**INITIAL REVIEW**…read more Countryside Family Farms (which I will shorthand simply to Countryside for the remainder of this review), has been a staple farm for numerous produce, especially oranges and strawberries. For five generations, Countryside has provided much produce, including ruby red grapefruit, Florida oranges, honeybell tangelos, and tangerines. Sadly, the current head matriacrch of the family passed on just last year, and from what I was told, Countryside is figuring out what they will do next. Ergo, when Heather, her kids, and I went here a couple of months ago, we did not get the full experience. And to be fair, I understand and I hope Countryside is able to move onward from this monumental and sad event. Despite this, Countryside was still open to the public, albeit the areas open to the public and the Countryside Store. For this, I give Countryside much respect. And thankfully, my crew thoroughly enjoyed what was available to them at the time. For starters, the Countrywide Store has a wide array of unique items, primarily manmade crafts, homestyle candies and treats, and produce from their farm. They also have pre-made jams and jellies, and juices. The one store item that stood out to me was their flavored soft serve ice cream. Delicious! As for the outdoor area that's remained open to the public, not really much going on, but it is all beautiful. There is a large lake in which you can see right to the bottom. True the lake is kinda shallow, but it is still beautiful. There is a little pier you can walk out on too. Sadly, the bridge over the small river was closed off. There are some cutouts for picture-taking, tables for dining, and photo-ops with a classic produce truck and tractor trailer, but that is about it. Still, it should be noted this is more than enough for a farm dedicated to families and children, especially with the "touristy part" being free to enter. It should also be noted that Countryside Family Farms is one of the locations in the Treasure Coast Kid's Quest, specifically the Indian River leg of the quest. Maybe there is more to do when it is at "full operation," but it was still a fun experience nevertheless. Ultimately, I am going to give this initial visit a three out of five stars simply because they are not operating at their optimum. But for what they have, they are a-okay. I will definitely want to come back some day and check Countryside out more when they are established after their loss. But until then, I am thankful for what they could do for us and any others who come, while I also provide my condolensces for their loss.

Looking for family fun especially for the kids on the northern part of the Treasure Coast? Do you…read morealso want that family fun to technically be free as there is no admission fee? Well look no further than LaPorte Farms. Located in the Roseland area of the Treasure Coast which meets up with the southern most point of the Space Coast, LaPorte Farms (which I will shorthand to LaPorte) is an open farm consisting of a wide array of animals to see and activities to do. Designed in which everything can be seen or experience in one or two hours tops sans any major events, LaPorte is both entertaining and educational, especially for children. Starting with the animals, there are plenty of pens and large birdcage enclosures featuring many kinds of animals of both domestic farm life and... well... more "exotic" farm life. They have horses, chickens, and pigs, but also have llamas, turtles, bearded lizard, and lemurs. To add to the fun, they have named some of their animals as seen on their "Critters" Tab on their official website. Next, the activities are catered towards children and overall family experience. On site, there is a little library where you can "leave a book, take a book." This is definitely an excellent way to prepare for the Reading Challenge LaPorte hosts. Plenty of photo opportunities to be made which includes photography props including a face-cutout picture board and a "jailhouse." There is a section for little kids to ride spring rocking horses, which is a toy I haven't seen in ages. Finally off the top of my head, there are also pony rides and train rides for $5.00 per kid to partake in. Outside of the basic on site activities, LaPorte hosts many events including fishing tournaments and summer camps. They are often active in their community via their non-profit, Friends of LaPorte Farms. As a matter of fact, as of the publication of this review, LaPorte recently won the business of the month given to them by the Palm Bay Chamber of Commerce. Finally, the main house, sells food, drink, and gifts. Guests can buy packets of food to feed the critters on the farm (no outside food please), packages of eggs laid from their hens, and even honey and soap from other local businesses LaPorte are friends with. The two unique "events" the main house has is the Reading Challenge in which families can sign up their kids to partake in, and the "Pray for the Troops" box filled with toy soldiers. Overall, LaPorte is a very fun place to visit with the family. I expect such a place would be interesting to see during certain holidays such as 4th of July and Christmas. Gives reason to return for guests. For now, giving LaPorte four out of five stars. Everything is excellent, but the fifth star shall be earned if LaPorte is consistent. P.S. - LaPorte Farms is one of the locations to visit in the Treasure Coast Kids Quest for Indian River County. Families can go to the official website and/or obtain a passport from the main house at LaPorte or the Vero Beach Chamber of Commerce. At each location, passholders have to complete a task or mission. At LaPorte, you need to take a picture with Baby Girl the zebra.

Parking was simple and we were surprised they were charging for this event but as long as it's going to the upkeep of the animals we were more than fine to pay it!

There was lots of kids at the event but we got one on one time with the highland cows who even had bows in her hair! It was really hot outside so we ended up leaving after about less than an hour but still had a good time. The team cares a lot about their animals and we were happy we got to experience it.

I wish I would have gone earlier because the sunflowers seemed slightly wilted and the maze wasn't as full due to the fact that the flowers had been picked during the previous days. It was 10 dollars for admission, parking was free. Since it was due to close you could pick as many flowers as you wanted for 1 dollar each. The field was beautiful and really made for some amazing pictures. I was there for almost two hours and had a blast. They allowed dogs on leashes and even set up a designated area with a photo prop. The only downside was that it was so hot outside and they didn't sell any sort of beverages. The experience was really one of a kind.

From the moment we arrived, the family made us feel like old friends. They paired each of us--kids included--with the perfect horse, gentle and patient but full of personality. The trail itself was nothing short of magical. We wandered beneath towering trees, crossed sunlit clearings, and even spotted a few curious wildlife friends along the way. Our guide was fantastic: upbeat, knowledgeable, and incredible with the kids. Ryan kept everyone laughing, learning, and feeling confident in the saddle. What really made the experience shine was how empowered the kids felt. Watching their faces light up as they guided their horses along the trail was worth the trip alone. By the end, they were chatting nonstop about their horses like they were new best friends. This wasn't just a ride--it was an adventure, a confidence boost, and a family moment we'll treasure. If you want something truly special, this trail ride is a must. We'll be back, no question. My children are looking forward to having their Birthday Parties here!
