Followed, I hope,  by a visit on Tuesday to Sarasota's Tropical Fruit Society?!??
If only it was a little closer, that's an hour each way on a school night for me....

I'd like to try and go to this. It's open/free to non-members? And there's enough room for visitors? Thanks!

Yes there’s no fee and you don’t have to be a member.

Bump for tonight.

Probably going to bring some mangos for the tasting table.

I don’t make it over there very often unfortunately . In fact it’s been a couple years. Hard to find the time to do these between having to pull away from the farm and time spent writing the presentations.

I have spoken to the Nokomis club several times in years past.

I just got an email this morning from the Tropical Fruit Society of Sarasota, they are shutting down for good this month

But that still leaves you with Manatee Rare Fruit Council, right?

Yeah, but that's pretty far with the traffic we have now (~1 hour each way). Nokomis is closer.
