This used to be our favorite place to come pick delicious tomatoes. The previous owner grew one variety and one variety only That they staggered planting so you could pick beautiful size tomatoes from December well into April. They lost their lease and Farmer mikes. You pick took it over and seems to grow more flowers than vegetables. We went there twice last year and we're not able to get strawberries on either occasion And the tomatoes we were able to pick were mediocre at best. So if you're looking for a place to consistently pick tomatoes I don't think this is your best option, but I will say the strawberries I picked were quite good. They also have lots of things for kids with a bouncy station, etc.. They also grow a plentiful supply of beautiful sunflowers so if you're looking for fresh flowers, I think you will be very happy.

It took my family over an hour to drive to La Vang Tropical Farm from St.Petersburg. The farm had…read moretall grasses that covered the walking path around the farm and seem like it was not maintenance in a long period of time. We decided not to walk around the farm walkway path in order to avoid mosquitoes bites. Everyone in my family tried to stay in the shade because it was hot and very humid. It was impressive that there is large fish pond outside with big fishes. The owner was very busy. She was by herself to do multiple tasks at same times such as selling tropical fruits and sugar cane juice to customers. The restroom was cleaner than I was expected. I will not come back, because I can get tropical fruits at local markets in for the same price.

We drove 2.3 hrs to a huge orchard of unripe fruits. It's hot, mosquitoes buzzing (we brought spray) and the place is not beautiful. It's dirty and run down. The employees were rude. Prices for the fruits that were sold are more expensive than what's sold at grocery stores. There's a clean bathroom in the back and a cute kitten ‍ on site. Otherwise it's a disappointment.

They also have special orange and creamsicle ice cream that many people were enjoying. We tasted their crunchy tangerines and they were so good we shipped some home. OMG... if they're in season, you have to try them. They are plentiful right now so go get them!! They also have lots of other things besides oranges and grapefruits. They have lots of other produce as well, along with plenty of other items like tons of gift items ... the ones you would expect ... coconut patties, orange gum, (my favorite). There are also lots of jars with fruits and veggies, salad dressings, plus jams and jellies and so many other cool things. I could have stayed there all day. So glad we went. Now I will wait patiently for our tangerines and grapefruits to arrive! And the ladies at the cash register were super nice and very knowledgeable, especially the one from Buffalo! I didn't get her name. Did you know you can take oranges in their bags from the orange grove as a carry on on the plane? They can even wrap up a few oranges in their packaging to take home... wish i had more room in my suitcase! No issues for me with TSA!

Pretty much they all have similar things at similar prices. Lots of tomatoes ($15 for box in pictures), mandarins, strawberries ($20 for the box in picture) corn, zucchini (2x$1), eggs ($10 for eggs in picture) plants, etc. The prices are unbelievably low and it's CASH ONLY!!! You can drive around slowly and make stops as you see something or find a parking spot and walk a bit. It does get pretty full around noon. There are also a few stalls with some ready to eat food and juices. Definitely worth the drive.

We went to this grove specifically for the pumpkin festival which had good reviews. The biggest…read moredraw was the activities available for children under 5 and the free admission/$5 parking. Even though it was an hour drive for us it was well worth traveling there. Our grandchildren enjoyed the pony rides which were $6/child, holding a piglet which was $7/child, the hay ride ($2/seated person), the circus entertainment (free), feeding the goats ($1/cup of food) and enjoying a picnic with food for lunch. There was also live music to enjoy. The food we had was smoked turkey legs ($15 and very large... 2 of us shared one), BBQ sandwich with French fries ($12) and delicious freshly made lemonade with strawberries ($7) and some water bottles ($3 each). Other than the water bottles being a bit pricey, the other food was good and reasonably priced for these kinds of events. There was so much more we could have enjoyed but our young ones tired out with the heat of the day. We did not get a chance to see the many small tents full of crafts, the playground, the butterfly area, the train ride (appropriate for very young kids) and probably so much more we did not know about. There was an area for older kids that had activities such as a zipline, climbing wall, inflatable slides and tunnels which were additional costs ranging from $12-$20. $40 for a band that included all of those activities. The pumpkin area at the front was beautifully arranged and there were plenty of pumpkins to choose from. Pie pumpkins were $5 and carvable pumpkins were $0.90/lb. They also had heirloom pumpkins for a bit more/lb. There were so many areas throughout the farm for photo opportunities. It was really well done. All of the people working there were great and parking was very organized. I expect we will return next year. It was a fun outing.

This iconic fruit stand is a true South Florida institution. From the moment you pull in, it feels like stepping into a charming, old-school roadside market bursting with color and character. Crates overflow with vibrant tropical fruits, the air smells sweet and fresh, and the whole place has that nostalgic, family-run charm you just don't find everywhere anymore. The mamey milkshake is my go-to and hands down my favorite. It's unbelievably thick, creamy, and packed with rich tropical flavor. One sip and you'll understand why it's legendary. Beyond the milkshakes, they carry incredible local honey, homemade sauces, unique jams, fresh shallots, beautiful vegetables, and perfectly ripe fruits. The exotic fruit selection alone is worth the trip. you'll discover varieties you didn't even know existed. What makes it even more special is that Robert himself is often there, still working and interacting with customers. It adds such a personal touch. Everyone on staff is genuinely kind, welcoming, and happy to answer questions or offer recommendations. Don't skip the back area, there's a small petting zoo where you can buy feed and interact with the animals, which makes it a fun stop for families and kids. It's more than just a fruit stand . it's an experience. A must-visit South Florida classic.

Yeah, kind of like sweet potato. We'll see how my tummy feels after the milk in the shake By the way- this is a large cup. I'm definitely not going to finish this!!! It's great for tourists ands kids. It was too hot for me to walk around and look at the animals- so go in the morning. That's it. I'm leaving. Apparently there's wine tasting 3 miles down the road!
