As you can imagine the market has been super busy this week during the Florida Strawberry Festival. We’ve been running around restocking shelves as fast as we can to keep up with all of our customers. We finally made it to the Festival this past Tuesday. Here are some pictures from our night at the Florida Strawberry Festival.
Our first stop is always the Roy and Helen Parke Main Exhibition Hall. That’s where our farm and greenhouse have their booth.
The Florida Strawberry Festival has a different theme each year. This year’s theme is “Florida’s Best Family Recipe”. Between our strawberry cookies, strawberry shortcake and strawberry milkshakes we definitively have some great family recipes.
Our Parkesdale Greenhouses also has a booth at the Florida Strawberry Festival. You can find great ornamental, vegetable and fruit plants at our booth. After visiting the family, it was time for some food and rides.
You definitively want to come hungry to the Florida Strawberry Festival. There are so many great food choices. You can smell the bbq everywhere you go.
As always, the girls had a great time running from ride to ride. It was a bit different this year. We didn’t go in the kiddie section. They wanted to ride all the roller coasters and rides like this one below.
Thankfully, they settled for this one instead.
A visit to the Florida Strawberry Festival would not be complete without our yearly picture.
I’m hoping to go back before its over for a strawberry shortcake donut, an Amish donut and some fried cheese. I have till Sunday to make it there.
