A Simpler Place Farm & Market

Been a customer for almost 10 years through their many incarnations. Renee makes the best home baked Sourdough bread. Their offerings are seasonal and always amazing. Love supporting locally grown and sourced produce and pantry items. Service is top notch and Renee responds to any queries very quickly.

Great selection of organic produce including from local farms. Produce is well labeled. They also have local honey and a demo farm, chickens, and apiary (bee hives) on site you can visit. Foundation Coffee up the road a short stretch. What more could you ask for?They also have terrific events for kids (art or farm tours) and families (yoga). So follow them on Facebook and our Instagram. They are out east of Tampa so if you live out that way or are out that way def stop in. You won't regret it. Feel good wholesome food that supports out local economy. And the prices are quite fair. Also Gulf Coast Sourdough and some other treats. Very kid friendly. Wholesome. If you're in South Tampa, South Tampa Farm is also cool and Sweetwater Farm is great in Town and Country, but this spot may be even better, especially for out east toward Brandon and Riverview. Good clean healthy fun. Fresh tumeric. Ginger. Other spices. Swiss chard. Keep in mind the local produce especially is seasonal. Fall and spring especially lots on offer. Beans. Pole beans. Okra. Maters. Beautiful and farm fresh grown. One of my fav places in the area. Makes me smile

We had a fun time taking the guided tour around the farm. The owners taught us so much about the behaviors and communications of bees, everything we need to know about chickens and chicken farming, vegetable farming, etc. We were able to get up close and personal with one of the honeycombs produced in the beekeeping area hive (with few gentle bees still on it). We each got a taste of its delicious honey. After the tour, we were able to walk around the shop to purchase produce and/or merchandise if we chose to. There were many local seasonal produce and honey for sale here. They also had a few items from other local farms for sale.We learned from them that they arrange many classes throughout the year such as beekeeping 101, arts and crafts, etc. which sounded interesting. Not really sure what to expect when we got here at first, we realized afterwards it was worth it.

Saturday I went to the Beekeeping 101 with a couple friends. WOW! I was immediately impressed with the beautiful, mature landscaping, charming market, and the good vibes. Then I met Paul, who was so kind, friendly, and passionate about bees. He even teaches this at the college! We learned sooo much about bees, in such a fun way that I think the title Beekeeping 101 is a little limiting. You don't need to be interested in beekeeping to enjoy this experience. I had no intention of beekeeping when I signed up (based on a friend's enthusiastic recommendation), but maybe someday when I have a ranch.... AND I'm going back so I can take my Mom even though this was a 1 hr. 20 min. ride from my house one way! OH and the honey is one of the best I've ever tasted!! #HighlyRecommended

This place is awesome. They have local produce, and local honey...its like going back in time to where things were community based. They also make food for the local coffee shop, Foundation Coffee, which seems like the hippest place in town. A must visit for locals and tourists alike.

For a small area, there sure is a decent amount of variety here. Of course, there's a lot of locally grown produce, but there's also honey, meats, eggs, baked goods, blade sharpening, and handmade crafted items such as jewelry, soaps, and candles. Being in the same parking lot as the coffee place just makes it more fun. Come early, though... Finding parking can be an adventure. Support your local farmers and craftsmen!

OK, but be advised they do not actually limit the number to their baking class that they say they do. I even called and was told a maximum of 8 people. This turned into a class of 12 with not enough room for everyone. The teacher did nothing about the 4 extra people ( who i doubt paid for the class). The actual biscuit class was OK but it would have been much better with the maximum of 8 people who actually paid to do the class. It's OK but amateurish so be aware you may be paying a premium for just OK.
