This week's Wednesday, our girlfriends of CHARLOTTE County (CCGF) traveled to Ft. Meyers to…read moreexperience BUCKINGHAM FARMS. We were 24 in total. When you arrive there is ample parking, and very pleasant views of their agricultural. There are 85 acres, which houses their store, small self served dining and eating area both inside, as well as outside. They have a rustic barn for special occasion events. Since we were a group of ladies, we made arrangements for service to be provided, versus self serve. In hindsight, once we completed our luncheon, we should haves opted for self served. We were told there would be an up charge for personal service, which became $7.00 per person, plus a 20% tip and tax's. This referred to as personal service was not anywhere near what was provided. First, our food orders, needed to be in days before our arrival. No appetizers were available, soup, salads etc. The room where we were assigned to was ample and pleasant. However, first we had to pay for the order we had preordered. There was ice tea, water, ice, coffee, etc. preset up. Then instead of a server delivering our entrees, a large multi-layered cart rolled in with our preordered lunches. Truly, the ambiance was immediately impaired and negligent. Our attendees, we had a mix of loving the ingredients of their orders, where others were totally disappointed. As their food was bland unfavorable and unappealing, especially at the price of $21.95 per person with a mandatory 20% gratuity. It needs to be validated that our group never has an issue with pricing of their special excursion lunch events. However, BUCKINGHAM Farms did not meet our expectations. After our lunch was served, there was no service, no one came back to ask if the food was ok, was there anything else needed. Our servers were gone. Came back to remove our plates never asked, if we were happy, how did we enjoy the food. In initially setting up the reservation, our ladies first visit to this unique venue m, were very excited. So, it was requested that after lunch, since it was an 85 acre farm, could we have a quick walking tour. Anna, the director agreed and says she would guide us around the path and explain what we were seeing in the tour. After our lunch, we were all excited. As I went to find Anna and said we are ready for the tour. Anna had a surprise look as there were others with me, act like it was the first time she heard the request! I repeated the conversation, and she said oh no. We do tours in the morning only, and there is a charge for a tour. Needless to say, what a disappointment! If your plans are to go to BUCKINGHAM Farms, our recommendation is not to go as a group. Or if you do, GO self service!

We were looking for things to do in Fort Myers and Sun Harvest Citrus popped up on the list. This…read moreplace is easy to spot with the giant orange out front. I was unsure of how worthwhile stopping at a citrus market place would be, but we had some time to kill and Sun Harvest Citrus ended up being such a good find! There's plenty of parking. As we walked up to enter the market, everyone (and I mean EVERYONE) was eating ice cream from here. These people got the memo - the ice cream is where it's at! They also have a juice bar in the back where you can sample the fresh juices. I don't even like orange juice and even I found the cranberry orange and strawberry orange juices to be sweet, delicious, and refreshing - the perfect treat in the Florida heat. They had other flavors like grapefruit juice, classic orange juice, tropical orange (pineapple), and a peach orange. Juices are available by the half gallon and single bottles. They even had a chips and salsa sample which is also made fresh. We grabbed some local tasty treats as souvenirs - popcorn, salt water taffy, jerky, coffee, cookies, etc. They also have homemade key lime pie - available by the whole pie, half, and slice. And of course, we had to get the ice cream! I got the orange dreamsicle cone, which is their orange soft serve and vanilla swirled together. Great flavor, great texture - no complaints! There was also a key lime flavor (also delicious) in addition to more classic flavors. They have three sizes - kiddie, single, and jumbo. The kiddie size was the perfect little pick-me-up treat. You can also get fresh juices and other bakery items. We found a coupon in one of our Florida brochures for the ice cream which they honored without issue. We also saw a coupon for the big bottles of juice. There's a couple tables inside and additional benches and tables outside to sit and enjoy your goods. Sun Harvest Citrus did not disappoint! It was a nice pit stop.

Very touristy but love the free samples of orange juice. My personal favorite was the peach orange…read morejuice but they had a ton of different flavors. Parking wasn't bad and if you're looking for a souvenir from Florida then this is the place to go and you can definitely spot where you are by driving down the road and seeing a big metal orange. This place is full of souvenirs to potentially bring back: spices salt, and pepper, shakers, alligator jerky, Florida, popcorn, coconut candies,etc. I love that you can have samples of the juices before buying. They even had some salsa and chip samples. They are shown to have a coupon in the touristy maps and guides. One where you can use to actually get a discount on your ice cream. I ordered the dreamsicle which is the most popular, but I didn't have a chance to look at the sizes and after ordering realized that the lady, I just put me in for the regular size which was too much sugar for me. If it does, though she was kind of rushing me which I didn't love. Also, if you're wanting to use the coupon, you have to have your own copy and cut it out/rip it out. And it's also one per order. I also ordered the Keylime pie. I like the filling. It had a very much coconut flavor probably because they use more coconut milk, but their crust on it was not very good. The cream score was actually pretty good. It was a hot day so it melted pretty quickly, but I liked the orange thing that it had and balanced with the vanilla.

I came in on a mission...I wanted to cook a special dinner for a friend who absolutely loves Tadka Dal. I had a long list of authentic ingredients, many of which were completely unfamiliar to me coming from a very American cooking background. I was definitely wandering the aisles with that unmistakable "lost" look on my face. Before I could even ask for help, one of the store employees approached me with a big smile. His English was broken but his enthusiasm and confidence were crystal clear. He took one look at my list and immediately waved for me to follow him. From aisle to aisle, he moved with total authority and warmth, showing me exactly what I needed, explaining options, and helping me choose the right sizes and quantities. No upselling, no rushing...just genuine help. In a short amount of time, I had everything on my list and felt way more confident than when I walked in. The store itself is packed with variety but not overwhelming. Shelves were clean, no dust anywhere, which made it feel like products move and stay fresh. Prices were very fair, honestly better than what I found online, and portions were practical for home cooking. What really stood out was how welcomed I felt, especially when it was obvious I was out of my element. That kind of friendliness matters. If you're looking for authentic Indian groceries in the area, this place is fantastic. I'm genuinely excited to have found it and will absolutely be back.

For clarification this is Indian food only. They have the basics and lots of little thinks like…read moreincense
