My 2 year old loved it and recently saw some pics of the experience and told me she wants to go again. I also enjoyed it a lot as I got to pick up some chickens and pet them. Fed a cow, chickens and goats. Saw bunnies, chicks, turkeys and pigs. While the experience was about an hour for us, they do let you know that it might be a bit more or less depending on engagement with the animals. Visit requires a donation, but they don't ask for a specific amount. You have to contact them via facebook and schedule the visit. It was pretty easy for us to schedule it. Owner is very responsive and was so awesome with my little girl when we visited. Definitely want to visit again!

The instructor was funny and let us get in positions so the goats would stand on our backs. I miss Chai, that was my fav little baby goat. The best part, they gave us an in-depth tour of the farms after and we got to see other cute animals. If you're looking for a unique activity to do in Orlando, def book with them!!

I really loved this place and walking around the path seeing bright colored zinnias and sunflowers…read more At first I was like, oh these are not the 10 foot gigantic sunflowers that I have seen elsewhere. But after walking through, I thought it was nice just feeling like you are in a field of wildflowers just being super carefree. There were a few vendors, and they sold snacks like kettle corn, drinks, etc. They had games like badminton, the bean bags, rubber ducky water races, and swings. They also have a hay ride. There was sun and shade. We brought out umbrellas for added shade through the flower fields. This was a super fun experience! I'll be back in the fall for their corn maze! I can't wait! Check this out! They will do it next weekend for one last time. It doesn't say it on the website, but for sure they are doing it!

Looking for family fun especially for the kids on the northern part of the Treasure Coast? Do you…read morealso want that family fun to technically be free as there is no admission fee? Well look no further than LaPorte Farms. Located in the Roseland area of the Treasure Coast which meets up with the southern most point of the Space Coast, LaPorte Farms (which I will shorthand to LaPorte) is an open farm consisting of a wide array of animals to see and activities to do. Designed in which everything can be seen or experience in one or two hours tops sans any major events, LaPorte is both entertaining and educational, especially for children. Starting with the animals, there are plenty of pens and large birdcage enclosures featuring many kinds of animals of both domestic farm life and... well... more "exotic" farm life. They have horses, chickens, and pigs, but also have llamas, turtles, bearded lizard, and lemurs. To add to the fun, they have named some of their animals as seen on their "Critters" Tab on their official website. Next, the activities are catered towards children and overall family experience. On site, there is a little library where you can "leave a book, take a book." This is definitely an excellent way to prepare for the Reading Challenge LaPorte hosts. Plenty of photo opportunities to be made which includes photography props including a face-cutout picture board and a "jailhouse." There is a section for little kids to ride spring rocking horses, which is a toy I haven't seen in ages. Finally off the top of my head, there are also pony rides and train rides for $5.00 per kid to partake in. Outside of the basic on site activities, LaPorte hosts many events including fishing tournaments and summer camps. They are often active in their community via their non-profit, Friends of LaPorte Farms. As a matter of fact, as of the publication of this review, LaPorte recently won the business of the month given to them by the Palm Bay Chamber of Commerce. Finally, the main house, sells food, drink, and gifts. Guests can buy packets of food to feed the critters on the farm (no outside food please), packages of eggs laid from their hens, and even honey and soap from other local businesses LaPorte are friends with. The two unique "events" the main house has is the Reading Challenge in which families can sign up their kids to partake in, and the "Pray for the Troops" box filled with toy soldiers. Overall, LaPorte is a very fun place to visit with the family. I expect such a place would be interesting to see during certain holidays such as 4th of July and Christmas. Gives reason to return for guests. For now, giving LaPorte four out of five stars. Everything is excellent, but the fifth star shall be earned if LaPorte is consistent. P.S. - LaPorte Farms is one of the locations to visit in the Treasure Coast Kids Quest for Indian River County. Families can go to the official website and/or obtain a passport from the main house at LaPorte or the Vero Beach Chamber of Commerce. At each location, passholders have to complete a task or mission. At LaPorte, you need to take a picture with Baby Girl the zebra.

From homemade soap, lip baum and lotions to goat milk and fresh eggs, they are sure to become a fast favorite. "Tropical Monkey Farts," "Rugged," and "Hey Dude" - they are among the soap favorites at home. As for lip baum, it's Juicy Mango and Vanilla. Carlsward Farms has a number of different varieties to chose from. They are also "holiday" specific depending on the time of year. My youngest daughter and I recently visited Carlsward Farms itself and she wanted to adopt one of the Nigerian dwarf goats. I'm like, "no, Rebecca - we aren't adopting any goats." As for the farm, the Brown family homestead has been around for decades. From dairy goats, chickens and other farm animals - to freshly grown vegetables - it's a cool place to visit. Five stars to Carlsward Farms in Vero Beach. A small family business that deserves some attention. William E. Lewis Jr. Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

I have suffered from osteoarthritis for several years, have bulging discs and spend most days in pain. I have taken opioids for pain but I don't want to take pills the rest of my life, I use sea extracts to relieve pain, which are expensive and sleep with a heating pad every night because the pain is severe; I refer to it as "screaming" I purchased the CBD lotion bar today and late in the afternoon my pain was severe so I rubbed the stick on my neck, within 45 seconds the pain was gone; I couldn't believe it, it lasted for hours. I am going to bed without my heating pad. I Can't remember the last time that happened. To be in constant pain every day and then to suddenly be pain free is something I'm still trying to believe. If you have pain of any kind you have to try this. I can't believe how fast and how well it works. Pain free without heat or medication, it's miraculous.

The alpacas are incredibly cute and friendly, and a lot of the time is spent interacting with them, taking photos, and just enjoying being around the animals. We had a great time hanging out with the alpacas and loved how laid-back and welcoming the atmosphere was. Even if you're not into yoga or have never done it before, don't let that intimidate you. The yoga portion is very beginner friendly and definitely takes a backseat to the alpacas themselves. It's really more about enjoying the experience, laughing, and spending time with these adorable animals than getting in a serious workout. Great experience that I'd love to do again.

We were introduced to some of the alpacas while waiting for the rest of the guests arrived. We were led into the pen area where a few tables were set up and the canvas was pre sketched with the outline of the alpacas body. We then were asked to go up and pick out our paint colors to get added to our plates. The instructor was great. She was so sweet and walked everyone through the painting step by step. She was so artistic and really helped everyone bring their piece to life. The alpacas are adorable. They were fun to feed and watch play with eachother. Just have to be careful they don't snatch your plate with paint on it away (which did happen to someone). But the staff was quick to come in, bring new paint, and help fix the art piece. I removed 1 star from the owner King's unkind words and storytelling. We sat in our painting class and divulged very unbecoming details about him and his wife's marriage. He proceeded to refer to her as an "old hag" many times. He shared too much personal information and it was extremely uncomfortable to sit and listen to.
