 Visiting a Farmers Market - Hayden Hawes

Bob Roth's New River Groves

Davie, FL 33314

   On August 7th, 2023, I visited Bob Roth's New River Groves in Davie, FL. Many farmers display their crops and other products for sale at this iconic South Florida agricultural establishment. From fresh produce to marmalades and jellies, it can be found at Bob Roth's New River Groves! 

   The owner, David Roth, sits with me on the board of directors for the Broward County Farm Bureau. He is deeply vested in Broward County agriculture and does all he can to support the industry and its farmers. Gardening space is allocated to many local school clubs and 4-H clubs, a testament to the company leadership looking toward the future of the industry. I took photos to highlight my experience at this iconic establishment.

    On August 7th, I also planned to visit the Southwest Ranches Farmers Market located at 5150 S Flamingo Rd, Southwest Ranches, FL 33330. Unfortunately, the establishment was closed upon my arrival. However, I plan to visit once again when they open!

    I look forward to supporting local farmers often after my recent visits! -Hayden Hawes
