The Hydro-Taste Hydroponic Farm (http://www.hydrotaste.com/) in Manatee County is a great place to get fresh produce. It offers a wide variety of excellent produce that is grown at its Manatee County farm or its farm near Lakeland.
Some of the produce, like strawberries and blueberries, is produce which you pick yourself. This is much easier to do at Hydro-Taste because of the way the plants are grown. You do not have to bend over.
The strawberries I've picked there are among the very best I've tasted, and are certainly far superior to supermarket strawberries, even those from Florida farms.
You can find a list of currently available produce at this page on their web site: http://www.hydrotaste.com/produce.html
The farm store also sells are variety of Amish noodles, preserves, etc.
The farm and its store are about 13 miles east of I-75 between state roads 64 and 70. Directions are available at: http://www.hydrotaste.com/farm_map.html
The farm gives tours. For small groups, no reservations are necessary. For larger groups, reservations are required.
