Spending the day at Southern Fresh Farms
Sundays at our home are spent with the kids and are for the kids which means that I am always on a hunt trying to find new interesting things to do in our small city.
And thanks to facebook events though where you can find pretty much anything to do on any given day!
However, an old friend of mine had already told me about Southern Fresh Farms in Fort Myers Florida, so when I checked facebook events and that was the first event that popped up, I had to check it out!
The farm is really easy to find and parking and entrance are FREE for adults and children. We can always appreciate free entertainment, considering we are a family of five, paid activities can turn out to be pretty costly.
As soon as you arrive you are welcomed by a bed of vegetables and flowers on both sides of the walkway. Further down you can see the beautiful bed of sunflowers. Sunflowers happen to be one of my favorite flowers but I have a real hard time keeping them alive.
As you may already know, the real fun part for the kids was obviously feeding the animals. They have goats, cows, donkeys, chickens and that was pretty much all I saw but they are super friendly and enjoy interaction with humans. The farm sells food that you can feed the animals.
Finally, we made our way into the farmers market pavilion where they sell drinks including alcoholic beverages, food, fresh veggies, jams and flowers. They also have a playground where kids can play and enjoy while parents relax and listen to live music.
Overall, it was a great time and my family and I really enjoyed our time there and will certainly return.

Thanks for providing this review. I too used the 67 steps to make some realizations, change some behaviors, and change my life some by changing my business practices. Buying it agin for myself and my now adult kids!. Have an awesome day! Cool site… I will come back soon.
I also got my cranberry hibiscus at Echo in Ft. Myers over 13 years ago and I love that they still pop up in my yard. I've been trying to find the exact macros this plant provides to your diet but all I ever come up with is info on either the tea or the flowers. I use the leaves in my salads daily when its growing fresh in my yard. I do prefer the smaller leaves for salad. Any additional info you may have is appreciated!
