Dade County Farm Bureau Annual BBQ
Every Spring Dade County Farm Bureau hosts an annual BBQ and it is the largest farm to table BBQ in South Florida. This year’s event took place at The Di’Mare Annex in Florida City. Thirty-five years running, the event brings the entire community together to enjoy live entertainment, fresh food, and great fellowship. Volunteers and local farmers are recognized for their effortless contributions to the community. The event is truly a big farm family reunion.
