Raprager Farms is a family-run agritourism destination on Boy Scout Road in Odessa, just west of Land O' Lakes and about 25 minutes from Clearwater. What began in February 2020 as a former citrus grove — the property previously operated as Cee-Bee Citrus until citrus greening disease forced its closure — has grown into a full day-trip destination for Tampa Bay families, combining a working regenerative farm with a petting zoo, restaurant, artisan marketplace, and a year-round calendar of seasonal festivals.
Founders Justin and Amanda Raprager left corporate careers to build something their family could run and grow together, and that family-first spirit still shapes the farm today. A free-roaming petting zoo with chickens, tortoises, goats, and sheep sits alongside hayrides, a giant bounce pillow, a corn pit, a barn slide, a maze, and field games, all included with general admission. Guests looking for more can add on experiences like zip lining, a mechanical bull, axe throwing, pony rides, gem mining, and Build-A-Buddy, or book hands-on classes in cooking, beekeeping, candle making, yoga, and nutrition.
The farm leans into a farm-to-table identity with a full-service restaurant, café, coffee shop, sweet shop, and bar on-site, alongside Farmville — a cottage-style marketplace of local artisan vendors — and a working farmers market. Behind the scenes, Raprager Farms is run on regenerative principles, using cover crops and rotational grazing to rebuild soil health as part of the family's broader commitment to leaving the land, and the animals on it, better than they found it.
The calendar runs year-round with signature seasonal festivals — including a fall pumpkin festival, a Christmas festival, and an Easter celebration — each with its own themed decorations, hayride routes, and activities, in addition to hosting birthday parties, corporate outings, weddings, school field trips, and camps. A glamping option is also in the works for guests who want to extend their visit overnight.
With a 4.1-star rating across more than 1,500 Google reviews, Raprager Farms has become one of the most-visited agritourism stops in the greater Tampa Bay area, drawing families from Land O' Lakes, Lutz, Wesley Chapel, and beyond. One-day adult admission runs $19 plus tax, with pricing that can vary by festival, so checking ahead — by phone, email, or on the farm's website — is the best way to plan a visit and confirm current rates, especially during peak festival weekends.
