Longtime fruit farm in Bradenton being sold
Kimberly Kuizon reports
BRADENTON, Fla. - There are only five months left to enjoy a refreshing orange and vanilla swirled ice cream at Mixon Fruit Farms. The family farm is on the market.
"It’s hard because you see all these things that used to be going on here, but now it’s dwindled down to almost nothing. It makes it sad," said Janet Mixon.
Almost 85 years ago, Mixon’s started as a fruit stand outside the home of Dean Mixon’s grandparents. It eventually transformed into what so many know and love today.
"Everybody remembers riding into Florida with all the citrus trees, the smell of the orange blossoms," said Janet.
In the mid '90s, citrus farmers began dealing with citrus greening and disease.
"Once NAFTA came into this country, starting bringing every disease and bug you can think of into this country, for not just citrus, but every farmer," said Janet.
The Mixon family had to eventually sell land, shrinking their original 350 acres to a mere 39 ½.
"We tried to diversify by adding different things. We added the tram. We added the wine counter for tasting, we added animals. The wedding. We kept trying to add things to make up for the things we were just losing," said Janet.
Janet and Dean Mixon made the difficult decision to list the property.
"It’s a very sad thing. It’s been sad every stage," said Janet.
Florida once had 350 small citrus farmers, Janet Mixon said less than 20 remain.
"They’re all feeling the same pressure that we have. Each of us in different ways, but it feels like you are getting run out of business. It’s a good thing we can retire, but a sad thing people can no longer come here," she said.
Mixon’s Fruit Farm will close their doors on July 29. You’ll still be able to find the swirl ice cream cones around town. Janet will be selling them from a food truck, as a new chapter begins.
The Mixons are planning several events before they close their doors, including a murder mystery luncheon on March 24 and a visit from the Easter bunny on March 25. On May 13 they will host 84 years of Mixon Memories.

Re: Higgenbotham's Dark Age Hovel
The Clintons finally got one more with ongoing destruction from NAFTA. Only a few more small Florida citrus growers left to get rid of.
While the periphery breaks down rather slowly at first, the capital cities of the hegemon should collapse suddenly and violently.
Re: Higgenbotham's Dark Age Hovel
As we discussed recently the strategy of tension and root kits never went away.
Leveraged to effect while the Senate is relegated to the condition chosen for it and in it.
Yes, they will deny scope and scale as they are. It was noted they now need permission
to allow the dead the truth of gain of function also. Do no harm went to do not be evil
and is now what it is as the Flower Shop. All I can witness is some good souls did tell us they would as before.
Willing to wear the chains in Plato's Cave. I did not mind losing power for 3.5 days since it proves 99.99 appeared
to like darkness.

I had said Wall Street would whistle past the graveyard on this one.
I feel they like shovels thinking they are not going to meet the true Owner.
To be clear more than a few Educators core focus is all we need is ditch diggers as the loons indeed run the show now.
They contend the raw material is contaminated. Neat trick without the snow shovels paradox.
To a degree of the four soils and as we noted see what it takes for them to leave us alone
since they are from the Government here to help. Even the crayon cheers ignore that warning
in far too many zones now.
Anyways some light reading for the Crayola's.

I'm pleased to welcome Bill Clinton's son Danney Williams to my Dark Age Hovel. Welcome, Danney!

Assume of hell of nice guy since we went to what Solzhenitsyn knew was correct about "the lie has become not just a moral category but a pillar of the State." Useful idiot woke bots are cluster density failure mapping to effective sweep avoidances.

Re: Higgenbotham's Dark Age Hovel
Exactly, you're reading my mind. As long as they've knocked the Wuhan lab leak conspiracy fact off the list this week, why not go back in time and knock a few more obvious conspiracy facts off the list. No, we don't need DNA samples to know that Danney Williams is Bill Clinton's son any more than we need Anthony Fauci to confirm that the virus escaped out of the Wuhan lab.aeden wrote: ↑Wed Mar 01, 2023 6:07 pmAssume of hell of nice guy since we went to what Solzhenitsyn knew was correct about "the lie has become not just a moral category but a pillar of the State."

If this is what passes for debate on "important" issues in a national news magazine, we are doomed. It's not worth taking the time to comment on except to say it is clear evidence in my mind that the US has entered a new dark age. It's extremely poorly written and extremely poorly thought out.

That's unbelievably awful. Doesn't Time magazine have editors?

Re: Higgenbotham's Dark Age Hovel
Did anyone think that this country was ever held together by anything but money? Once Christianity was gone, that was all that was left.
Who runs the banks and the media?
When no one pays attention the Constitution anymore, how does America even exist civically?
What made America great? The people who founded it. Now they are hated.
That's the modern age in a nutshell: hate the most competent people.
