I was going there to get some fruit and the worker moved my basket while I was putting fruit in it and i couldn't reach it to put the fruit in my inside the basket.

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.

Save your money and avoid this place. This was one of the worst dining experiences we've ever had!…read more The restaurant was filthy. Flies were everywhere, and once our food arrived, they kept landing all over our meals. It was disgusting and completely unsanitary. The service was painfully slow and disorganized, yet we were automatically charged a $48 service fee for service that was practically nonexistent. The food was terrible. The dishes lacked flavor, and the fruit was just as disappointing. Some of the pre-picked fruit we bought were rotten inside, while others were bland and tasteless. The fruit-picking area was much smaller than advertised, and many of the fruits weren't even ripe enough to pick. To top it off, the bathrooms were falling apart and poorly maintained. Between the filthy conditions, horrible food, poor service, and outrageous mandatory service charge, this place was a complete waste of time and money. I would never return and would strongly warn others not to make the same mistake we did.

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.

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!

I have to say I was quite surprised that 99% of the vendors were not organic. But, luckily while browsing, we came across Michael from Pine Island Botanicals and his vendor tent. Michael is the classic laid back island guy. He quickly introduced us to all of his amazing lettuces. Actually I feel bad calling them lettuce because that makes most people think of a head of iceberg lettuce. YUCK. When I refer to lettuce in regards to PIB, I mean the real green stuff - so many varieties you can't even imagine, and in every flavor you have never thought of. He has spicy mustards and Asian greens mixed and probably twenty or so other that I can't recall the names. He mixes it all up in a mix that you can take home and make the most amazing salads ever. I mix Trader Joes Champagne Muskat vinegar with organic olive oil and drizzle it on and ... heaven. The salad we had our first night was so delicious that I woke up the next morning and had it for breakfast. Yea, it's that good. Anyway, we loved it so much that we went to the actual farm on Pine Island the next week. Michael was nice enough to give us a tour of his completely organic and hydroponic farm. I won't ramble on- just know that if you want real food- not sprayed with the crap Monsanto wants us all to be sickened by- try some of this. You will love it.
