They have an amazing nursery just full of every kind and size of plant you can imagine. All of this is very well organized, and they answered all of my questions. Believe me, I ask a lot of questions. We bought three 25 gallon "Christmas Palm Trees" and they promptly came out to our home and planted them. What a difference this has made to our Sebastian experience! Gorgeous trees and an exceptional experience. We went back yesterday and shopped in their farm stand, which is a part of the nursery. We bought fresh corn still in the husks and delighted in their soft serve vanilla orange swirl orange ice cream. The offerings in both the farm stand and the nursery are too extensive to list, so you need to go there to see in person. They are in a rural part of the county just up 66th Avenue from 20th Street. The owners were both born and raised in Indian River County. They are extremely knowledgeable about everything they sell. The nursery and farm stand are on land that was owned and tended by the Peterson family since 1913. My wife and I so enjoy going there.

This Florida citrus producer regular travels up to North Carolina and Virginia to see their fruit direct to customer. But given the two hour window to find their truck, I always wondered if it was worth the effort? But after one visit, I can tell you they are totally worth the effort! The Citrus Unlimited truck stopped in Cary, NC near Cary Crossroads and I popped in. $48 for some Sol Zest mandarins in a 20 lb. box and I'm back in the car and heading home. The box had about 50 or so pieces of fruit, all in pristine shape and condition. I peel a couple and pop some slices into my mouth and wow! So good, this fruit was super fresh and these Sol Zest mandarins might be the best citrus fruit I've had in my life. You may be doubting me but the only way you're going to find out is to check out their schedule and get some!

From homemade soap, lip baum and lotions to goat milk and fresh eggs, they are sure to become a fast favorite. "Tropical Monkey Farts," "Rugged," and "Hey Dude" - they are among the soap favorites at home. As for lip baum, it's Juicy Mango and Vanilla. Carlsward Farms has a number of different varieties to chose from. They are also "holiday" specific depending on the time of year. My youngest daughter and I recently visited Carlsward Farms itself and she wanted to adopt one of the Nigerian dwarf goats. I'm like, "no, Rebecca - we aren't adopting any goats." As for the farm, the Brown family homestead has been around for decades. From dairy goats, chickens and other farm animals - to freshly grown vegetables - it's a cool place to visit. Five stars to Carlsward Farms in Vero Beach. A small family business that deserves some attention. William E. Lewis Jr. Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

I have suffered from osteoarthritis for several years, have bulging discs and spend most days in pain. I have taken opioids for pain but I don't want to take pills the rest of my life, I use sea extracts to relieve pain, which are expensive and sleep with a heating pad every night because the pain is severe; I refer to it as "screaming" I purchased the CBD lotion bar today and late in the afternoon my pain was severe so I rubbed the stick on my neck, within 45 seconds the pain was gone; I couldn't believe it, it lasted for hours. I am going to bed without my heating pad. I Can't remember the last time that happened. To be in constant pain every day and then to suddenly be pain free is something I'm still trying to believe. If you have pain of any kind you have to try this. I can't believe how fast and how well it works. Pain free without heat or medication, it's miraculous.

**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.

They have SCW's small chocolates from Italy which she was excited to see in the states. The store is on the small side but not difficult to get around. They have on the south wall a decent selection of wines and champagnes. Some pretty high quality labels. The middle of the market has things like glasses, cutting boards, some more wines and various other kitchen items. All looked to be of high quality. The north end of the market has a fridge/freezer section and a meat, cheese and deli counter. They have some meals for 2 advertised on the board above but keep in mind they are frozen, which didn't really work for us. But they do have plant based options which is nice. The employees are busy but are happy to help you if you need anything. Overall a good experience but knowing a little about wine, the prices are a bit more than I'd pay for the wines I saw.
