Take a Virtual Tour of Wish Farms’ New Headquarters in Florida

Throughout its storied history, Wish Farms has experienced many firsts. It’s time to add another for the Central Florida-based berry-growing operation as the ribbon was recently cut on its new headquarters in Plant City. The ceremony commemorated the official move-in to the company’s new 24,000-square-foot office on its 36-acre campus.

In addition to the office built by construction company Barr & Barr, the campus features a blueberry farm, 125,000 square foot warehouse/cooling facility with a 20,000 square foot solar array, digital billboard, a treehouse, walking trails, and lake. According to the Florida Department of Transportation, roughly 115,000 vehicles drive past Wish Farms’ new headquarters every day.

“Our company has a 100-year relationship with the community of Plant City,” said Wish Farms’ owner Gary Wishnatzki during the ribbon cutting ceremony. “Our connection goes back to our days on the State Farmers Market and beyond. This is a strawberry town, so keeping our new address here means a lot to our company, employees, and growers.”

The land on which the campus is built has a strong connection to agriculture dating back generations before Wish Farms’ purchase, according to the company. Proceeds from its sale in 2018 were placed into a charitable trust benefiting local FFA and agriculture education by the previous owner Joe Kuhn.

Many features inside the new facility utilize wood that was cut down from the site. Company officials say this keeps in step with its “Feel Good” promise of sustainability. The repurposed wood can be found in many custom areas throughout, including the adult sized slide, reception desks, stair treads, and conference tables.

“It’s exciting because our new headquarters perfectly reflects our fun, family-friendly brand and will be a fantastic asset for retaining and recruiting top talent for many years to come,” Wishnatzki concluded.
