Today, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and honor the courage of the first responders, service members and everyday citizens who stepped forward to help others.

Their bravery, service and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

🍅 Palmetto has some pretty interesting roots when it comes to tomatoes!

In recognition of National Fruits & Veggies Month this September, we’re looking back at Palmetto’s agricultural history and the role tomatoes played in our community.

Local pioneer Joel Hendrix was among Palmetto’s early agricultural settlers, helping establish the farming tradition that would later include prominent tomato-growing families such as the Harllees. The Harllee family became closely connected to the area’s vegetable and tomato-growing industry.

It’s a piece of Palmetto history that reminds us just how deep our agricultural roots run!
