Parkesdale rocks! It's the finest strawberry shake sorcery I've ever experienced. Presidents visit this legendary FL institution when in the area. Their produce always looks great and there's usually a line around the building at all hours of the day. Enjoy it!

Nkenge Carter

Freshest produce at the best prices. Their parking lot is a little hinky to get into. That's the only reason it didnt get 5 stars.

Loved it! Black Eye Peas, green tomatoes, purple hull peas, cucumbers, onions, sweet potatoes! Friendly people. GREAT prices too!

Angel Errafay

Orange juice is so good. Strawberry shake has gelatin.

Lisa Kelly

A cute place. Love going here. Strawberry shortcake is so good but only available from January to April(until they run out of strawberries) Make sure you either go really early or plan to be in a long line.

SANDRA VERLICCO

Great selection and prices for vegetables. Soft serve icecream with butterscotch sauce was full of Crystal's and the whip cream was so so. Staff is excellent.

Joanne Maedl

This is a sizable market with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables to select from. They also have some less common products for sale: jellies, jams, condiments, and sauces in addition to souvenirs. They have an ice cream shop with soft serve, dole whip, and they make shakes. I had the pumpkin shake and it was delicious.

Janice DiRose

Regina Poss

Don't understand why staff can't be friendly here. Lady at check out seemed annoyed when I asked if they had fresh dill. "If it's not over there, then no. We don't carry stuff like that". It is a plant/herb and they carry those. No smiling …

The most awesome strawberry shortcake in the state without a doubt. It's a shame that they won't have any until January. We'll definitely be back then. But we had strawberry shakes that were so fabulous we decided not to stop and eat so we could savor them even more!!!!!

Barbara Green

Parkesdale Farms, Plant City, FL is a wonderful, local market for a large variety of fresh fruits and vegetables. Strawberry season is a favorite, when my young granddaughter and I share a strawberry shake. Mmmmm! It's the best! Plenty of covered seating, too. The shakes are delicious any time of year!

Heidi Ryan

A veggie/ fruit lovers paradise. Plant based diet lovers paradise. I cannot comment on the milkshakes due to dairy disliking me. But the long ,fast moving line speaks for itself. Great prices. Cool knick knacks, A must..

Classic farmer's market paired with a great strawberry shortcake stand. Go here instead of the festival and save yourself the crowds and parking. The fruit and plant selection is good and the desserts are always delicious.

Fresh produce and great desserts at a low price. Try the tangerine twist or get a pineapple dole whip.

Samantha Dokin

I come here all the time for my fresh produce. Prices and variety are fantastic. Desserts and treats you can purchase while shopping are always delicious.

KATHRYN CAPUTO

This is the best place for strawberry shortcake. Various versions are made to your personal taste. Strawberries are sweet. Large portions. Good farm stand shopping. Don't let the long line discourage you. It moves extremely quick. Lots of fun and yummy.

Dan Bartels

Live plants, fresh produce and strawberry shortcake for sale. What more could you ask for? When you get there the line of people suggests that you've found the right place. It moves quickly, though, as the staff are very efficient at getting the menu items out. When you bite in, you realize it was worth every bit of wait.

Christina Hubbard

Parkesdale as an outstanding Market to visit. Great Strawberry Shortcake, produce, gifts and super helpful staff. It's always fun going to Parksdale!

Chris Yust

Best selection of fresh fruits and veggies in central Florida! Well known for their HUGE strawberry shortcakes! I love their shakes too and fresh squeezed o.j.

Sharon Stigall

Always a great experience. Strawberry prices have gone up for Strawberry shortcakes. And pretty much entire menu. Strawberries were not very sweet this time. Milkshake was amazing. Restrooms were clean. Lots of parking is available. And lots of places to sit and enjoy your choices from the menu. Definitely will go back.

Jerry Greif

The place is always great. Prices are always reasonable.Can’t beat strawberries and ice cream. They move people through here pretty fast it’s just like going to the soup Nazi. Have your money ready and know what you’re going to order or get out-of-the-way. If you’ve never been here you Gotta stop and experience it, if you do you’ll come back every time you’re in the area.

Darlene Gordon

Awesome strawberry shortcake come in many varieties! Great shakes as well. Produce and plants are arranged in a charming setting. Service is speedy and friendly.

Muffett Ripley

I've lived in Polk county for more than 20 years. I've tried other fruit & vegi markets but, Parkesdale Farms to me is the best! Especially their strawberries wen in season. Very friendly service as well & if it's a hot day you can have some ice cream to help with the heat!

Beautiful plants, produce, & selection of jams, butters, homemade confections.

Carmelita Sibert

Not the most luxurious place, but very comfy and friendly. Plants strategically placed under several areas of a leaking roof... Genious idea! It reminded me of a treehouse, but on the ground. I'd go back in a heart beat for that Dole Whip. …

Phetsamay Pernice

My weekly trips are always a great experience here. Feeling like I leave the place with a steal of a deal. The prices are great, the quality is great. I would get my produce from Parksdale before I go to a grocery store.

Have been going to Parkdale market for years, good prices, best milkshakes, and Strawberry shortcake you will ever find.

Andrew Denering

Fresh veggies for cheap prices makes this place a year round value. During the strawberry season 200 people will wait in line for a strawberry shortcake. I won't wait but love the shortcake when the line is short.

A must do in Florida! The strawberry shortcakes are to die for, but their produce offering is great as well! When traveling through Florida it is a great idea to stop by, buy yourself some fruits and veggies on your way to your destination and grab a shortcake. They have never disappointed in all the times we've stopped by.

Hoda Bizri

Loved it! Amazing strawberry shortcake! It was neat watching the oranges get washed on the conveyor belt Machine. The line moved quickly and so the wait wasn't too bad. But there was a wait...for a reason! It was wonderful!

Angie Austin

Great place. Good veggies and nice stafe. Nice place to enjoy a cold drink in the Restuarant area. Self help. Be a Strawberry queen for a moment.

Tou21315

Good place to go for strawberry shotcakes. The place can be overly crowded on the weekend. It is a tourist destination and I think most produce are overpriced, but other then that it has a very nice atmosphere if you just want to site see and spend a couple hours relaxing.

Scott Jordan

Amazing strawberry shortcake. Line is long but goes really fast.

Robert Wilder

They pay their employees the bare minimum and the owner is very rude and full of himself. Strawberry shakes are pretty good, that is all.

Deborah Stasiak

Everything about Parksdale is five star across the board. Fresh produce, vegetable selection and freshness is over the stop! Where do I begin to talk about the shakes, strawberry shortcake and cookies? The quick moving long lines says it …

Brian Pla

Fresh fruit and the best strawberry shakes and splits in Florida!

Basit Ali

Nice little market off I-4 exit 17. The strawberry shortcake topped with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream was quite delicious. They've got plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits. They also have a variety of products including honey, jams, potted plants, pickles etc. It's worth a visit if you're in the tampa bay area.

the bean squad

love it there! me and my family love going and go every year. they have great milkshakes and cookies the seating is far back though and even has a strawberry throne. easy to order and big letters on the menu just incase you have a hard time seeing a little hot but there is fans.

Michael Canfield

It's a really nice farmers market. A lot of the produce is local, and they make sure to specifically label it. Additionally their desserts (short cake, milkeshake, etc) are fantastic. The strawberry cookies are a little funky but give them …

Fay Shepherd

Great place to buy fresh produce at low prices. While there be sure to treat yourself to a fresh strawberry shortcake and/or milkshake. Hits the spot on these hot summer days.
