Posted on September 17, 2021Author Dean

In May of 1965, it was Strawberry harvest time on the Crocket Farm, on top of the mountain above Evensville. Shown in the feature photo above, from left to right are Frank Tankersley, farm manager and Mrs. Lee Hayes, one of the strawberry pickers. Mr. Tankersley reported that they had 20 acres of Strawberries in 1965, and they had plans for around 50 acres by 1966.
