Uncle Donald's Farm

Our family has been going to Uncle Donald's Farm for years. My mom has taken school trips with her class. If you are expecting Disney, you will be disappointed. If you are expecting a farm where you can feed chickens, go on a hay ride, milk a goat and have a picnic lunch, this is the place! more

If I could give it a negative star I would. They are gruffy just like the earlier review mentioned. They hate their job and are horribly rude. I will never return and I will warn others to stay away!!!!!!! more

On June 25, 2014, we took our grandchildren, ages 8 and 9, to Uncle Donald's Farm. The highlights were the hayride to feed the cows, the milking of the goat, and the bottle feeding of the baby goat. However, the experience with purchasing the tickets put a damper on it as far as I was concerned! We were first to arrive right at opening time, 10:00 a.m., and followed the sign to a building for purchasing tickets. No staff was around on the grounds that we could see and the door was closed, so I knocked out of courtesy. A female voice answered very gruffly that the door was open. I went in thinking she would greet me cordially, but instead she looked right at me and did not smile. I told her I wasn't sure she was open yet, and she again gruffly said something like "the door wouldn't be unlocked if we weren't open." I seriously considered turning around and leaving without purchasing tickets, but didn't want to disappoint our grandchildren. Never at anytime during the transaction did she smile or make me feel like my business was appreciated. more

This is a private 40 acre organic farm outside Orlando. Every summer they open the fields up to the public to come at pick their own fruits and vegetables. They grow pretty much everything that can survive in the Florida heat. There are also eggs for sale that have been laid that morning. They offer field trips, host birthday parties and a pumpkin patch in the fall. more

If your in Lake, Marion, or Sumpter counties there is a great petting farm available. There is a great variety of rabbits, birds, farm animals available. There is a fun hayride where you can feed the llamas and bulls as they run along side the hay ride. The staff is wonderful about teaching about the animals. They have the guests assist with milking if they want and you can feed a baby goat as it runs from person to person. There are hand wash stations available so sanitation is not a concern. more
