Happy National Farmers Day!
Did you know Florida has approximately 44,400 farms and ranches? From citrus groves and strawberries to sugarcane fields, watermelons, fresh vegetables, and cattle ranches, Florida agriculture is something to be proud of.
Behind every harvest are hardworking farmers and ranchers who dedicate their time, energy, and passion to feeding families and supporting our communities. It isn’t always an easy job, but we are thankful that you have chosen to tend the fields and raise your crops, livestock, and families in this way of life that is hard, but yet rewarding.
So today we celebrate you, the hands that plant, grow, harvest, and keep Florida agriculture and say THANK YOU for all you do. Consumers, please do your part by supporting your local farmer by shopping local when you can.
