This week’s featured video was published by Florida Farm Bureau to share the story of Jim Alderman, the 2025 Florida farmer of the Year. Watch the video to hear how this veteran farmer started small and built a highly regarded produce operation.  Not only is he a good farmer, but he has also been very active member of Farm Bureau.  Jim made sure decision makers knew the needs of Florida farmers before legislative actions were taken.

There’s nothing better than sinking your teeth into a delicious fresh tomato, and 2025 Florida Farm Bureau Farmer of the Year, Jim Alderman challenges anyone to find a tomato better tasting than his. “The flavor’s unbelievable,” says Alderman, who has been growing conventional and organic produce for more than 40 years at Alderman Farms in South Florida. “There’s nothing that compares to our tomatoes.” Alderman Farms grows an array of organic vegetables, including those mouthwatering tomatoes, as well as zucchini, yellow squash, cucumber, eggplant and cabbage, plus an array of herbs, across 1,200 acres of farmland in eastern Palm Beach and Martin counties. Alderman also owns a cow/calf operation.  Florida Farm Bureau – June 18, 2025
