Our farm is an island oasis located in the urban Tampa landscape. Our 200 member CSA has small fields and tropical orchards tucked in between the wooded areas of our land. Sweetwater creek runs through our farm with a small walk bridge spanning the waterway that is home to many fish, sometimes otters and occasionally a manatee. It is a wonderful place to meet a friend for lunch, have a group meeting, help on the farm or just play in the mud. Not to mention that we grow great food from September through May. Internships available. We feature a wonderful Sunday Market/Music Series open to the public. For more info visit our website at www.sweetwater-organic.org

OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE:

Nov-May: CSA Membership, Sunday Farmers' Market, Educational Field Trips for Visiting Groups (all ages), Workshops on gardening & sustainable living skills, Outdoor Movies, Seasonal Celebrations and lots more!

Sept-June: Volunteering, Internships
