Parksdale Farm Market

Parksdale Farm Market is an out-of-the-way seller of fruits and vegetables located in Parksdale, Florida.

It specializes in locally grown strawberries, citrus, unpasteurized orange juice and raw peanuts, which it sells at prices that are far less than you'll find at a grocery store. It also has a fair selection and good prices on a number of other non-local fruits and vegetables. Most of the selection is not organic.

Founded in 1956, Parksdale Farm has grown into a massive operation that harvests three million pounds of strawberries as well as red grape fruit, navel, temple and valencia oranges, tangerines, tangelos and vegetables from several hundred acres of land around central Florida. The Market, which opened in the 1960s, sells this produce to the local population.

While I thought their strawberries (which they're famous for) were merely ok, I'd rate the quality of the oranges and other citrus as very high. I also really enjoyed their raw peanuts and unpasteurized orange juice. A large bag of raw peanuts goes for $2, and a half bushel basket of Valencia oranges costs $6
