2012 is going to be a quiet year.

We are using this year to recover from several medical issues that have plagued us for the past year or more. We are sorry that we will not be a part of the 2012 Key Peninsula Farm Tour. Visitors are always welcome though. Just give us a call or drop us an email to arrange a time. Thanks to everyone for all their support these years. We hope to be back participating in the farm tour in 2013.

Looking to Key Peninsula Farm Tour 2011

Mark your calendar on October 1, 2011 to come to the Key Peninsula to participate in the Key Peninsula Farm Tour.  We are planning now hoping that we can make 2011 even better than 2010.  We hope to see you here.
