The Robinettes Interview

Jim and Bethel Robinette

In 1912, Jim Robinette’s grandfather and Ohio businessman Barzilla Robinette purchased 136 acres of prime farmland, approximately seven miles northeast of Grand Rapids. His son, Edward, wasn’t too sure he wanted to farm. But his grandson, Jim Robinette, never doubted his future. He and his wife Bethel talk about their life together as they built Robinette’s Apple Haus & Winery into one of the best known fruit orchards and tourist destinations in Kent County. Later in their interview, their grandson Allan Robinette joins them. (Running Time :44:52)
