Florida Strawberry Grower Wish Farms Releases Children's Book

Wish Farms announced the launch of their first children’s book, Misty the Garden Pixie, which is available for purchase on their website and on sale at the Wish Farms strawberry booth at the Florida Strawberry Festival in Plant City. The book will also be available at select stores in Plant City, Fla. This brightly-illustrated children’s book is entertaining while at the same time helps raise awareness about the farms that supply their food, as well as promotes healthy eating of fruits and vegetables to kids. This book, written by Therese Wishnatzki and illustrated by Joey Donovan, was inspired by the birth of the Wishnatzki’s first grandchild – the 5th  generation in their family-owned-and-operated Wish Farms legacy. “We’ve always been a family-focused business, and healthy eating is important to us,” says Therese Wishnatzki, writer of Misty the Garden Pixie and wife of owner Gary Wishnatzki. “We hope this book will not only provide our younger consumers with a fun way to interact with the Wish Farms brand, but will also inspire kids to snack on fresh fruits, berries, and vegetables instead of some of the unhealthy alternatives.” Wish Farms will be hosting a book signing the last day of the Florida Strawberry Festival on Sunday, March 9th from 2:30-5pm at their strawberry stand located directly outside of Gate 1 on the corner of Oak Avenue and Woodrow Wilson. Therese Wishnatzki and Joey Donovan as well as Misty the Garden Pixie will all be attending to autograph books and share the story with visitors.
