It doesn’t get more authentic than this — a five course gourmet “Farm to Fork” dinner from Orlando’s own Homegrown Local Food Cooperative using only ingredients hand-picked that morning from their organic growers.
I did a taste test of the varieties of Florida-grown citrus a few years ago and discovered that for juice the Valencia is king. There’s nothing sweeter and more refreshing than a glass of chilled orange juice squeezed from the Valencia orange—and March is when the harvest begins. So this weekend I plan to buy a bushel at the D&L Groves fruit stand off Interstate 95 at exit 298 St. Augustine (turn east and the stand’s on the north side of the highway).
Here's a taste of Florida’s home-grown produce, best time to purchase and where.
