The settlement also hosts living history and folk music festivals celebrating the late 19th and early 20th centuries throughout the year.

“What a great place to over-night. I timed my stay to coincide with their Old Florida days. There were many demos of long ago... Blacksmithing, woodcarving, fiber spinning, weaving, etc., along with live folk music and storytelling. The jailbreak shootout was great! The area for overnighting was completely shaded by live oaks and very quiet.”

The food and drinks were wonderful. It was way too hot to walk the property this visit but it is a great thing to do when you visit. We will be back. Thanks for hosting!”

“We had an incredibly wonderful stay at Encanto Farm. Communication was very up-to-date and we found the place easily. Kati welcomed us warmly, as did all of the animals. Parking was easy. Ducks greeted us and wandered around outside our camper frequently, as we were parked next to the pond. The donkeys were affectionate when we gave them treats, the goats were very energetic! Kati’s tropical plants were beautiful and I bought a Hoya to grow in our Airstream…we will return!”
