors were farmers.   Our patriarch, John N. Fister and his first wife, Anna Grosser, started  with truck gardening.  At the time of Anna's death in 1902, the Lexington Morning Herald reported that they were among the largest land owners in Fayette County, Kentucky.

Here's one of the well known farms:

   Bi-Water Farm & Greenhouse
