South Florida might be known for its sand and surf, but it’s also home to lots of family-owned farms—where did you think those farm-fresh veggies came from?
We picked a few of our favorites around town (some further away, but well worth the trip) to support your local farmer, with activities like farm-to-table dinners, strawberry picking, pumpkin patches, and sunflower fields.
An added bonus, a trip to the farm also makes for great photos!
Bedner’s Farm Fresh Market
From families with small children to outings with friends, Bedner’s has been a part of the community for decades. The Bedner family moved to South Florida from Pennsylvania in the ’50s, then established the farm in 1960. It’s still a family-run operation, with animals, tram rides, seasonal fruit and vegetable picking (most popular, strawberries!), a photo-worthy sunflower field, and in the fall, a pumpkin patch. 10066 Lee Road, Boynton Beach; 561/733-5490; bedners.com

Sons & Daughters Farm and Winery
Previously a nursery, the area was destroyed by hurricanes in 2005. But it got a second life as Sons & Daughters Farm in 2013, serving up wines that you’ll only find in South Florida. The farm is most known for its hibiscus wine, but order a flight to try the seasonal offerings. If you’re not into trying something alcoholic, there’s also farm-made kombucha. 5926 Fearnley Road, Lake Worth; 561/213-7808; sd-farm.com
