We recently visited and were excited based on everything advertised, especially the U-pick flowers and the BOGO ticket promotion. The farm itself is nice and offers a variety of activities, food stations, and areas to explore, so there's definitely a lot for families to enjoy. However, our experience was disappointing due to inconsistent information and lack of clarity. The website stated the morning of our visit that flower picking was no longer available, which was one of the main reasons we chose to come. Additionally, there was confusion around the BOGO promotion. Members of our group who arrived about 30 minutes earlier were able to purchase and use the deal, but when we arrived, we were told it was only valid on Friday. This was frustrating, as it didn't align with what others in our party experienced that same day, and resulted in us paying more for the same entry. We understand that policies and availability can change, but clearer communication and consistency would make a big difference. With multiple paid options throughout the farm, honoring the promotion or offering some flexibility would have been a good gesture. Overall, it's a nice place with a lot to offer, but the inconsistencies took away from what could have been a great experience read more

We recently celebrated my daughter's birthday at the farm and had such a wonderful experience! Everything was beautiful and the atmosphere made it such a fun place for a kids' party. A huge shoutout to Penelope, who took such great care of us during the party. She was incredibly attentive, friendly, and brought such a fun, positive energy the whole time. She made sure everything ran smoothly and helped make the day stress-free for us as parents. We're so grateful for the experience and would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to host a birthday party or family outing. Thank you for helping make my daughter's day so special! read more

This place rocks! I am so glad we made it in on the last day of the season! Every employee is beyond kind and there is literally something fun for everyone! From adults drinks, gem mining, flower picking, pedal carts, the list goes on, even gift shop is awesome. We did it all! But let me tell you about their pizza! Just WOW! We all raved about it and we even conversed about their crust even being amazing! I can't wait to go back and try what creative options they come up with next year! read more

We were looking for a family-friendly place with activities for kids, and a got an online recommendation regarding Ananda Farm and it turned out to be a wonderful suggestion. Ananda Farm is a spacious, open farm offering a variety of fun and engaging activities for all ages. Our little one had an amazing time exploring everything the farm had to offer, from wandering through the corn fields and picking fresh tomatoes, to bouncing around and playing in the treehouse. We truly enjoyed our visit, it was the perfect spot to relax, connect with nature, and let kids have some active fun. Ananda Farm is a great destination for a day out with the family. read more

If you have kids and need an all day spot for them to run around, this place is for you! They have flower picking, great food and drinks (including adult options), bubbles, live music, these bicycle cart things to race, corn pits, you name it and they got it. Theres not many shady spots while walking the property so bring sunscreen and hats. Also some activities do require an extra fee, like flower picking or mining for gems, which makes this place even more expensive. If you don't have kids, it's expensive to pay the entry fee. Not sure it's worth it during the day if you don't have kids for the fee. I would check out there evening deals which I think there's discounted price and for live music and a place to get good food and drinks then it would be worth it. read more

I went to Ananda Farm for the first time this past weekend for lunch and ended up staying for like 4 hours! The farm to table food options and the drinks Janice recommended were amazing! She was so helpful in deciding what to try! There were so many cute photo ops and the flower picking was amazing - I am definitely going to buy a membership next time! read more

They caught me on Instagram with their sponsored ads and let me tell you what--it didn't disappoint! This farm has only been open for a couple weeks, but they've got so much going on and much of it is already running smoothly. We scoffed a bit at the entry price but since our kids were free under 2, that helped soften the blow! As a note for parents, try to leave the stroller at home because it's rough with all the gravel. I'd recommend a wagon or something similar if needed. Lots of great things going on here and for us, the highlights were the giant (and I mean huge) corn pit that could fit an entire daycare + their parents with an adjacent bar. We had to pull our daughter out kicking and screaming, but we had to see what else was on offer and the show must go on! Then we made it over to the corn maze which we learned had blown down in the last bout of storms. Still, they planted over it with some beautiful hemp-type flowers and they are just beautiful! We enjoyed moseying around and taking a few pics. After that, we made it over to the gem mining station which is better for older kids and then my two-year old's second favorite activity: the bubble booth. She spent so much time blowing bubbles! What a very simple but effective activity! They also have a really clever racing circle where you can hop on a tricycle and race each other. I'd love if they could add some that have seatbelts for younger kids. A lot of parents were trying to hold their kid while they were riding and it looked really difficult and maybe slightly dangerous. We had to order pizza of course and I ended up with this bbq apple situation that was very tasty. I think I accidentally got a gluten free or cauliflower crust, which I was not a fan of, but I saw someone else had a nice bubbly traditional crust that I'd try next time. We also really enjoyed not only the adult's treehouse bar but the kids treehouse/playground. This is where I spoke to one of the owners who explained some of the trails they faced after the hurricanes but he was so friendly and truly wanted to make sure we were having a good time. These seems like really good people and I want to see them succeed at this great endeavor! On the my daughter's third favorite activity: the giant pillows! Her and her dad could jump on those all day and night! On the way out, we noticed they were prepping the bonfires for lighting and that's when we really checked out the bar that had such creative woodwork and swings, etc. You really have to go in person to experience it for yourself. We ultimately upgraded our passe from 'day pass' to 'season pass' and despite them being closed for a chunk of winter break, I think we will make it back a few more times until the end of next spring! There are lots of other things you might love like: a gigantic series of slides, a bakery serving donuts, some photo ops, etc. read more

This special attraction located just south of the Skyway Bridge in St. Petersburg and just north of Bradenton in the small town of Terra Ceia for a day full of activities. They offered a special for today of $10 a person, a good deal when it is usually $25. This unique farm experience with live music, hay ride, kids activities, restaurants, gift shop, fields of flowers and produce and lots of family fun. We purchased an Ananda Farm logo vase for $25 and picked our own beautiful flowers. read more

An Honest First Visit to Ananda Farms (From a Grandparent) My wife and I took our 4-year-old grandson to Ananda Farms this past weekend. Before going, I knew nothing about the place or its reviews. Afterward, I read many of them--both positive and negative--and compared them carefully to our actual experience. This review reflects what we experienced firsthand. I am not affiliated with Ananda Farms in any way, was not compensated, and have no connection to the owners or staff. So what is Ananda Farms? It's a for-profit agrotourism business designed primarily for kids, but thoughtfully built so adults can enjoy themselves too. Kids get to run, climb, explore, imagine, learn, and just be kids--across 40+ acres of outdoor activities. Adults can relax, watch their children or grandchildren laugh and play, enjoy genuinely good food, and even have an adult beverage. There's also an educational and experiential side: covered tractor rides, flower picking, exposure to unique fruits and plants, and hands-on outdoor learning. It's rare these days to see a place so intentionally focused on imagination instead of screens. The farm was co-founded by Kristy Boss, whose vision centered on community, children, and shared experiences. Though she sadly passed away, her spirit and intent are clearly still alive there. We spent about 3.5 hours there (10:30-2:00). Admission for the three of us was $58.94. Is it cheap? No. Is it outrageously overpriced compared to similar attractions? Also no--especially considering they're still growing and expanding. My hope is that as more experiences are added, the price stays similar and the value increases. Food prices were another frequent complaint in reviews, and honestly, I didn't find that criticism very grounded. We had chicken tenders and fries, a blackened red snapper sandwich with fries (which my wife and I split), a soda, and a water. Total was $43.73. The chicken tenders tasted fresh with good texture--not fast-food spongy. The red snapper sandwich was outstanding--flavorful, well seasoned, and something I'd order again without hesitation. The fries were some of the best we've had in quite a while. Pricey? Yes. But we've paid more for far worse food at zoos, fairs, RV shows, and theme parks. The donuts deserve special mention. They're fresh-made, light, airy, and excellent. Good enough that my wife sent me back for more before we left. As for coffee and drinks: complaining about an $8 latte in today's world feels unrealistic. We also had a prickly-pear margarita from Kristy's Bar, which was very good and not watered down. At $11.69, it was in line with any comparable venue. One reviewer suggested that serving alcohol puts children at risk. That argument doesn't hold up. By that logic, kids shouldn't be allowed at Disney, the zoo, sporting events, or countless family gatherings. Adults are responsible for their behavior and for their children. What stood out to me was how kids were allowed to be kids. The farm rotates staff through activity areas, and there are eyes everywhere. Many of those eyes belong to older staff who clearly understand childhood. Kids run, climb, fall, laugh, maybe cry--and then get back up. That's real life. That's learning. We also enjoyed live music during lunch. The performer was engaging and involved the kids with instruments, which added a great layer to the experience. The gift shop offered unique items and local products, including specialty honey. Finally, the staff. People smiled--genuinely. Conversations felt warm and real. At one point, a staff member became emotional talking about how much they care about the farm and how hard some reviews have been. That kind of pride and connection is rare. Is Ananda Farms perfect? No. ADA accessibility could improve in some areas, and Florida heat is Florida heat. But this is a place that clearly listens, cares, and is actively trying to get better. If you come looking to complain, you'll find something. If you come open-minded, you'll likely leave smiling. We did--and we'll be back with our grandkids. read more

Really great time, family, friendly, lots of stuff to do. The owner and staff are welcoming and interactive.

It's quite pricey, and my husband was excited for the apple pie cider while I was looking forward to a fresh donut. After several attempts and being told to come back later, there were still no donuts or cider. It was disappointing for the adults, but the kids had fun. Overall, I wouldn't recommend it or return. read more

My sister and I found this gem over the weekend. What a spectacular place. Their story hits you right in the heart. Lots to do, food and drink. The carrot cake donuts and pizza were out of this world. I highlight those because that is what I had to eat. Based on my experience I am sure there is alot of good food. A fantastic place to spend the day. So much to do or just relax. All of the team members we came in contact with were so friendly and fun. Their loyalty and commitment is very evident. I look forward to my next visit. I excited to see how they grow. Keep up the great work. read more

Our family of five (kids age 7-11) went on St PAtricks Day and we were blown away by the amenities, fun stuff for kids, FOOD, music and friendly staff. Lots of bathrooms, places to sit and hang out, shade and buildings. The Corn Room and Pillow bounce house were highlights. The food was unexpectedly great! The culture of this place was off the Richter scale with friendly well versed staff that seemed more like a family and the story behind this place was worth listening to one of the staff tell. Great vision. Great family day! Highly recommend. $$ read more

Wow!! We have needed a beautiful, fun, outdoor place exactly like this for years! Ananda Farm was so much fun my daughter didn't want to leave. We decided to stop by on a Friday morning and it wasn't crowded and bc it's mid November the weather wasn't too hot. They have a corn pit, air pillow for jumping, 3 barrel slides, an awesome playground and tractor bikes. The 2 story beer garden is so beautiful and I bet at night it's so pretty to sit under the string lights. Such a cool new spot for our area. read more

Not a Real Farm - More Like a Party Venue Disguised as Agritourism Ananda Farms is taking advantage of agricultural (AG) zoning to build and operate without proper permits or safety inspections. What's happening here doesn't look like farming -- it looks like a commercial entertainment venue hidden under the label of "agritourism." The constant events are disruptive to the surrounding homes and completely change the quiet, rural character of Terra Ceia. Instead of being a peaceful farming community, the area now feels like an attraction -- and that's exactly what this place is acting as, not a farm. The prices are high for what you get, and it's concerning to see so much alcohol being served around children. It feels inappropriate and unsafe. If you're looking for a real farm experience, this is not it. What's going on here hurts the community and undermines what true agriculture in Terra Ceia should be about. read more

We went for Halloween/fall with flower picking and a pumpkin patch. Sorry excuse for a pumpkin patch and the flower picking was closed. They offered us to come back, but we drove from Orlando to do the event. We were forced to partake for 30 minutes before we realized the rest of the farm was a children's catered place with a bar that had an hour line. We ended up leaving and going to a different place. Sucks because it was advertised well but I really didn't enjoy it for the price. read more
