Lakewood Ranch is growing. Everyday more homes, more families, more wonderful places and spaces sprout from the lively soil. But it’s not just people that are sprouting up here in the Ranch, our region is blessed with a wealth of small and boutique farms, run by passionate and iconoclastic farmers. Floridians may love Publix, and at the Ranch we love our Fresh Market as well, but if you want to visit the men and women who bring green, leafy life out of the soil then it’s just a hop and a skip away to the North, East and South. This edition is dedicated to enjoying the fresh air and outside pleasures that will bring you back in touch with the nature that so richly surrounds the Ranch. We’ll be seeing you, outside!
