A new school year is bringing big things for FFA students across Lake Wales!

From restoring land laboratories and beginning new livestock projects to preparing for leadership retreats, Bok North and Bok South FFA members spent the summer laying the groundwork for another year of hands-on agricultural education. We introduce the new Milton Bryan Junior FFA Chapter and follows Lake Wales Senior FFA as its State Champion Agricultural Sales Team prepares to represent Florida at the National FFA Convention.

Meet the students preparing to lead, learn and serve in this month’s Polk County In The Field Magazine, available in print or at inthefieldmagazine.com.

A move to Polk County and a desire to become more self-sufficient turned into something Angela and Tony Quinonez never expected: a family farm school.

At ATHOME-stead Family Farm in Polk City, the Quinonez family combines faith, agriculture and hands-on education to help children learn skills like caring for animals, gardening, composting and making farm-based products. Their Rising Farmers Academy goes even further with seasonal programs, homeschool field trips and opportunities for teens to learn practical outdoor and preparedness skills.

Discover how their unexpected homesteading journey became a mission by grabbing a copy of In The Field Magazine or reading the article at inthefieldmagazine.com.

Fresh sourdough, a self-serve farmstand and a whole lot of heart are behind one growing Polk County small business.

Some things change. Some things never do. 🍓

For more than nine decades, generations have walked through our gates, creating memories that become traditions of their own.

The midway. The livestock shows. The music. The strawberry shortcake. The people you come with — and the people you meet along the way. The Florida Strawberry Festival continues to grow and evolve, but at its heart, so much of what makes it special remains the same.

Our 2027 theme, “A Timeless Tradition,” celebrates those familiar moments while taking a little inspiration from our past. This year’s artwork reimagines one of the Festival’s early Berry characters from the late 1970s — bringing a piece of Festival history forward with a fresh new personality.

Because the years may change, but the memories keep growing.

Here’s to the traditions that bring us back. 🍓
