Arden Launches New Monthly Farm Tour Series

Flowers grown at the farm contribute to an aesthetically pleasing atmosphere.

The Arden community, located off Southern Blvd. west of Lion Country Safari Road, launched a new farm tour series last weekend. Future farm tours will be held the second Saturday of each month from 10 a.m. to noon. Upcoming dates are Aug. 10, Sept. 14 and Oct. 12. Visitors can expect to find organic goods, homemade jewelry, beauty products and more available for purchase, as well as leisurely courtyards designed for community events. Residents of Arden, meanwhile, are invited to come and collect their “farm share” each month, reaping the benefits of the crops produced both at the five-acre community farm and from other nearby farms.
