As the mother of the bride, I am devastated and furious. Twelve days before my daughter's wedding,…read morethe owners email us--without even the basic decency of a phone call--to say they are shutting down and will not be providing the services we already paid for. I am watching my daughter's joy turn into panic and heartbreak because of how abruptly and coldly this is handled. They refuse to issue any refund, leaving us with a major financial loss and scrambling to rebuild essential parts of the wedding at the last minute. The stress and emotional toll this puts on our family is overwhelming, and it is entirely due to the way this business chooses to handle its closure. We are now desperately hoping that other vendors in the community will step forward with support or discounted services to help salvage my daughter's day. No family should ever be put in this position so close to a wedding.

Just weeks out from my friends wedding they cancel and handle the process in an extremely…read moreunprofessional way. I'd take my business elsewhere if you're looking to make lasting memories.

First time visiting Keel Farms and overall, we had a good experience!…read more I really liked the atmosphere. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, and we chose to sit outside where the live music was playing. It was comfortable and well ventilated, and as the evening went on, it actually cooled down nicely. They have live music on the weekends, but I thought the volume was just right -- we could still easily carry on a conversation without having to talk over the music. I ordered the NA Rose, which I thought was delicious! It was a little on the sweeter side for me, but I still really enjoyed it. For an appetizer, I got the Southern Board and it was SO good! There were several delicious options, and I especially enjoyed all the pickled items. It was very plentiful and definitely shareable, but honestly, there was enough that it could easily be a meal on its own. For my main, I ordered the Keel Salad. I really enjoyed it, and the pork belly was such a good addition and made it a little different from your typical grilled chicken Cobb salad. The vegetables were fresh, and I would definitely order this again. The only downside for us was the wait for our food. We waited well over an hour for our entrees. Our waiter was good about keeping us updated and explained that the kitchen/tickets were backed up. He continued to reassure us that our food was coming, which I appreciated. We did get our appetizer first, but there was still a pretty long wait before our mains came out. That being said, I really enjoyed the food, atmosphere, outdoor seating, and live music. Hopefully the long wait was just an unusually busy night because I would definitely come back and give Keel Farms another try!

We had a really great time here! We didn't have a full grasp on all the options before we showed up…read morebut man there is a lot! We ended up doing wine tasting with Marshall and also a tour with Ryan and both of those experiences were great. They definitely get very busy so if you plan to eat there make a reservation.

It was an AMAZING visit. HIGHLY recommend!!!!!…read more Went with "kids" aged 11-22 yrs and this was the first time for most of us. I just can't say enough good things about our experience and about Gus and his whole staff (including the horses). He did a phenomenal job teaching everyone about how to handle our horses and carefully matched each rider with the right mount. Even our most nervous riders were smiling and confident by the time we hit the trail.

I booked this experience for my husband and I for his birthday. Gus was direct and accommodating,…read morehowever I expected a little more of a trail ride. We rode out from his stable down his driveway to the road where the horses were walking on the pavement and around a basketball goal (he was directing us to walk them in the grass however, there was very little room to do this because it was in the right of way) and then he had us heard cattle which was not fun because we aren't experienced, and it ended up being more stressful than enjoyable. One of his horses had an injury on his back and hoof so he was limping and I had to lean forward as to not bother his sore - in my opinion it was not worth the money. It's not an actual "trail ride". Its up and down someone's property and street. He also had his daughter come in on a Saturday to help out which was odd. I'm being generous by giving 3 stars.

The farm was well maintained and from start, to finish, the staff was friendly and helpful. The delight of the whole experience was holding the baby goats, they were so adorable. Beware the goats move around freely and may have a bathroom break at any given time :).

Thank you, Yelp reviewers, for writing such glowing reviews. They are the reason Melissa and I…read morebooked the Saturday morning session 4/10/21. We loved everything about it! We brought our mats, masks (not needed), water bottles (goats liked them, too, so we didn't use them after they inspected them), and high hopes to have a good time. We were not disappointed. Before yoga, the owner talked about goat etiquette as Mistletoe, one of the older goats, wandered amongst us - maybe 25 to 35 of us. A few baby goats by the back of the enclosed area also roamed. Our yoga instructor was introduced to us, and she let us know that she did not mind if we paid more attention to the goats than to her. By the way, she was excellent. But the goats were more tempting to enjoy. Just before the yoga class started, the owner opened a gate and about 50 goats entered our area! There were young ones and slightly older ones, males and females, and goats of every color. The next 45 min. was spent doing a little yoga (instructor had goats around her and on her & she kept going) and hugging, petting and holding goats. After class, we posed for pictures and lingered a little longer with the goats that had not yet meandered away for lunch. We did not buy any goat cheese, goat fudge, or jam, but we were tempted. This was a wonderful time and we'll be back with friends and family.

They offer so many fun activities for free for kids with mini games around the area but also free huge corn maze (with photo ops), hay rides, and petting Highland cows. There is an entrance fee of $14 however, once you go through everything though it's well worth the money spent. Lots of local food vendors and even offer the famous corn dogs that people wait hours in line for at the Strawberry Festival. And to my benefit, there was no wait for the corn dogs this year around which I was so excited about. Lots of adorable pumpkin photo spots and sooo much more than I can write about. Definitely come check this place out if you're in the area! BEST PART: I even saw a Fox Squirrel at the Fox Squirrel Corn Maze (I thought it was a made up lol)

He made sure we all understood what to do and guided us through the process without being overbearing. We were able to take in the gorgeous sites and just enjoy our time without having to worry about a thing! The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that the communication leading up to this event was a little rough. We had to reschedule a few times, due to storms and a couple in our party getting sick, and texts/calls were not answered in a timely manner. There was also some confusion about where to meet and what time and such. However, that did not derail the actual experience, which was lovely. I would recommend, just be aware that your communication attempts may go unanswered for a while.

Communication was superior when setting up the reservations and the day as it progressed…read more A very friendly and knowledgeable staff. They chose horses according to your abilities and acquainted you with them before riding. It was a scenic ride thru Green Swamp Wilderness and was enjoyed by all riders. We definitely would go again!!

This isn't just a beach ride--it's a beautiful, ethical experience with rescue horses who truly…read morelove what they do. We had an absolutely incredible experience with C Ponies, and I can't recommend them enough--especially if you're looking for something unique, meaningful, and truly unforgettable. What makes this experience so special goes far beyond just "riding horses on the beach." These are rescue horses--many of them coming from difficult or neglectful situations--and C Ponies has created something really beautiful by giving them a second chance at life. You can feel how deeply loved and well cared for these horses are. They are healthy, happy, and genuinely seem to enjoy their work. One of the most fascinating parts was learning that the water is actually healing for them. Being in the ocean supports their joints and overall wellness, so this experience isn't just fun for us--it's beneficial for them, too. That alignment made the entire experience feel even more special and ethical. Our guide, Raina, was fantastic. She had the perfect mix of humor (yes, some delightfully corny jokes), warmth, and knowledge. More importantly, you could tell she truly loves these horses and what she does. She made everyone feel comfortable, safe, and engaged the entire time. Walking the horses into the water--and even getting to experience them swimming--was surreal. Each horse had its own personality, which made it even more fun. You could tell they were relaxed, confident, and happy to be there. It didn't feel forced or transactional--it felt like a partnership between humans and animals. Living in Sarasota, it also meant a lot to support a business that is doing such meaningful work in our own SW Florida community. C Ponies is not only creating unforgettable experiences, but they are actively rescuing, rehabilitating, and giving these horses a life filled with purpose and care. If you're on the fence--book it. It's one of those rare experiences that stays with you long after it's over.

Turkey Creek Stables in Plant City has false advertising on their website. It states that rides are…read more$20 for 1 hour, but when we arrived, we were told it was actually $45 per hour. On top of that, there was also a $5 fee that was never mentioned upfront. When we questioned the price difference, we were told that the website with the $20 pricing has supposedly been up for the past 3 years, and that they "use a different website" as well, which was very confusing and misleading for customers. I had a very disappointing and unsafe experience at Turkey Creek Stables and would not return. During my ride, my horse and another rider's horse began racing each other at a speed that felt completely out of control. Despite repeatedly trying to get my horse to stop, I had no control over the situation. The horses were going so fast that the rest of the group did not return from the guided ride until about 15 minutes after us. I ended up being thrown off my horse and fell directly onto my back. I got the wind knocked out of me and later went to urgent care, where I was told I had significant bruising, including a large contusion on my inner thigh. What was most concerning was the lack of response afterward. No one immediately ran over or properly checked to make sure I was okay. The only person who took the time to come over, check on me, and give me basic advice like icing and taking Tylenol was the hispanic man (the staff member). Aside from that, there was very little concern shown for my safety. I was also very uncomfortable with how the situation was handled afterward. A front desk comment about getting "certified cowgirl stamps" and mentioning my nails being intact felt extremely unprofessional and dismissive given what had just happened. Additionally, the guides appeared very young and not adequately prepared for handling emergencies. During a guided ride, I would expect at least one experienced guide in the front and one in the back to ensure safety and control, but that was not the case here. Overall, I'm highly disappointed with the lack of safety, supervision, and professionalism. I would not recommend this experience and would not go back.

After multiple planning sessions we walked into the venue the morning of the wedding and everything was absolutely breathtaking. The team was able to capture our vision, and then somehow made it better that we could have imagined. The lack of stress the day of was all because of how wonderful Michele and her team are. I was able to show up on our wedding day and just fully immerse myself in the moment with my friends and family. Michele is professional and experienced in this industry. She has a plan for EVERYTHING and I mean everything! Multiple family members guests after the wedding said it had been "the best wedding they've ever been to". The food from three C's was cooked to perfection, which also received an overwhelming amount of compliments. I wish I could do it again just to be able to work with Michele, her vendors, and team again. I could write a novel but to keep it short, if you are wanting to book here, do it!! You won't regret it.
