What is there to pick?

We are a flower farm an offer different flowers per season (Sunflowers, Marigolds, and More!) for picking. Additionally, we sell our farm fresh honey, fresh ground peanut butter, and other cottage law treats. We are also licensed to sell our farm fresh eggs.

​

Is there accessibility for disabled persons?

Our farm grounds are all natural (sandy, grass, and uneven). We do have gravel roads and walkways throughout the majority of the farm.

​

Are animals allowed?

No, we do not allow dogs or pets onto the farm. Although we love dogs, our animals were previously used for protecting cattle from wild animals, such as coyote and bobcats, and view dogs as a threat. This causes stress on our animals and can pose a danger for visitors on the farm. 

​

Are service animals allowed?

Yes, service dogs are allowed to enter the farm but need to stay in the designated area due to the fact that we have animals on display that view dogs as a threat and the presence of a dog would be disruptive, causing the displayed animals to behave aggressively or become agitated. Service dogs are defined as a dog of any breed that is required because of a disability and has been trained to perform a specific work or task. Under the ADA, it is the training that distinguishes a service animal from other animals. 

​

What should I wear?

It is Florida and it is HOT. Plan to wear sunscreen, hats, and loose clothing. Bug spray is good to have on hand after our Florida rains. We advise visitors to wear closed toed shoes as the grounds are all natural (sandy, grass, and uneven). We have bees, ants, snakes, & bugs on the farm, for this reason we require all guests to wear shirts, shorts, and footwear. Inappropriate attire will not be allowed entrance into the farm.

​

Can I get a refund if it rains while I am at the farm?

It is the visitor's responsibility to check the weather before coming into the farm. There are no refunds or rainchecks.
