US (FL): Local strawberry grower overcomes hurricane setbacks to produce sweeter harvest

"Well, this [season] brought a real set of challenges. We had the hurricane," said Parke.

Parke lost 30% of his crop as Hurricane Milton hit right in the prime of planting season.

Ironically, the hurricane rushed planting season and ended up delivering an even sweeter berry.

"It will hold the quality better, because the younger the plant, the better the quality is going to be of the fruit," explained Parke.
