Good morning readers! I hope everyone had a great weekend and a giid kickstart to their week. I think I can finally say I’m on the mend, I hope. It feels like when I feel like myself again, a wave of the gross comes back, but I’m in my writing spot before I have to get on with the grind and the air is crisp. Well, as crisp as Florida gets before we are blasted by the humidity and heat from all of our sins and transgressions. But on Sunday I visited that farmer’s market I briefly mentioned on my last post, I figured some sunshine would help and a change of scenery, so let’s brew about it!
Fox Squirrel Corn Maze is not even twenty minutes away from me, just in a more rural part of Plant City( obviously). It was a gorgeous secluded spot way off from the main road under a canopy of large chunky trees. It was like a Renaissance fair, just without the knights, elves and fire breathers. They had a few structures that were built for year round use including the main one being a barn. The barn itself housed trinkets to buy, a shop of fresh cut flowers and 2 spots to get frozen and ice drinks as well as sweets.
Although feeling weak it was nice to be walking under large trees and to go on my very first tractor ride, yes I know, I never been on one but it was nice to cruise around the “country side,” side of my town and the corn maze was another first as well. The corn stalks were tall and filled with people with the children darting in and out of the paths. A very relaxing and non horror based day. (Not that I’m complaining or lamenting).
My wallet didn’t make it out of there alive, I ended buying spicy pickles from The Pickle Patch, Maple Bacon jelly from Fox Squirrel Corn Maze itself, and a top from Sweet Roots Apparel. I’m super excited with all my goodies and finished the day with a frozen apple cider bedecked with a apple cider donut. Although feeling out of sorts I’m glad I went and I’m keen to find more hidden gems around me. Have you gone through a corn maze, if so did you in the dark? Have you ever been to a farmers market and gone on a tractor pulled hayride?
As Always Keep on Brewin!
