My quest for a homegrown tomato took me to this business. My first trip there they were closed even…read morethough a check on the internet said they should have been open. Note to self...call before we leave. A few hours later, I called and they had opened. I mentioned to the owner that the internet said they were open earlier and she said they just corrected their business hours. The proprietor was very nice and helpful. I saw the entrance lined with shelves loaded with jars of Shannon Drake Farms jams, jellies, Amish canned tomatoes and chow chow along with Shannon Drake Farms varieties of salsas. There is a rack full vegetable seeds for those inclined to test their green thumb. There is a small room with vegetables in it like tomatoes, squash, onions, bell peppers, potatoes, zucchini and maybe another two I cannot remember. I looked for the pictures that I took and cannot find them in my phone. If/when I find them I will post them. The business advertises they sell beef and pork. We didn't explore the meats this trip. I bought two red tomatoes, two green, baby squash, cherry butter for dad and hubs picked up two of their salsas. The baby squash were tender and delicious. One tomato was sweet like candy and the other tasted like it was bought at the grocery store. The fried green tomatoes I made were delicious. Hubs tried the medium bacon salsa and said it was good. I will return to see about the homegrown tomatoes I am in search of. Please visit and support our local businesses.

I saw an ad for Ryland Pike Farmers Market and decided to drop by to check out their produce. We…read morewent Saturday and I was surprised at how small the business is. They pack a lot of foods in the area. It was crowded when we arrived. I think there were 6 people ahead of us and very little room to walk around. There was lots of produce and people picking up to go orders of steaks, ribs and smoked pork chops. I was thinking about a steak and the aromas definitely had me wanting steak. They were sold out of the ribs and smoked pork chops. We were lucky enough to get a t-bone and a ribeye. They looked great. I also picked up fresh yellow squash to stew. We had 3 meals from the 2 steaks. The steaks were delicious and the meat tender. If you are interested in their meats for sale on the weekends, please call ahead to reserve your selections. Next time we will call ahead so hubs can get the ribs he was hoping to eat.

I like Clift Farm! I was skeptical when this land was stripped of nearly all its natural trees and…read morehedges that hid the farmland from view as you drove by. I really hate when large sections of land are just stripped bare like this (I think its called felling and logging). My sweet Mom used to live across the street at Merrill Gardens and we would take joy rides around Clift Farm with Momma always asking, "I wonder what's behind all those trees????" And I would tell her "Mom, it's a farm!" At that time, CF had a much smaller footprint, with a barn-sized/shaped structure and a good-sized fruit and vegetable stand. Enter the new Clift Farm, which is described as a "Southern-style, mixed-use community built on the success of the century-old Clift family farm" on their website. The residential section offers townhouses, condos, single family homes, cottage houses, estate houses, and multifamily homes. A total of 1,735 units. A Publix anchors the "retail village" which is home to numerous restaurants, facilities such as a Shell/Twice Daily, a preschool and daycare, a car wash, an oil change center, a bank, nail bar, pet food store, a couple of medical offices, and more-with nature trails, event spaces and workspaces included! Restaurants/food options include Nothing Bundt Cakes, Papa Murphy's, Rock N Roll Sushi, Slim Chickens, Starbucks, Jonathan's Grille, Culver's Five Guys, Jim 'N Nicks, Maple St. Biscuit Company, Chick-fil-A, Cava, Bad Daddy's Burger Bar, Cava, Taco Mama, Walk On's Sports Bistreaux, with more restaurants on the "coming soon" list (Capriotti's, Playa Bowls, Cinnaholic, and Steam Boys). Clift Farm's history dates back to the late 1800s and has been passed on from generation to generation beginning with John Henry Clift and most recently Jack and Lillian Clift who have called the farm "home" since 1946. It's massive in terms of acres but their website doesn't indicate the number of acres. I would guess 600+ acres. Although reluctant at first to see the land stripped for the sake of progress, I have to say I've enjoyed having this mixed-use development so close to home. It is a convenient meet up space for my family and I've enjoyed the car wash, gas station, Chick-fil-A, Nothing Bundt Cakes, Pulix, and Johnathan's on numerous occasions. Thank you, Clift family, for this development!

I have come here for 2 years in a row now for their wreath making class and I absolutely love it!…read moreThey are a small lavender farm (hence the name) and they have a little shop with lavender products and hold different craft shops. The wreath shop sells out incredibly fast. The wreath shop is outside, but covered and there are outside heaters. They serve hot apple lavender cider, lavender pound cake, their lavender cookies (which are my favorite) and more. You can also find them at some of the local famers market during the market season. I highly recommend their business and their products and I will keep coming to their wreath activity as long as I can get a seat!
