Parks Brothers Farm company history timeline

1898

Kinder Farm Park is named for a German immigrant family who made multiple land purchases in Millersville beginning in 1898.

1940

They grew fruits and vegetables for sale at markets in the Baltimore region until the late 1940’s.

1960

By 1960 the farmland was operated by the four sons of Henry Sr.: Eddie, Henry Jr., August, and Albert.

1964

Anne Arundel County established a charter form of government in 1964.

In 1964 the Brothers built their first greenhouse and grew their first tomato transplants.

1975

By 1975, the Brothers were making a better living growing bedding plants than they were farming so they started focusing less on the farming and more on the greenhouses.

1979

In 1979 the four sons of Henry Sr. decided to sell the remaining 288 acres to Anne Arundel County to help preserve farm history and open space in an ever developing region.

2010

In 2010 Parks Bros. became the authorized Stepables® grower for the south.

Confetti Gardens were the big hit in 2010 along with ALL of our hanging baskets and our line of Charley Vegetables and Herbs.

2013

For most of the spring of 2013 the weeks went like this: early in the week it rains, then gets cold or freezes mid-week, everyone wants their orders delivered on Thursday/Friday, Saturdays are cool but nice then Sunday is warmer and clear and repeat again.

Be sure to check out our New Plants page for spring 2013 to see what’s been changed or added.
