I appreciate your kind words about my art work! I created the Strawberry outlaw statue for my cousins amazing produce western theme stand! Lum’s produce Stand is one of a kind! Thanks Tampa Jay for stopping by!

[@simply_kim62]

You are the sweetest person who really cares about those hard working people. Always love your content! Much ahead.

[@TampaJay]

My friend appreciate you and your comment. Thank you.

[@nancyfigueroa9032]

I have been watching you for years. You get me through my workday without your calming voice and cool videos I would go stir crazy. Thank you 😊😊😊😊

[@kristena.1010]

It’s nice to hear that you are recognizing the strawberry field workers.

[@TampaJay]

They don’t get enough credit! Thank you for watching

[@JK-dp6ye]

​@@TampaJay it is indeed hardwork and low pay by our standards. However, most is sent back to their Countries and families where such pay is better sadly (& yes, good luck finding Gen Z or any other to do it; technology is the issue perhaps). But, any quick look at demographics to pick this or that, drastically changes all aspects of the community and birthrate levels (which is instantly a legal us citizen). So, it comes at a cost to what a community may have been. Thousands of communities changed from 90% European-American to less than 35% since 1990 of these communities. From schools to libraries, that is an entire new World regardless of pc or not pc views.

[@michaelweaver3961]

Used to visit my grandparents in Venice. I remember pelican Pete’s and sharky’s

[@debbiestephenson9896]

Cool 😎 Video

[@trish5556]

Great video. I sure wish we could get Plant City strawberries up here in Kentucky. You always seem to show something that triggers a memory for me from when I lived in the Tampa Bay area and other parts of Florida. My Mom got her first teaching job at an elementary school in Plant City. It was not desegregated yet and was all black. She loved it. When you mentioned the high school, I forgot I went there from KHS on the school bus for a football game. It was raining and we lost, but it was fun.

[@debbiestephenson9896]

Thank u 😊

[@kimberlylyerly2207]

Love, Love Strawberries! 🍓 Thank you for taking us along with you. Oh yes, my friend, Cris needs a hanging strawberry plant basket for ya'll to enjoy! ❤ Hugs 🤗 and God bless 🙏 Looking forward to the Strawberry Festival with ya'll! 🍓🍓🍓

[@J-dn1tv]

What a wonderful video Jay!! These kinds of videos are what I enjoy most- thank you for finding, filming and sharing this “hidden gem”🍓🍓🍓

[@WolverineMikey]

Come see me at one of the Wish Farms booths at the festival. I'm there some evenings and weekends! Saw you at Sir Henry's and hopefully at the festival!

[@sajtheboss2192]

I think the cowboys strawberry name should be sheriff strawobs and wonderful video and i just love mom and pop roadside attractions as well 🤠

[@llliden7724]

That Trans Am was AMAZING. My ex had one when I met him. Same ,only brown. Had the bird on front too! Loved that car! He traded it in for a Fiat. God only knows why.

[@disneydreamer98]

Really enjoyed this video Jay. Originally from Northern Michigan and my grandma was the same way with canning everything from my grandpa’s garden. Their old cellar was filled with enough jars to supply our entire family all year until the next crops! My favorites were her canned tomatoes and beets too! What I wouldn’t give to have another jar of each and her here again.❤️ Maybe our paths with cross at the Strawberry Festival!

[@waterhorse5199]

🍓 I’m surprised that strawberry patch is out there in the open. Anyone can walk over and help themselves!!

[@Shelly-in-Tampa]

Best strawberry shake in the US !!!! Parksdale

[@thefinerthingsinlife4557]

Thank you for showing my car too.

[@dennisud]

Nice to see that Strawberry Hut with a great selection. Wow, a place selling Cuban Sandwiches nearby! NICE! And Parkesdale Market, nice to be able to get more strawberry goodies throughout the year.

[@micksimmonds]

Nice to see plant city, lived there for many years and miss the place, love the hut and it's Cubans!!

[@jamesharper5545]

You should try a home made peach milk shake. French vanilla ice cream, heavy syrup peaches, can. And add a half spoon of sugar ❤❤❤❤❤❤ From Gwynn and James Spokane Washington ❤

[@angelr8910]

I loved the video!! So sad I’m allergic to strawberries. Well any berry and tomatoes.

[@chrisbrown2191]

Wildwood has a great produce market and the semi trucks being loaded to ship to northern markets.

[@ChristopherHovis]

Good video keep it up ❤

[@lauriestull1077]

Thank you. I am going to take a whole day and just hang out at Plant City. I am only 30 minutes Away. I. Enjoyed. Everything. I love to check out that placeand had the animals that's pretty cool. Thank you so much. ❤😊

[@FlyNai]

Great content!!!

[@TampaJay]

Thank you

[@lesliegriffith9830]

My mom canned tomatoes, sweet pickles, corn, green beans and peaches that came from Colorado's western slope. Come to Colorado in August when the peaches come. By the way, Colorado's Buc-ees opens March 18 next month. Just north of Denver.

[@thefinerthingsinlife4557]

[@MoviemaniaNick]

I should of counted how many times you said Strawberry Festival throughout your vlog. lol Those are cool Chevy Cars!

[@gabecoron6936]

Wonderful video of the festival rides setting up, have you ever thought about making a video about fairs and events like this to see the rides being setup in person and racked? It would be interesting to me if you'd done one

[@ronniecrain509]

My Buddy's son work's at the Bowling Green KY Corvette plant. He could have helped build that corvette .

[@PeterRamselaar]

[@llliden7724]

Good advice. I didn’t find out till too late.

[@timmythomas4273]

ratatouille is one of my favorite movies 🎬

[@ChristopherHovis]

Last time I went to the doctor everything was elevated

[@colinwithey6792]

My nephew works at the real strawberry fields how cools that ? My family has heart disease too my blood tests are Wednesday my cholesterol had come down from borderline diabetic so fingers crossed. Yes I watch what I eat too

[@yo-hanprek-tel9419]

😂😂 dude... tell me the Buffalo didnt dookie after it turned around.

[@TampaJay]

It sure did hahaha good catch

[@chrisbrown2191]

I am looking for the Florida grown strawberries in Southern Indiana grocery stores.

[@frostproof20]

I believe you broke the record for saying the most “strawberry” in this video 😂

[@TampaJay]

Mission accomplished lol

[@jameslockard6956]

The Strawberry Festival almost died after the Interstate system was constructed a lot of effort was done to keep it alive. Another story to be investigating. 😊

[@KdoggMkeyy]

Was watching say in my chair LoL 😂 the chair 💺 broke I actually hurt my leg 🦵 went to the hospital it was so bad tore my Achilles tendon and knees ACL having surgery tomorrow morning watching in the hospital drinking strawberry 🍓 milk eating strawberries waffles with bananas LoL 😂 muchly muchly 💯 love Tampa Jay and Cris The Girl muchly 💯 love

[@MyLaland]

What’s the strawberry stand called?

[@chrisbrown2191]

A lot of these people picking strawberries will be coming North to plant and pick melons during the summer and fall

[@ronduarte358]

Why didn't you show the pickup at the dealership at whole fifty sixth that you standing in

[@TampaJay]

It’s still there if you want to go see it

[@bdbgypsy68]

man i could smell them strawberries yum yum oh sorry but Braves won lol

[@KassidyGinn]

They must be illegal. Why else would you pick strawberries for $3 an hour ?

[@TampaJay]

They are not. They are are here on work visas and therefor the owners of the farms do not have to pay them minimum wage. Happy to educate you.

[@KassidyGinn]

@@TampaJay oh ok I see. Thanks for the info.

[@showguyer]

Its pitiful they come over here and places like that can't pay them at least minimum wage. It's disgusting honestly, should be illegal.

[@johnnyjesus8]

Lol I love you Jay but man you are way off $3 an hour maybe back in 1990! The strawberry workers make No less then $10:50cents to $15 an hour. Look it up.
