Despite the setback, Lawrence reopened the outdoor farmers market after more than a week of closure. He expressed gratitude for community support while working to recover. The farm plans to remain open until Halloween or until they run out of pumpkins and will resume U-pick strawberries in December.

Owner Barry Lawrance said the outdoor market will remain open until the end of October. He said Hurricane Milton destroyed their strawberry farm, produce and other products.
