Angus beef share, for example, provides
10 pounds of a mixed variety of cuts

meats, as well as for milk and cheeses.
Vegetable and fruit shares offer a tasty,
nutrition-overflowing cornucopia that
includes pretty much everything.

locally caught fish, organic juices and
even handmade dog treats round out the

Crazy Hart Ranch — where meat chickens
and heritage turkeys peck happily at
the grass of Fellsmere — to Melbourne’s
Organic Rising Bakery, creators of artisan
breads, pastries and cookies.

“Fields to Forks has been a big part of
our family’s dinner table for over six
years,” Abby Riba from Viera said. “They
aren’t a business that only cares about
doing the minimum to get the organic
label, but focus on producing product
that is as nutritionally dense as each
vegetable, fruit and meat should be. As
long as we live here in Brevard, we will
be customers.”
Indialantic resident Mary Woodruff began
ordering from the farm when her family
moved here four years ago.
“The quality and variety of food they
offer is exactly what we were looking
for,” she said.
“The veggie share is our favorite. It is
always overflowing with fresh products.
We also order grass-fed meat and fresh
eggs, which are exceptional.”
In addition to healthy food, there are plenty of photo ops on Hall’s 20-acre farm.
hang out with the animals,” he said. “I
take a lot of pride in keeping the place in
tip top shape.”
During the holidays, the photo ops
abound with the pumpkins, plus the
resident farm equipment, and, of course,
the animals.
“Some families just like to come in for
photos,” said Hall. >>
