For the past five years, ‘Real Florida Magazine’ has solicited readers of their print magazine, along with fans of the ‘Real Florida Magazine’ website and over 13,000 Facebook subscribers, to nominate their choice for the best local provider in several categories of goods, services, entertainment and events.
The winners each year are declared ‘People’s Choice- Best of The Real Florida’, with bragging rights and local notoriety, and the latest results were announced on Wednesday, May 16, 2018, for the areas encompassing Holmes, Washington, Jackson and Bay County, Florida as well as some of Southeast Alabama, with many businesses in these areas providing services to the Florida Panhandle.
Those categories relating to food- fresh from the farm or butcher’s block, off the grocery shelf or served to you by a caterer or in a restaurant- are some of the most popular and draw a large number of ballots during the voting, with results that reflect our communities and our taste.
Congratulations to all the winners in these respective categories of ‘The Best of The Real Florida’ competition, the results of which are shown below.
