They offer several types of u-pick fruits, veggies and sunflowers at different times of the year. They have a fun zone area and food trucks. The only thing I don't see on this farm are animals. I love that they allow the 5K races at least once a year. With those races, you usually get blueberry pancakes and a pint container to pick your own blueberries from at least 6 fields. There were 2 available to pick from when we were there. Plump and sweet blueberries are to be had if you know how to pick them. Don't let the bees scare you off. Leave them alone and you will be fine, unless someone in the next aisle pissed them off. They have peaches, sunflowers and strawberries to pick as well. I noticed the map also shows veggies but not sure when or which kind are available but nice to know. I love the observation deck above the gift shop. Amazing views of the farm and surrounding land with plenty of seating to take it all in while you enjoy a cup of coffee from the gift shop. I hope they can hang on to this land once the developments continue closing in on this rare property.

Plant Street Market is located in downtown Winter Garden and basically a food hall. Inside the…read morelarge building, you will find many different permanent vendors including, Crooked Can Brewery, the flagship of Plant Street, Jam Hot Chicken, Axom Coffee, Tea place, Empanada and Co., Bento Sushi, Michael's Ali Pizza, Sit Benji's Donuts, a BBQ place, a popcorn stand, mac and cheese stand, a cheese place, chocolate place, and then a butcher with food to buy and bring home. There are a ton of places! Inside and outside, there are plenty of tables and high tops to sit at. There is a lot of grassy areas outside for kids to run around as well. The best part of Plant Street is that everyone in your party can get something different but all sit together and enjoy each other's company. MY wife and I tend to do this alot. We order smaller things from a few booths and then share everything. During the weekends and then also throughout the year, Plant Street has events such as Octoberfest, pet adoption and live singers, to name a few. This usually will bring more people here and to be honest, parking can be tough. Their private parking lot is not incredibly large and also shares with a few restaurants across from them, not located inside the market. My wife and I try to go early when we visit. We want a table to sit down, even though you can easily walk around with your food. If you cannot find parking, there is a parking garage which will be a slight walk over. The parking garage is closer to where the farmer's market is. Everyone who works at the different vendors are always very nice. I believe they are Crooked Can employees, but people will walk around picking up your beer glasses for you. The prices are pretty reasonable as well. They are priced appropriate for what you get. I definitely recommend checking out Plant Street as this is one of our favorite local places to visit. ACES!

Inside is home to…read moreCrooked Can Brewery, the flagship of Plant Street and then a handful of vendors, most of which are food. The outside is brick building which I love, it makes it look old and rustic and brings you into the feel of being up North as opposed to Florida. Inside is a long walkway with vendors on both sides. At the end is Crooked Can brewery. This is the main draw to Plant Street. They are the largest vendor occupying one end as well as a smaller bar area on the other end. Their beers are very good, also being sold in stores. Their vendors are mostly food including Jam Hot Chicken, Axom Coffee, Tea place, Empanada and Co., Bento Sushi, Michael's Ali Pizza, Sit Benji's Donuts, a BBQ place and more. There are quite a few. They also have a mac and cheese stand, a cheese place, chocolate place, and then a butcher with food to buy and bring home. Inside and outside, they offer tables and high tops to sit at. What I love the most, is you could all get something different, which might be great for those that cannot agree. What my husband and I love to do, is to order small things from a few booths and share it all. We get to try a bunch of things and not get super full really fast. On the weekends, and throughout the year they do tend to have many events. Which brings more people here. The parking can be tough, their lot is not incredibly large so we do like to get here early. If you cannot find parking, there is a parking garage but this is going to be a slight walk over to Plant Street. The parking garage is closer to where the farmer's market is. Everyone who works inside are always friendly. They walk around (I believe Crooked Can employees) and will pick up empty glasses. The prices are not unreasonable. They are priced appropriate for what you get. I definitely recommend checking out Plant Street! Its one of our favorite local places to visit.

Every year, from mid-April to mid-May, the Beck Brothers farm opens itself to the public for a…read morespecial event: Blueberry picking! There are acres of blueberries growing in neat rows, and they're full of fruit. You enter the farm, park in a grassy field, grab a bucket at a table by the orchard, and head out to pick. The helpful people who give you the buckets tell you a bit about the varieties that they grow, and about the colored streamers on each row that tell you which variety is growing there. Here in Central Florida it gets hot early in the year, so the plants fruit early. What's comfy for the plants is comfy for us, so picking is usually in great weather. When you've finished picking enough, you take the bucket back to the table and pay for what you picked. By comparison, what costs you $8 at a store like Walmart costs you $6 at Beck Brothers farm. So go now, or plan for next April, and get enough blueberries to make your jam, your ice cream, your muffins and pies. Freeze the excess and you'll always be ready to eat the berries that your family and friends picked on a lovely Spring day.

Smack dab in the middle of several neighbors, it's a treat to come on the property. We've been going for a few years now and each year they add small amenities like hand washing stations, rides around the property and picture spots. Parking is free. A bucket at this time in 2025 is $20. We each grab a bucket and take a different row; plan for about an hour to fill it. Feel free to taste to make sure you're getting the kind you like (sweet, sour and mid sour). When paying there is other local offerings like honey (wish they came in a smaller offer)

Pricing can be a little on the higher side, but I think that has a lot to do with the area. A great place for a Sunday morning stroll to pick up some local produce and things for the week to come Super casual parking can be tough at times, but if you go early enough, you can get in and out before it gets too crowded. I would say out of all the farmers markets I have been to this one seems to get the most crowded around 10 AM.

What an amazing little gem of a place. It's the kind of roadside attraction reminiscent of old Florida, but that history hasn't managed to forget. Thank goodness! This is a great attraction for the whole family. Lots of animals, play areas for the kids, and a ride around the farm in a monster truck/bus to view old citrus groves and search for Bigfoot. For me, the best part was the opportunity to interact with Lemurs and Capybaras. This was the best part of visit! Don't pay those absurd prices for those 'Capybara Cafes' popping up where $100 get you coffee in a room with them. Here, for a fraction of the cost, you get up close contact and interaction. The animal interactions fill up quickly, so get there early.

We also took a ride on the monster truck, which was a little disappointing as it was just a ride around the farm and we thought it was very pricey.

I would definitely go back again, but maybe on a cooler day.

It's hard to find those cuts in a regular grocery store. Carnez definitely has all the cuts he needs for an authentic Argentine asado. My uncle was so impressed with the flap meat's tenderness and he loved the chorizo's flavor. He enjoyed the meat so much that he plans on placing an order! From now on, we will get our meat from Carnez! Oh, and the ground beef made the best empanadas! Love, love, love this place!
