    I placed an order on December 31, 2025 and did not receive it until January 16, 2026. Not only did…read moreshipping take nearly 3 weeks with no response provided to requests for order and update and when I called for an update, associate was extremely rude on phone and seemed bothered that I was asking, but what was sent is awful and basically inedible due to the sour and spoiled taste. I am attaching pictures to show the difference between the same items purchased at our grocery store compared to how sad and rotten what you sent is.

    **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.

    Cool farm/petting Zoo. The animal selection was pretty diverse. The price for food to feed the…read moreanimals was reasonable. The staff is a little busy and all over the place. The Animal homes all seem pretty good. Free to explore but give them a nice donation.

    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.

    We visited Green Meadows on a Sunday morning. It was not crowded. Entry was $18 for ages 2 and…read moreover, a head of lettuce to feed the animals is $6 and pony rides were $5. We fed the animals, rode a pony, played in the corn pit and on the playground as well as took a tractor ride. We saw pigs, donkeys, alpacas, and our favorite the bunnies. We were able to do everything we wanted to do in under 2 hours. There are a few photo ops. All employees we encountered were pleasant. We all enjoyed it but I felt it was expensive.

    A true connection between children and what's remains of Florida's farm animals. Green Meadows…read morePetting Farm has been an iconic institution for Florida's children over the years. Unfortunately, for most of us who know it was closed ,but it has now reopen at this new location. The new green meadow petting Farm is better than ever updated and supported by Osceola County. They are currently working every day to update it and to bring more attractions and more animals to continue the connection for the next generation.. our recent visit there indicates this very creed that brought us to them many decades ago. I will not elaborate the numerous emotions a parent may have watching their child touch a chicken or learn about a cow or other farm implements and machinery in a safe, clean, environment , but rather tell you go take your child and experience it for yourself. Admission is reasonable, especially for the various things that you could do there with your family any given day of the week. Parking is ample and spaces are wide, not only for your car, but for your children running in their meadows under a clear sky.. Thank you, Green Meadow Farms, especially to your staff for continuing to have the same great attitude ,even after all these years. We will continue to support you through the next generation..
