Irish Acres Farm

I would give zero stars if I could. I called the day before to place an order. I spoke to a male who took my order, he specifically told me to come at 11am on Saturday (9/12) to pick up. When I arrived, my order was not in the fridge. A couple walked in and said they were the farmers’ neighbors. They went and located the woman who is one of the farmers. She wasn’t outright rude, but she wasn’t warm either and she kept cutting me off. She told me the best days to pick up is Sunday and Wednesday. I explained that I was told to pick up today by who I believed was her husband. She said Saturdays aren’t good and she didn’t have any milk left. Mind you, she told me to come back tomorrow to pick up my order and on Google it says the farm is closed on Sundays. Very clear she did not want to sell to me. I am a Black person and a lot of farmers out here are racist; so I’m not surprised. There is another review on here about this same woman farmer possibly being racist. If you’re a person of color take your money elsewhere, they clearly don’t want ours.

Story time so buckle up. Two relevant pieces of history. 1. My daughter and I made homemade butter and bread when she was very young. It was such a fond memory that my wife and I recently decided to give it a go. I wanted to do it right so I looked for a local dairy where I could get the best cream. That led me to Irish Acres. 2. I love old school experiences. The only reason I would ever grow my hair back and get a haircut, yes I am bald by choice, would be if I could find a very old school barber shop where grumpy old men set around, play checkers, tell stories, and complain about their knees. It is amazing. I had a barber shop like this in Michigan. So far, it isn't worth having hair in Florida. I wanted a similar experience with a local dairy. I got my wish. On to Irish Acres. Two words. Call ahead! I didn't. My wife and I went on "Adventure Day" last Saturday afternoon. When we were getting close my wife kept saying, "This can't be right. We should turn around." I assured her I could see a building and we should keep going. When we pulled up I was blown away. It was beyond what I imagined. We thought it might be like an apple orchard where you have hay rides, petting zoos, etc. Call ahead!! There is none of that. There are chicken coops with amazing and unusual breeds. You will miss the store if you don't know where you are going and don't wander around enough. Nobody is there! Seriously, nobody. It is an honor system and you can buy anything that is not spoken for through a kiosk or cash. Call ahead!!!! Now please don't think I am complaining. I absolutely loved this. I thought it was amazing. But if you are not on adventure day you may be annoyed. So call ahead!!!! We bought two containers of heavy cream which was exactly why we drove forty miles. We were fortunate there were some left and that there was another customer to explain the process. Yesterday we made it into the most amazing butter I have ever had and put it on freshly made cinnamon raisin bread. I have never seen butter so yellow. We absolutely loved Irish Acres and will be going back....and calling ahead. If this is for you, you will not be disappointed. Thank you! Burt and Jenna.

Love this place. Went on a random Thursday afternoon and it was great.

I absolutely loved this place. It has a self-service setup and a great variety of dairy products. You can enjoy the beautiful outdoor surroundings it’s such a peaceful and charming environment. There are chickens, cows, birds, and even a lovely natural spring when you walk in. It’s truly a beautiful place that’s worth visiting, and the quality of the products is excellent. The muffins are delicious and very wholesome. I would definitely come back!

Our homeschool group’s visit to Irish Acres was nothing short of amazing! Farmer Mark and his wife Oksana run their farm with such dedication, and they welcomed us as if we were part of their family. Mark was wonderfully engaging and patient with the children, turning every moment into a fun and educational experience. The kids got to milk cows, watch butter being made, play with the animals, explore the garden, and even taste some of the farm’s delicious products. Every activity was hands-on, memorable, and filled with joy. From start to finish, it was truly a 10/10 experience. Irish Acres is such a special place, cared for by two very special people. We can’t wait to come back—not only for more of their incredible products but also to see Mark and Oksana again. Thank you for giving us such a wonderful morning on the farm!

Irish Acres Farm is not just an eco-farm — it’s a living reminder that real life still exists. Everything here is in harmony with nature: peaceful surroundings, cleanliness, well-cared-for animals, and kind, genuine people — Mark and Oksana, the farmers who have devoted their lives to work that is truly essential for all of us. Mark and Oksana are real heroes. In today’s urbanized world, many have forgotten where food really comes from, believing it somehow originates on supermarket shelves. But here, at Irish Acres Farm, you rediscover the essence of life — the taste of real, natural food, the quiet rhythm of honest work, and the beauty of simplicity. The farm is beautifully maintained. The area where cows are milked and the milk is processed is spotlessly clean — a true example of care and responsibility. The animals are healthy, calm, and clearly loved. Children will especially enjoy seeing the variety of animals and birds on the farm. Visiting Irish Acres feels like stepping into a fairy tale — a magical oasis nestled in the heart of the forest. It’s a place where technology is used wisely, not to replace nature, but to support and respect it. Highly recommended for families, eco-tourists, and anyone looking to reconnect with nature and themselves. Places like this deserve all our support.

Unlike the other reviewers we didn't come for the milk or the eggs, not that there's anything wearing with them... I'm sure there fine. We came to spend the night in their little air B&B cottage. This was the second time we've stayed here so that tells you pretty much what we think about the place. It's clean, quiet and the bed's comfortable. You can look at the photos two see what the interior's like. It's really, really nice and if we're in the area we'll see if we can stay here again.

First time at Irish Acres and was not disappointed, it's worth the drive. I contacted Mark via phone and he was very prompt when responding. Next day I came and picked some delicious yummy healing raw dairy goods. Me and Mark had a wonderful awakening conversation and got to meet one of the Whoofers at his farm Chi who was super friendly and gave me a tour of the vegetable garden. It's a beautiful farm, I didn't get to see the beautiful cows but next time for sure. It has beautiful pond recently finished by the owner, Vitex berry tree to die for 🥰 a nice garden filled with pest free Non GMO homegrown fresh vegetables and fruitsI tried the cute cherry tomatoes and they were devine the dairy was impeccably delicious I very much enjoyed the fresh milk and heavy Creme along raw kefir. Mark gave me a sample and free Mason jars to can my milk goods along first customer gift a full pint of homemade raw yogurt and I was so blown away by the quality of thier products and the cleanliness of thier dairy shop it was setup beautifully and well organized you can tell they're very passionate about quality food. I look forward to coming back and highly recommend visiting the farm and trying some raw healthy healing food. Mother nature is your gift. Thank you Mark, Chi and Irish Acres for your generous hospitality and excellent customer service. 😊
