Attended their fund raising event, Concert on the Farm and was highly impressed with everything, How they set up a great event area with great music within their well manicured equestrian area to the nice school, North Florida School of Special Education which is in the middle of the Farm and equestrian area. Berry Good Farms promotes job training and gives lifeskills to the community. They have summer camps and equestric therapy. They offer volunteer positions that may match your skliiset. It's Diffently worth a visit. read more

Berry Good Farms is part of the North Florida School of Special Education. The produce (and tilapia!) is grown and harvested by the students. They just won 3rd place in the innovation category at One Spark this year and intend to use the money to start a food truck for the students to sell their produce! Local restaurants even use their produce (Native Sun, Tossgreen, etc). We visited as part of Slow Food First Coast's Tour de Farm 2014 after seeing their set up at One Spark. It's on the small side (it's in the back of the school) but they grow tons of different stuff! Blueberries (their first produce, hence the name of the farm), kale, lettuce, flowers, anything you could imagine. They also have 2 large tilapia tanks and have a system in place that uses the tilapia water/waste to fertilize the plants. For the event there were FSCJ culinary students on hand making really tasty food from the Berry Good Farms produce (lettuce wraps, smoothies, wheat grass shots, etc). Not only does Berry Good Farms produce awesome products, they teach their students to grow and prepare all kinds of food. I can't wait until their food truck is on the streets! read more

Their food truck was at UF Health Proton Therapy Institute today where I am patient. I ordered the chicken wrap and an adult grilled cheese with tomato and bacon. My wife and I shared and both were indescribably good. I hope to see the truck again because I want to try the sliced turkey and brie sandwich. Highly Recommended! read more
