I visited Sweetwater Farms the other day with my friend mark, and photographed their 6 acre facility just past the airport here in Tampa, FL. They are a community funded, volunteer driven all-organic farm that provides local residents and a fresh foods market with produce. They are a big example of Community Supported Agriculture, a type of farming that focuses on many members banding together to reap the rewards of growing their own food. find out more at the Sweetwater Organic Farms website, www.sweetwater-organic.org.
After that, mark offered to take me to a bit more secretive location, the Berns' Steakhouse Farm. This upscale Tampa restaurant grows all their produce on a small farm located on the corner of waters ave and the veterans expressway (map). There was no one there, so we walked through the gate and snapped some photos, and snagged a few other things.
unfortunately, this goof forgot the card reader, so there will be no pictures until I update again from home. Oh, and the Berns' had GREAT potatoes!
