Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How can I order from your Farmstand?
How can I order from your Farmstand?
How To Order:
How To Order:
(1) You can order right here from any of the links above and pay online thru Ecwid or when coming for curbside pickup
How to Get what you ordered:
How to Get what you ordered:
(1) Due to our commitment to accessibility, we are NOT currently open to the public and offer home delivery of our honey and curbside pickup for all other items available in the farmstand while we work on building accessibility features, such as an ADA ramp to replace the 4 steps that currently allows access to the building. Due to the flooding of the farm during Milton (waist high) and the collapse of the animal barn during Ian, these features are taking longer than we had hoped and we thank you for your patience as we continue rebuilding the farm from the past two hurricanes.
Since the farm is not currently open to the public (yet), we have no regular farmstand hours at this time. When you place your order, you can select Curbside with a time and we will make sure the gate is open for your pickup time.
(2) For HONEY orders only at this time, we offer free home delivery to Cape Coral, including Burnt Store Marina as well as Punta Gorda
(3) for LIVE BEE orders, they must be picked up at the farm on the designated pick up weekend. You will receive a text/eMail with a link to schedule your preferred pick up time 1-2 weeks before pick up.

No Tours or Public Visits At This Time
We are still rebuilding after Hurricane Ian and Hurricane Milton, including waist high flooding and a full barn collapse. Because of that, we don't have safe accessibility features yet, like a ramp to replace the steps at our entrance.
Until that work is done, we are not able to host tours, groups, or visitors. This includes garden clubs, schools, homeschoolers, and community groups.
We know that's disappointing. We want every visitor to be able to move around safely, and we are working hard to get there.
Since the farm is not currently open to the public, we have no regular farmstand hours at this time. In the meantime, you can still order online and pick up curbside, no walk-in needed
When tours resume, we will post them on this page.
What We Do (and Don't) Sell
What We Do (and Don't) Sell
We’re a small family farm and we keep our offerings focused, so we can maintain quality and care for everything we produce.
If a product is not listed on this page above, it is not something we currently produce or sell.
We receive many calls asking about items such as:
Eggs
Chicks
Processed Chickens to eat
Turkeys
Ducks
Goats
Whole hogs
Plants that grow up north, but not in Florida (such as lavender)
Other livestock or farm or bulk products
At this time, we do not sell these items.
Our farm focuses on a limited number of products and services, so we can do them well and responsibly. Expanding into many different animals or products would require more space, time, and infrastructure than our small family farm can manage properly.
Keeping our operation focused allows us to maintain the standards we expect for animal care, product quality, and farm management.

Please check our online farm shop to see what is currently available for curbside pick up.
If its listed above, but has no active link, then it is Coming Soon - YAY!
If it isn’t listed above, it means we do not offer it at this time and probably won't in the near future.
Are your products Certified Organic?
Are your products Certified Organic?
We are not "certified organic", our practices are "beyond organic",
and it is on purpose. Why you ask?...And what do you mean by that?
Organic used to be a certification done by farmers. Farmers set the bar, farmers checked each other, and everybody knew what it meant. Now, it is handled by the government and it is built for big farms shipping food all across the country.
Honey works differently. Currently, there is no USDA organic standard for honey. USDA never finalized its organic beekeeping rules. Here is why that is so hard: a honey bee forages 2 to 3 miles from her hive. That is over 12,000 acres. Someone would have to control everything that blooms in that radius.
We think the world of certified organic farmers. Those growers pay real money and keep real records to hold a high standard, and we are cheering for every one of them.
Certification exists so a shopper can trust food grown far from home. We sell to neighbors. We would rather just answer your questions about what we do or how we do things.
What we do:
We use organic, GMO-free, open pollinated seed
Our hives stay antibiotic free
Our gardens and growing beds stay -cide free. Our bees, beneficial insects and birds out there work hard doing that hard part for us keeping pests in balance.
Our aquaponics system stays -cide free too. It is one closed loop. Fish, water, roots, greens. Anything strong enough to treat one would harm the other
We use organic, GMO-free chicken feed
Beyond that, we use what Mother Nature has blessed us with
This is the same food our family eats every day.
What we leave off:
There is an approved input list for certified organic growers. It is called the OMRI list. There is plenty on it that we leave off our farm, even though we could use it and still call ourselves organic (if we were certified, which we are not and why we refer to what we do as "Beyond Organic").
Ask us anything.
Want to know what we do about pests? How we handle the honey? Send us a message and we will tell you. That is the nice part about a small farm. There is always someone here to ask.
That is what buying local really gets you.
