Everglades Equipment Re-Opens Odessa Location with Community-Wide Celebration

Odessa, Fla. — On March 26, Florida-based Everglades Equipment Group celebrated the re-opening of its newly renovated showroom at its Odessa location. Community and business leaders from around the area joined to celebrate this commemoration and meet the location’s new leadership team.

“This event was a great opportunity for us to re-introduce ourselves and redefine our lasting commitment to such a great community,” said Eric Anderson, Everglades Odessa site manager. “It has been an honor to support the Odessa community and surrounding areas and provide its members with our cutting-edge equipment and services as Florida’s largest family-owned John Deere dealer. Our new leadership team and renovated showroom demonstrate we are just as committed to the same promise of quality service.”

During the event, attendees were able to hear from leadership, enjoy family-fun activities hosted by local vendors and enter several giveaways that included a John Deere four-seater Gator rental for an entire year. Lunch was provided from locally-loved Vallarta’s Mexican Restaurant.

Located at 2240 Success Dr., Odessa, Fla., the newly renovated showroom was created to enhance the buying experience and to expand on the company’s dedication and investment in the region.

Alberta Honey: A Day at Molenkamp Honey Farms

Video: Alberta Honey: A Day at Molenkamp Honey Farms

When was the last time you read the label on your honey?

We spent a day at Molenkamp Honey Farms with Michael Molenkamp, who has been keeping bees for 17 seasons and runs three to four thousand hives. In mid-September, he was finishing treatments and getting his bees ready for winter, and he walked us through how Alberta honey gets made.

Alberta has just 150 commercial beekeepers running 300,000 colonies, and together they produce 40% of Canada’s honey. Long summer days and golden canola fields give Alberta honey a light flavour that’s hard to match anywhere else.

Molenkamp calls Alberta beekeepers some of the most resilient farmers he knows. There’s plenty of Alberta honey to go around, but a lot on our shelves isn’t from here, so his ask is simple. Give the label a second look and choose honey made by Alberta beekeepers, or buy straight from a beekeeper near you.
