I was looking for something unique and fun to take my grandkids to . My grandson is very interested in organic gardening he's been doing that for over a year now at home. I had never heard of Sweetwater organic farm until recently. They have a tour of the farms at 1;00 on Sundays so we went to check it out today. The tour was very interesting and informative! My grandsons were fascinated with it! After the tour we walked around the farmers Market. We had a fresh smoothie, bought some produce and some plants. They have a small outdoor stage with seating area where you can watch the performances. It was very enjoyable and relaxing. Various musicians perform from 12 until 3 p.m. The farm is run by volunteers of all ages from 16 up. My grandson asked if he would be able to volunteer.

Read moreStayed on Sweetwater Organic Community Farm in the tiny house AirBnB for almost a week! What a fantastic community farm, truly a hidden Tampa Gem. The farm itself is beautiful and has natural walking paths, a Sunday Farmer’s market, and Yoga on the Porch, plus volunteer farm days!
