Food came out fast-. The only thing I didn't love was I felt the bowl of soup serving was really light. I had filled up on the homemade bread and could only eat about a third of the bowl. When we packed the rest to come home for dinner it wasn't even 3/4 full in the ~estimated~ 1 cup to go container. The soup bowl was very shallow. I think the serving could have been heartier. Reservations likely needed. We were there on a mid weekday and it was pretty packed. It was a drive for us but we will be back.

Our server was ok and in general the service was good, maybe can improve a little on the timing and explanations provided but more than anything it was a little hard to get the attention of our server sometimes. We went for brunch and there were good options and food was average... the highlights of the meal were: The Sourdough bread with honey butter and preserves and the outdoor bar with delicious cocktails and the best bartender (Jackson). The farm part is also fun but is very small only a few animals. It's cool you can buy drinks and walk with them while you enjoy the farm. It was a fun activity to do on our vacation but if we want to do it again we might try to go for lunch or another farm with similar option.

....18 September 2026 …read more.... My friend and I stopped by the Walker ( Honey ) Farm to purchase some honey for his return trip to Tallahassee. My friend is a former resident of Fort Myers and is familiar with the Walker Farm. This was my first visit. My friend made his purchase and , not knowing there are various flavors of honey until now , I decided to try some. I tried the Black Mangrove honey and the Orange Blossom honey. There are other flavors but I liked the Black Mangrove and purchased a small bottle for $27.50 There are larger bottles for $50.00. The Bees are on site and the honey is produced and sold there in a little rickety wooden frame house. The owner Buddy Walker , a cantankerous BUT pleasant young fellow , ( he's 82 ) greeted us as we entered the store. I admired the beautiful Palm Tree in front of the store and asked Buddy what was the name of that Palm Tree. He said he didn't know. As we were pulling out of the lot to leave, Buddy came running out to tell us that he checked and discovered the name of the Palm tree is Bismarck. Now that I know there are various flavors of honey I will return and maybe try another flavor. Can't wait to try this Black Mangrove in my Green Tea. See ya later Buddy

Recently purchased 1/2 cow from Pineshine, which is located in St. James City/Pine Island. Had been…read moresearching for local 100% grass fed/finished beef to fill our freezer and Pineshine is 1 of only a few that offer this quality. Most others are grain finished, which we did not want due to the health profile changes it can create, even if only fed grains for a few weeks. Ordering was fairly simple. Communication was a bit spotty (specifically our timeframe & cost), but I suspect it's because they do it all themselves - no marketing department to make things slick, which was fine w/us. We paid quite a bit per pound (more than I'd expected), but the meat is delicious and excellent quality. We've ordered 1/2 cow from other farms in the past, but this is probably the best tasting meat we've had from any ranch so that's impressive! So far we've cooked up ground beef, steaks, roasts, organ meat and made the most amazing beef bone broth from one of the soup bones. All items have been excellent quality, freshness and flavor. We chose to pick-up our meat from their farm. It was easy to schedule pick-up, everyone who helped us was friendly. If you don't have enough coolers to transport they will loan you a few to get home and then you bring them back. Here are the opportunities for improvement...Although the meat is the best we've had, the packaging is the worst we've had. I realize Pineshine isn't doing their own butchering, but the butcher they used is reducing the value of their product. The meats are all wrapped in white butcher paper and taped. Steaks are varying thickness. You can't tell how many steaks or bones are in each package until you open it since the wrapping is white. It's a mess when thawing as the paper gets soaking wet and the juices seep out. Sometimes the paper rips so you then have exposed meat. I prefer to avoid using plastic, but it's SO much nicer to have clear vacuum sealed meat in the freezer. I know exactly how many packages of steak to pull out when I can see them in the bag. If I'm running late on meal prep, I can submerge a vacuum sealed frozen package and have it thawed for dinner. I have a lot more confidence in the freshness several months in with vacuum sealed beef vs paper wrapped. Probably good we didn't know it would be paper wrapped, as we would have ordered elsewhere and missed the opportunity to eat their amazing beef. I also wish custom packaging were offered, which is what we've had with other cows (more roasts vs steaks, thickness of steaks, pounds per package, etc). We only use 1lb of ground beef at a time but all our beef was in 2lb packages and that's such a bummer and waste for us. It's difficult to cut frozen beef so I end up just thawing the whole thing and essentially losing the opportunity to use it later for a 2nd meal. Here you get standard cuts unless you buy the entire cow. Overall, I would highly recommend the beef from Pineshine Farms. It's fantastic! Would I re-order? If I could get customized butchering and vacuum sealed packaging then definitely! However, we would probably not reorder if they're still using the same butcher & paper packaging.

I've been fortunate enough to experience Dim Jandy Ranch both as a guest and from behind the scenes…read morewhile helping care for the ranch during the owners' time away. Because of that, I can honestly say this is one of the most extraordinary places I've ever visited. Most people come for the goat yoga, and they absolutely should. I've done it myself, and there aren't many things in life that will make you laugh harder than a happy little goat deciding your back is the perfect place to stand while you're on all fours. It's impossible not to smile. If yoga isn't your thing, don't miss the Goat & Highland Cow Snuggling experience. Spending time with sweet Highland calves Marsala and Risotto, along with the friendliest goats you'll ever meet, is something you'll remember long after you leave. But what makes Dim Jandy Ranch truly special isn't the activities. It's the people. After spending days here, you begin to notice the little things most visitors never see. A kitten with a broken leg isn't simply treated and forgotten. She's comforted, fussed over, and loved. A blind, epileptic dog who isn't interested in taking her medication isn't rushed or treated like an inconvenience. She gets all the patience, time, and encouragement she needs. Every animal here is treated like family because, to the people who built this ranch, they are family. You can see the results everywhere. The animals trust people. The donkeys greet you like old friends. The goats happily climb into your lap. Marsala comes walking over every morning just to say hello. Animals don't fake trust. They either feel safe or they don't, and every corner of this ranch reflects the love they've been shown. Some places are beautiful because of the scenery. Some are memorable because of the experiences they offer. Dim Jandy Ranch is unforgettable because of the kindness that lives here every single day. Whether you're visiting for goat yoga, cuddling Highland cows, meeting the donkeys, or simply looking for a joyful morning surrounded by animals, you'll leave with far more than a few great photos. You'll leave reminded that there are still wonderful people quietly making the world a better place. I recommend Dim Jandy Ranch without hesitation. It has become one of my favorite places in all of Southwest Florida, and every time I drive through the front gate, I leave feeling like my soul shines just a little brighter.

You get to bottle feed the goats, give them treats and pet them. The high cow roams around and you can pet and get pics while attempting to do yoga. If you want a pic with a goat on your back while doing yoga you can. Not tons of yoga happened, but lots of laughs, smiles and pets. Baby kittens are on the farm, can't forget about them. The donkeys will let you pet them if you come in and sit down with them. Silkie chickens in the back to see also. Inside the home there are some baked goods and honey for sale. An Airbnb on the back of property is available also. Super cute place. 10/10 all around.
