Orlando has many local, family-owned farms that could always use the community’s support and business. Visiting an open-air, working farm is the perfect alternative to standing in lines at the grocery store.
Florida farms are offering a variety of ways for people to enjoy their freshly harvested crop. Some farms are allowing limited time you-pick while others are offering online orders and curbside pickup.
