“Visited for first time today and very surprised by the large selection of vegetables, herbs, flowers and fruits. Even better they have a small winery tasting room with a packed fresh baked desert case and breakfast and lunch foods along with beer and other refreshments. They do have baskets and bags available for use and plastic bags to take home but you can bring your own and maybe pruners for flowers as they do have a few pair to loan.The location had plenty of parking as you enter, the fields were easy to maneuver with rows of different veggies. Friends had been recently and picked blueberries and strawberries but today at end of season. Got some wonderful eggplants, bi-color corn, cherry, grape and regular tomatoes, green beans peppers and snapdragons we picked ourselves. There is also a selection of already picked items and found carrots, potatoes, onions, etc. where you check out. For $20 filled our cooler and in the restaurant too late for breakfast menu but enjoyed a lunch of chicken salad sandwich, flatbread, deserts and wine tastings and came away with some additional desert and wine. A nice outing for a few hours and think kids would really have fun finding and picking veggies.. On our visit it was adults and teens picking. We found the farm, restaurant and wine staff friendly and will definitely return as a nice scenic drive, easy to find, with good quality, well priced products just beyond Tampa.”

“What an amazing place that Dan and Sue have here! We have picked fruit and vegetables here before and that was great! Now we have experienced the amazing food they serve there what an experience We decided to celebrate my mother’s 88th Birthday surprise party there we had over 20 members of our family there everyone in there was so excited to see her walk in and see such a surprised look on her face and how wonderful she felt seeing her family there together the Atmosphere there was so amazing and the food was phenomenal we couldn’t get over how delicious everything was from the Ziti,salad,garlic knots and cake. And don’t forget to try their wines from their winery it was a big hit with us Everyone enjoyed it all The owners and their staff were so wonderful I want to thank them again for such a memorable time!! We will definitely be back!”

“One of the best hidden secrets in Hernando County! This is not just an amazing place to buy fresh local produce, but a place to build memories with your family. I take my Mom here for U-pick strawberries, blueberries and blackberries every season. We have a blast picking and then head into the winery to cool off with a refreshing glass of wine. The owner is awesome and they always post each week what is available with prices on Facebook. The blueberries are huge!!!! They also offer different flowers at certain times that are a nice touch and have market events. Overall, this is how you support local businesses and the quality of the products speak for themselves.”

“Second visit and the little ones love the small petting zoo! They even had a horse ride this time and she was the gentlist, sweetest horse. The restaurant food is great, as are the desserts. My only negative would be the decor. They have a "mammy" figurine that is pretty offensive, and it didn't help that the 2 white women at the table next to us were saying racist things about black people entering the restaurant. Just to be clear, the staff and waiter were super friendly and great, but between the figurine and the bigoted ladies at the next table, it was uncomfortable.”

“What a great find. This was an impromptu visit. Ended up letting the manager help me choose a few wines to share as gifts, picked blackberries, and some veggies for a great dinner later that night at our airbnb. Fantastic experience! If you are in the area, definitely stop in. I wish I had been able to stay for lunch. The farm to table cafe looked amazing. Next time I come thru, it will be a definite stop!”

“Writing this in their parking lot because this place was amazing!!!!! They take credit cards, have bathrooms, service was amazing! I highly recommend anyone wanting to make the drive. I drove 90 minutes here and don’t regret it at all. Many things to pick from!”

“We came first time to pick up veggie and fruit and veggie , they have many varieties of veggies to pick ,and ton of strawberries. Total cost $15.5 and we had lunch at the restaurant here , order a burger 🍔 that was delicious and inexpensive as well .”
