We got 1/8 of a cow and couldn't be happier with the quality and flavor of this beef. It's wrapped, labeled and dated ready to go in your freezer. Our pork was ready 2 weeks later and we again are extremely pleased with both quality and flavor. I'm telling everyone I know because this price can't be beat for such quality meat to cook and serve.

This isn't just a beach ride--it's a beautiful, ethical experience with rescue horses who truly…read morelove what they do. We had an absolutely incredible experience with C Ponies, and I can't recommend them enough--especially if you're looking for something unique, meaningful, and truly unforgettable. What makes this experience so special goes far beyond just "riding horses on the beach." These are rescue horses--many of them coming from difficult or neglectful situations--and C Ponies has created something really beautiful by giving them a second chance at life. You can feel how deeply loved and well cared for these horses are. They are healthy, happy, and genuinely seem to enjoy their work. One of the most fascinating parts was learning that the water is actually healing for them. Being in the ocean supports their joints and overall wellness, so this experience isn't just fun for us--it's beneficial for them, too. That alignment made the entire experience feel even more special and ethical. Our guide, Raina, was fantastic. She had the perfect mix of humor (yes, some delightfully corny jokes), warmth, and knowledge. More importantly, you could tell she truly loves these horses and what she does. She made everyone feel comfortable, safe, and engaged the entire time. Walking the horses into the water--and even getting to experience them swimming--was surreal. Each horse had its own personality, which made it even more fun. You could tell they were relaxed, confident, and happy to be there. It didn't feel forced or transactional--it felt like a partnership between humans and animals. Living in Sarasota, it also meant a lot to support a business that is doing such meaningful work in our own SW Florida community. C Ponies is not only creating unforgettable experiences, but they are actively rescuing, rehabilitating, and giving these horses a life filled with purpose and care. If you're on the fence--book it. It's one of those rare experiences that stays with you long after it's over.

The voicemail box was full so we couldn't leave a message and no one returned our email. This is the worst experience I have ever had with an business.

Come for the Amish Baking Company, stay because everything else looks delicious…read more This is definitely a small farmer's market. Since I live in Clearwater, my idea of a farmer's market is the St. Petersburg Farmer's Market, which for those of you who have been, know it is huge. This isn't even the size of one row of that market. However, it has your essentials. You can get baked goods, not just my beloved Amish Baking Company, but croissants, breads, cinnamon rolls, etc. You can get fruits and vegetables. You can get some readymade food. I think this is an example of the phrase it may be small, but it is mighty! Parking is very easy and free. We came on a cold morning, so most people were just getting in and out. They do have a couple tables and chairs, so if you want to sit and enjoy your food warm, you can.

A lot of incredible vendors, hard working people, friendly people, passionate people, great connections and great memories. The key is to get there early for parking is limited. I love the fresh pita bread and hummus options from Friends LLC. The Pickle Patch has some of the best pickled carrots, pickled okra, dill pickles. Swanson Soapworks has some of the best body scrubs, solid shampoo and soaps. Come Under the Yum Tree has some of the best produce. I bought some incredible oranges, lemons, limes, plums, cucumbers. They have samples of certain fruits of melons and citrus fruits.

The vendors fill the two side of the street with L shaped streets. The visit may take 40 minutes to complete. Either the stuff is local make and create.

It runs from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. & serves as a community hub with live music, offering everything from fresh fruits and baked goods to handmade crafts and international foods, while supporting local farms & businesses. I left with bags of beautiful tomatoes, Romaine, bananas, zucchini... the artisan, breads, and pastries were as beautiful as the flowers. Happily the farmers market discounts foods 50% with EBT card . We passed lots of beautiful dogs.

The market opens early and is probably at its busiest at around 9 am or a little after. There is a wide diversity of stores from those selling fruits and vegetables to those selling flowers, bread, honey, and even local farmed salt from long boat key. There are also numerous food and coffee stalls and generally a really good atmosphere. Prices are a bit higher than what you would pay at somewhere like Whole Foods, but almost everything is organic or locally sourced and you can find some unique items. I love Wardens vegetable market the most as they always have good local organic produce. Also autumn and winter are probably the best time to visit the market.

She took us to three super cute locations: Patrick's 1481, Bevardi's Salute, and Brick's, and we finished with a gelato spot! All the staff at each location were really sweet, except for the hostess at the first place. But overall, the experience was still so good. We had drinks at all three spots, but my favorite was definitely the watermelon lemonade at Brick's. It even comes with a watermelon garnish At first they were out, but our sweet server Gerald made it happen for me, and I really appreciated that. After that, Susan went out of her way to show us a speakeasy around the corner from the gelato place. It wasn't even included in the tour, she just did it to be nice because she could tell my boyfriend used to be a really great bartender, which made it feel extra special. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would 100% come again!

The shop is located in a shopping mall so there is plenty of parking. The shop is made for lunch. It is small and there is seating inside and out its not meant for a very large party. On a positive note, they have a multitude of seafood sandwiches and lunch options to enjoy a nice meal. I saw photos of lobster rolls on yelp, so I got the lobster roll. It was so good. Packed with lobster and the bread was delicious. My son and husband got the red snapper sandwich blackened with fries. We were also able to try their clam chowder (delicious) as well as their key lime pie (i am unsure if it's made there but it was very good). The cashier was sweet. The staff made sure that we were happy with the food and for a small cafe I can't ask for anything else. Great lunch spot especially if you want a feel for the keys or some delicious seafood.

Next time I come back, I will not be getting the tuna, but definitely the lobster roll. I should of known better, based on the name of the restaurant, but I decided against my better judgement.
