Episode 164
We begin our episode with a Florida location we've not discussed previously: Alva.
Our guest is JB Miller, a Mennonite who grew up in Pinecraft next to Sarasota in the 60s and 70s. A community of Mennonite and Amish farmers started coming to the area to farm in the 1930s and has persisted ever since. No longer farming, tourism is now the top draw.
"Welcome to Florida" is presented by WindstormProducts.com, a Florida company and the world's largest online retailer of hurricane hardware to protect your home from hurricane wind damage.
