Nearby Construction Not Stopping Bearss Groves
Nearby home construction has changed the landscape near the produce business owned by a Lutz couple, but local shoppers will find the same great fresh fruits and vegetables available.
Barry Lawrance began working at Bearss Groves when he was 13 years old. As a teenager growing up in the Northdale area, it was a great gig for a kid who wanted to be outside and who loved working the land. Through the years, he did it all; from helping pick oranges right off the trees to selling fruit to customers who drove to the 14316 Lake Magdalene Blvd. produce stand from all over the region, including Carrollwood, Lutz and North Tampa. Now, Lawrance and his wife, Courtney, own the business. Barry first bought the Bearss’ juice business back in the late 1990s with a partner. Not too long ago, he bought the retail end of the business, including the land on which the Bearss Groves produce stand sits at the corner of Bearss Avenue and …

Hot Rods Owner: ‘It’s Kind of Like Having a Death in the Family’
Longtime Lutz businessman Rod Gaudin reflects on his eatery’s past and its final day.
Rod Gaudin gave it everything he had, but in the end his popular Lutz barbecue joint had to say one final farewell to customers. Rather than mark the last day of Hot Rods BBQ as a sad one for customers, Gaudin tried to turn it into a party of sort. With live musical performances courtesy of J.T. Curtis and lots of food on hand, the mood at the 18430 Livingston Ave. eatery was festive with an undertone of somber. Gaudin lost Hot Rods in a foreclosure battle with his wife, Helen’s former employer. A foreclosure sale was held earlier this year and May 2 marked the last day of barbecue at Hot Rods. “It’s kind of like having a death in the family,” said Gaudin about the last day. “First it’s denial and then it hits you.” Customers seemed to …

Florida Estates Winery Is a 'Grape' Escape
The wine-making operation on State Road 52 is holding a wine festival Saturday, April 27.
For Ron Hunt, there isn’t a business card wide enough for all of his positions, both official and unofficial, at Florida Estates Winery. “(My) title is vice president, general manager, winemaker, dishwasher, plumber, electrician, yard man, vineyardist … everything,” he said with a laugh. “I’ve got lots of titles." Hunt is the man behind the vino at the Land O’ Lakes winery, a small-production operation on State Road 52 that has been in business since December 2001. Florida Estates currently offers eight different bottles: plantation white, chardonnay (two styles), plantation blush, plantation red, orange, key lime, plantation spice and strawberry port. Each wine sells for $13.95, except the chardonnay and port, which fetch $15.95 and $23.…
