    New Port Richey Loquat Festival - Dell Dechant and Amanda Zborek

    The only festival celebrating the loquat tree in the entire nation takes place Saturday (April 11th) in New Port Richey in Pasco County. Florida is one of the few U.S. locations where loquat trees grow successfully. But it's not run as a huge business like the harvesting of oranges or other citrus fruits. In fact, much of the fruit for the festival comes from trees in people's backyards. We speak with Dell Dechant and Amanda Zborek from Farmnet, a group that promotes local food production.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
