At the turn of the century, German Coast Italian farmers grew “truck” crops and took them to packing sheds. Shown is the Christina Packing Shed in Kenner with several St. Rose farmers and their wagons. Crops were shipped by rail across the entire country. In later years a packing facility was opened in St. Rose—the Vitrano Packing Shed. (St. Charles Herald Profile, August 15, 1991)
