Ole Time Fruit Stands Part Three

This is the third part of my tour of Roadside Stands. 

You won't want to miss the first two.

Almost missed this one as I'm rolling down Highway 41. 

Inside they were selling locally harvested honey.  Yum.

Oh my, here is the grand daddy of them all.

  I don't think there is anything they don't have.

and more...

freshly made breads of all kinds...

Ohhh, freshly made mexican fruit nectors.  Mango is nice.

And a Florida road side stand would not be complete

without allegator heads for sale.

Look at those teeth.

It's time to start back, 

and visit a another beautiful produce stand along the way.

Ole Time Fruit Stands Part Two

Well, I have traveled halfway down the state of Florida,

and  some of the best is yet to come.

Here we are, come on in an stay a while.

This is truly a U Pick at your own risk.

Original Honey extracting press.

Now this is one big Cast Iron Pot. It is a bit taller than me

 resting againt the wall.  Behind are four big cast iron

 short stubby legs.  This was used for boiling down

 the sugar cane to make syrup. 

Before heading on down the road,

 I had some fresh squeezed orange juice.  Very Nice.

These are sugar rollers that farmers

 feed the sugar cane stalks  through. 

 They each look to be cast iron and 2  1/2 feet thick. 

The crushed stalks then traveled into this machine, churned  in the ole wooden bucket

 and out the spout on the left.  To then land....

into this 5 ft wide caldron.  This one does not have legs,
so I will assume that this type held the uncooked sugar
 and the copper caldrens, like a few frames back with legs
were the ones used to boil the syrup.
Facinating. !

This wouldn't be complete without a picture

of some sugar cane, that was at the next stand down the road. 

(It's the tall looking sticks)
