Things to do in Florida, United States: The Best Farms

January 2, 2022 Jeremy Dunfee

Not just for retirees and theme park enthusiasts, the Sunshine State offers beautiful beaches, pristine diving conditions, and sizzling nightlife. Salsa the night away in a smokin’ hot Miami club, or swing away at one of Kissimmee’s many premium golf courses. An airboat tour of the Everglades is an unforgettable adventure – just look out for alligators! For the risk-averse, a lazy day spent on the soft sands of an Emerald Coast beach is as rejuvenating as a spa treatment.

Deseret Ranch

Reviewed By moroni10

I really enjoyed this tour. It is in a van, so there is no walking involved. The windows are wide and the seats are comfy. Sister Bybee is a delightful and informed guide and had answers to all our questions and some we did not ask! In addition to seeing how this huge working cattle ranch is run, we had a visual experience with a ton of birds - egrets, roseate spoonbills, cormorants and wild turkeys...and an alligator. If you enjoy the outdoors and learning the history and workings of a huge ranch, make an appointment and come enjoy. Bonus- it is free!

We would highly recommend Farm Tours of Ocala. The owner, Karen, provided a wonderful tour of several horse farms where we were able to see the full spectrum of caring for and breeding thoroughbreds and Arabian horses. With Karen's decades of experience and invaluable connections, we got beyond the gates and behind the scenes, providing us with a very rare opportunity well worth the price of admission! If you love horses, you will love this tour.

We were looking for a place to have our daughter's birthday party and stumbled on this hidden gem. We ended up having the best birthday party and the staff was amazing. We had over nearly 20 kids ranging from ages 4 to 12, and there was something for everyone. Kids ages 7-12 were able to ride horses in groups of 5. The staff had a guide riding in the front and a guide in the rear, but the kids were taught to control the well behaved (older) horses and went on a 25-30 minute trail ride on the grounds. When they returned, the next group of 5 kids went. The children younger than 7 are able to do pony rides, and all the animals appeared to be clean and well taken care of. When not riding the horses/ponies, there are animals of all types (bunnies, goats, pigs, ferrets, raccoons, etc.) and the kids were able to explore and move around freely. Everyone in attendance was amazed at how much fun everyone was having, and we were all relaxed allowing the kids play while the staff was stationed around to help with the animals. I can't be more happy with our experience at this interactive animal sanctuary. Thank you to everyone.

Promised Land Mangoes

Our Florida island-grown mangoes are the best! Promised Land heirloom mangoes are better than organic, naturally delicious and available at the grove. Our family has also produced some truly wonderful Mango Preserves and Mango Grove Honey for you, available at our farm stand. The Old Pineland Mango Grove is located on 40 beautiful acres in Pineland, FL on Pine Island.

I'm trying to catch up on reviews that I've been meaning to leave. This place is great! The woman who owns the business is the sweetest person and she has a lovely daughter with Down Syndrome. I stopped by here during the summer and got the best mangoes I've ever had! Also give her mango butter a try. Delish!

Blueberry Hill Farm

Reviewed By 704mikep - Orlando, United States

What a great opportunity to get some time outside with friends doing something relaxing and delicious. The staff are very friendly, prices are great, but most importantly there are excellent blueberries and a lot of them. Everything is set up so that it is easy to move around without being on top of other people. Definitely a full-filling tradition to make with kids.

Pappy's Patch U-Pick Strawberries

Reviewed By Sunshine748185

Our family has been picking strawberries here for years, although sometimes I will make a quick stop myself for some fresh berries. It's located in the beautiful Black Hammock, so the trip out is an experience in and of itself. Nothing fancy here, just big, juicy berries priced just right, and ready for eating. This year I made a delicious strawberry cake with my haul!

Our favorite part of the Dakin Dairy experience was the personalized tour of the Dairy, given by Courtney Dakin. She is extremely knowledgeable about the dairy and it’s processes. Courtney is a lovely girl and made us feel right at home. The food at the cafe was fantastic and is definitely worth the time to visit. I would highly recommend taking a trip out there!
