Can I bring my dog?
No. Service animals are always welcome.

Do you offer gift certificates?
Yes. Gift certificates work for attractions and purchases across the farm.
Are there rules I should know about?
Follow the signs and the staff, particularly where something is roped off. Parts of the farm close for a reason: a crop coming in, or ground too wet to walk on.
Still have a question?
Call (888) 508-2414 or email info@anandafarm.com. We answer between Friday and Sunday first.
About the location
Ananda Farm is tucked away on Terra Ceia Island, a quiet Old Florida community just south of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge in Manatee County. Surrounded by mangroves, water, and open sky, the farm feels like a hidden oasis that’s still an easy drive from Tampa Bay, St. Petersburg, Bradenton, and Sarasota.
Terra Ceia sits between Tampa Bay and Bradenton, just off I‑275 and I‑75, making it simple to reach for day trips and spontaneous outings. The island’s quiet roads and natural scenery set the stage for a relaxed farm experience away from busy city streets.
