Our small Amish store gets things trucked in. So the strawberries were trucked in from Florida. There's an Amish connection outside of Sarasota in Pinecraft, Florida. Old saying here, what happens in Pinecraft stays in Pinecraft. Those Amish get to use electricity and still call themselves Old Order. Where the widows go to find a new mate. Ha Ha. Also get peaches from Colorado every year, and pears and apples from I don't know where. Locally grown and sold here are: grapes, rhubarb, some strawberries, some pears, lots of melon like watermelon and cantaloupe, squash of all types, cabbage, lettuce, tomatoes, green beans. Wheat, soybean, milo, and sunflower is what is mostly grown in the fields here, and also alfalfa for animal feed.
Hey Big Paul...is that like what I call Shepherd's Pie? (hamburger, vegetables, with mashed potatoes and cheese on top?)
