We are a family run farm with quite a menagerie of livestock and pets. From milk cows to lop-eared bunnies, we have it all. Because all the animals are raised and cared for by children they are all very kid-friendly. We love to share Christ's love and our animals with others. You can book a traveling petting zoo to come to your private party or large public event. Or come out to our farm during one of our FREE Open Farm days we hold every month!

I have driven down this road a lot in the last 20 years and I'm always struck by the beauty of its oaks. My car has also been struck by a branch after a heavy rain, but I never resented the trees (They're maintained fairly well, so I'm sure it's rare). Apparently, this was a road that linked this area to St. Augustine and it could date to the 1600s. The best times to see the road are in the mid morning and late afternoon, when the trees will filter through golden colors from the sun. Season isn't as important when viewing our canopy roads, though late spring and late fall may present extra interest with the non-oak plants. I highly recommend a good soundtrack while driving (Bach's always pretty good). This road was something I missed when I moved to Central Florida and it makes me happy to be back to it. I hope visitors enjoy it, too.

Great place to learn and understand Apalachee Native American history. The archaeology is well conceived and presented to lay people as well as more deeply available to trained or avid students of archaeology. The living history events are especially interesting. Place for everyone.

Even on a weather driven day it was beautiful to visit this historic lighthouse! It is set in a beautiful refuse filled with alligators and incredible birds. Walking trails are all around as well. And, you can put your toes in the Gulf.
