EP 45: More Than a Farm: The Legacy of Eckert’s
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
For generations, Eckert's has been part of family traditions across the St. Louis region, from picking peaches and strawberries to fall festivals, cider donuts, and Christmas trees.
In Episode 45, I sit down with Chris Eckert to talk about how a family farm grew into one of the region’s most beloved destinations. We discuss the history of Eckert’s, how the business has evolved over the years, and what it takes to keep a multi-generational family operation thriving while continuing to create memorable experiences for families year after year.
From seasonal traditions to the future of agritourism, this episode is all about community, connection, and the memories so many St. Louisans have made at Eckert’s.
