Trade your usual weekend routine for an afternoon of outdoor play, seasonal flowers, and food at Ananda Farm. Our farm sits on Terra Ceia Island in Manatee County, north of Port Charlotte.
Bring the kids for the attractions, meet friends for a meal, or plan your visit around a seasonal event. Allow about three hours at the farm so you have time to explore and take a break between activities.
