The county’s produce was proudly displayed in abundance in the Ag Building. It’s a real feat to grow a giant pumpkin for an August fair, but some one did it and won a blue ribbon for the effort. Gorgeous tomatoes of all varieties and sizes filled long tables. Underwood Farms had a beautiful display of virtually every vegetable ever seen on an American table. They are famous for tiny, succulent vegetables but grow many other crops including great tasting blueberries. I can’t think of a fruit or vegetable that is not grown in this county. A fellow even grew bananas commercially up until a few years ago when he had a dispute with his landlord and got kicked off the land, bananas and all.

It’s wise to remember: Never bite the hand that feeds you.
