DUETTE — An older couple turned up at Wish Farms' strawberry fields in a strawberry red Ford SUV. Johnny and Linda Carson, bean and corn farmers from Missouri, were curious about Wish, which has the largest organic strawberry operation in Florida.
Gary Wishnatzki, Wish Farms CEO, extended a hand. "I'm Gary," he said.
"We didn't get any crops this year because of flooding," Johnny told him.
"Sorry to hear that."
Wishnatzki walked over to a flatbed truck and picked up a few containers of fresh-picked berries for his guests. Johnny gave him a bottle of his own organic honey in return.
