It took my family over an hour to drive to La Vang Tropical Farm from St.Petersburg. The farm had…read moretall grasses that covered the walking path around the farm and seem like it was not maintenance in a long period of time. We decided not to walk around the farm walkway path in order to avoid mosquitoes bites. Everyone in my family tried to stay in the shade because it was hot and very humid. It was impressive that there is large fish pond outside with big fishes. The owner was very busy. She was by herself to do multiple tasks at same times such as selling tropical fruits and sugar cane juice to customers. The restroom was cleaner than I was expected. I will not come back, because I can get tropical fruits at local markets in for the same price.

We drove 2.3 hrs to a huge orchard of unripe fruits. It's hot, mosquitoes buzzing (we brought spray) and the place is not beautiful. It's dirty and run down. The employees were rude. Prices for the fruits that were sold are more expensive than what's sold at grocery stores. There's a clean bathroom in the back and a cute kitten ‍ on site. Otherwise it's a disappointment.

This used to be our favorite place to come pick delicious tomatoes. The previous owner grew one variety and one variety only That they staggered planting so you could pick beautiful size tomatoes from December well into April. They lost their lease and Farmer mikes. You pick took it over and seems to grow more flowers than vegetables. We went there twice last year and we're not able to get strawberries on either occasion And the tomatoes we were able to pick were mediocre at best. So if you're looking for a place to consistently pick tomatoes I don't think this is your best option, but I will say the strawberries I picked were quite good. They also have lots of things for kids with a bouncy station, etc.. They also grow a plentiful supply of beautiful sunflowers so if you're looking for fresh flowers, I think you will be very happy.

One of the highlights here? Free juice samples. Let's just say they did their job well -- after tasting a few, I walked out with two extra pints I hadn't planned on buying. The juices are refreshing, flavorful, and perfectly balanced, making it hard to resist grabbing a few to-go. The staff was friendly and helpful, and while a few items leaned on the pricier side, it was still a fun, worthwhile stop. Whether you're stocking up on snacks for the road, picking up souvenirs, or just want to sip on fresh Florida citrus juice, Sun Harvest Citrus is a great place to add to your itinerary.

This place is a ripoff and scammers. I came here with my family.. no fruits in the garden but they…read moredid sell fruits.. old to be exact!! They had sugar cane that tasted like grass and old. We told the lady we want 3 cups but saw that some sugar cane was already squeezed and sitting there murky. It was old and they tried to sell us old sugarcane.. we ended up getting 2 cups and it was gross. I am never the one to check the menu prices when I go out to eat and I wish I asked because we ordered 2 dishes here that WERE $60 EACH. The portions were ridiculous and we were basically eating in an outhouse with freaking paper plates and plastic utensils that they didn't even provide us with properly. We were a table of 7 and they gave us 4!!! We had to keep asking and ended up sharing plates or get our own. The food wasn't even that good and they charged gratuity for non-existent service. They didn't even have a sign or menu that mentioned adding automatic gratuity. We were going to tip regardless but this is absurd with all the hidden fees. We bought coconut, mangos, custard apple and they were all old or rotten when we went home to eat it. The only thing good was the mango. The custard apple was overpriced and $60 for 5!!! The guy working there told me that it was 10lbs. How is 5 fruits 10lbs?! We drove 2.5 hours from Tampa to come here and it was a waste of time.

Overall if you enjoyed Asian fruit and experience it something to check out.

Their produce section is huge and basically so is the meat, deli and bakery sections! What I like about it is the different brands, those you don't find at your standard grocery stores. And I really like shopping here for holiday gifts, as you can put together some pretty good and creative gift baskets/bags. Today we got a nice deal on some frozen Key West pinks and a good looking bone in prime rib for our holiday dinner. We also found some jumbo sweet potatoes, fresh beets and a variety of food items for gift baskets. It was fun, except for maneuvering around all the people and their baskets. I think they need wider aisles or smaller shopping carts! And although it is a little pricey, I don't mind over-paying every once in a while just for the experience.

TRADER JOE'S ON STEROIDS ?…read more Well, its not Trader Joe's, just a much larger resemblance with similar traits. The exterior is a big red barn with a stationary two tone 1957 Ford truck between the exit and entrance enhancing that old southern American charm. Immediately enthralled by the spacious aisles and high ceilings with large food section identifier signs allowing simple navigation. Noticed the presence of several floor managers discussing product inventory and sports - i think. Bee lined directly to the bakery and viewed fresh baked key lime pies and other attractive pastry. Had to try the Pistachio Cranberry Biscotti which were enormous. The staffer advised that it was a good choice since they were just put out fresh. The biscotti were $12.99 per pound or $1.69 each. The espresso biscotti and chocolate biscotti both looked good too. Loved the hard crunch even after I dipped it into my morning coffee which enhanced the delightful Pistachio flavor. Everything was organized and appeared fresh. The wine section was large with every bottle fronted for easy visual. It was an adventure at Farmer's Joe's and will return for some fresh bread soon.

We decided to make a trip to St. James City originally to visit La Vang( terribly disappointed with that place) . We came across Hot Tropic by accident and it was such a pleasant surprise. The couple are so incredibly sweet and friendly. Fruits are priced fairly, showcased beautifully, and tastes very fresh. I don't think you can pick your own fruits in the garden but the fruits are out in the open for you to choose from. Fresh coconuts are stored in the fridge and are HUGE. The coconut meat is so creamy and firm. They offer sugarcane juice, meat turnovers, pickled mangos, lychees, guavas, mangos, and more! Co Bach was so so kind and honest with what she sells. She was very willing to help me with the coconut. Even though their fruit farm is smaller than La Vang down the street, I will be bringing my business back here any day!
