So each year the farm opens the season with a new exhibit. This year, thanks to Jim, we have an awesome addition. With Wagner Farm originally a truck farm it only seems logical that we needed an exhibit on what truck farming was and its importance here in Chicago. Once we had the idea it was time for the design and construction. Jim who was an agricultural engineer prior to his career as a farmer was the perfect man for the job. He designed a wagon off pictures of old produce wagons that were actually at the Water Street market. We got a fiberglass draft horse and Carlin painted it to look like an old grey Percheron. The end product was just perfect. A great way to start the season! Thanks Jim
