Sunday Funday stands as a cherished and essential tradition at TnF Farms. Providing a vital respite from the demanding and occasionally physically taxing work involved in cultivating the land and tending to our livestock. This weekly celebration becomes a golden opportunity to temporarily step away from the rigors of farm labor. Offering a chance to unwind, rejuvenate, and take in enjoyable activities both on and off the farm.
Sunday Funday always starts with a leisurely breakfast straight from our farm. American Guinea Hog bacon or breakfast sausage with free-range, non-GMO, farm-fresh eggs. As the sun rises, the range of activities varies, from exploring nearby state parks. Also picnicking by serene riverbanks to embarking on invigorating hikes or mountain bike rides through the scenic trails that surround our farmstead.
Sunday Funday isn’t confined to the farm alone. It also includes gatherings with friends, family, and neighbors. Barbecues, bonfires, and friendly board games create an atmosphere of laughter and camaraderie, fostering a sense of community that enriches the farm experience.
Beyond the joy and relaxation it brings, Sunday Funday is a symbolic day that underscores the importance of savoring the simple pleasures embedded within the rhythms of rural life. It stands as a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of those who diligently work the land, taking a well-deserved break to embrace the collective joy found in community, the beauty of nature, and the shared experience of farm life. It serves as a reminder that, amid the toil, there is also time for connection, reflection, and appreciation for the intrinsic rewards of a life rooted in the land.
Fort Clinch State Park is a Florida state park located on Amelia Island, in the northeastern part of the state. The park is known for its well-preserved 19th-century fort, Fort Clinch, and its beautiful natural surroundings. It’s a journey from TnF Farms but with great investment, comes great reward.
I used to be an avid runner. Before moving to rural Florida, I was running about 10 miles a week in the Jacksonville suburbs. Now that we’re settled in on a farm in the backwoods, running isn’t quite as easy especially when the neighbors’ dogs don’t like me trotting by. Yeah, I’m staying busy at the TnF Farm but its not the same kind of cardio.
