Oviedo Celery Coming Home

After a quarter century celery is growing again in Oviedo, FL! The iconic vegetable that sustained this little town through two World Wars, the Roaring 20’s, and the Great Depression….(correction, allowed Oviedo to THRIVE) when parts of the county sometimes suffered. Today you may identify with University of Central Florida (UCF) and Disney; but, Oviedo will forever owe it’s unique community-feel to that old marsh-land plant which has been cultivated as a vegetable since antiquity.
