  • mm hmm.

  • Yeah, today I'm wanna phat beet farm and it's a fairly new place in Tampa.

  • I didn't even really know about this until one of my friends found it online and uh we're gonna meet for lunch and she was looking for a farm to table restaurants in the Tampa Bay Area and she came across this awesome looking place called phat Beet Farm.

  • It's literally Farm to table.

  • They have a fully sustainable farm and they go from farm to table and then back to farm.

  • So it's like a full circle.

  • So it's about a 30 minute drive from downtown Tampa.

  • It's located in the Oldsmar area.

  • It's actually owned by the same owners as bone fish grill and noble crust which are two very popular restaurants in the Tampa Bay area.

  • Bonefish Girl, I think, you know, I heard a lot more people going to before um but noble crust is the new trendy restaurant that I hear a lot of people go to.

  • I actually haven't been there yet.

  • Um they haven't, there have been several attempts, I wanted to go, but just haven't made it yet.

  • But I have heard rave reviews about that place.

  • So at first when they started this restaurant, they wanted to be like all their other restaurants except where they were going to start a garden in the back to provide some food, but they came to this grand idea of making it a fully sustainable farm and they have, you know, they grow lettuce there um they actually collect water and these gigantic tanks from the rainfall and so they do a lot of other things like have solar panels to save energy and they have a farm tours to show you all of this and I wanted to go to one but the one that they have this month in october it's all sold out and they didn't have any future dates.

  • So I don't know when the next one is going to be, but I would really like to go and learn all of this because it sounds really interesting and someday I would like to have a little farm or a ranch.

  • They also have volunteer opportunities and internships.

  • I was actually really interested in the volunteering because you get to learn how to be sustainable and grow your own farm.

  • So I will look into that a little bit more.

  • If it's on a weekend I would probably, I would probably do it.

  • I just want to look into a little bit more and see what's all involved.

  • They also have yoga on Sundays, they have yoga at nine a.m. And then they have later on in the morning they have boozy yoga but today we're going to check out the restaurant and again it's true farm to table, so we're gonna be eating the food that they grow all the salads, the microgreens.

  • Um They also seem to have some excellent desserts.

  • So I'm really looking forward to trying that really, here we are arrived.

  • That looks good and this is the pumpkin eclair.

  • So you've got something.

  • Everything that some light is right in my face right now.

  • Sorry but I just left phat farm and what an awesome place.

  • The food is really amazing there.

  • It's so good.

  • We got sandwiches and I got the turkey sandwich and everything really does taste fresh because they make everything on their own.

  • So it's handmade and they make with their bread, which you could taste it.

  • Like it was so good and the turkey was nice and fresh.

  • Of course all their micro greens and vegetables are fresh as well.

  • So yeah, it was so amazing And their desserts and baked goods between the three of us, we got a whole bunch of all me myself, I got to moments and a cookie because any, any new place, I just like to try everything as much as I can.

  • I won't eat it all but I'll just pick at, you know, one little thing or a piece of everything and wow their most popular item is there black banana bread and I can understand why because it's amazing.

  • It's like, it's like you're eating chocolate, banana bread very moist, but it's not too sweet.

  • Which um, and my friend paulina really like because a lot of the suites that we have in the States, a lot of american deserves a super duper sweet.

  • Not this one, this one was just right.

  • We also got some cookies.

  • Both of their cookies are really good.

  • It's the perfect combination of going up gooey on the inside and crunchy on the outside.

  • Really big sizes too for like a couple of bucks, which is a good price and the banana muffin.

  • The black banana muffin was just top notch is by far one of my favorite desserts or banana bread I've ever had in my life.

  • Who knew that you can make a such thing as black banana bread.

  • But yeah, it's one of their signature dishes and whether popular items and it is fantastic.

  • You definitely have to try that and you go there, they do have other foods that you could take home with you that's in the fridge, that's all chilled and cauliflower dishes.

  • They have sesame chicken, lots of different salads.

  • They also had their own salad dressing that they made and sliced bread and they had some merchandise that they sold their goods like hats and shirts, but has their name on it.

  • And then I asked about the tour and they haven't put out dates yet for the following months.

  • Um, because as I mentioned before this month, their farm tour is sold out.

  • So they said they're gonna get together this week to discuss what other days they can put in to add additional tour dates.

  • So I'm gonna be looking forward to that.

  • Um, I'm not sure if I can go this year because I'm leaving in about a month to go to California to stay with candy for a couple months, but hopefully I can make it to one of them before I leave this year.

  • If not, then I will come back next year and um, do you have video on that?

  • I love the whole vibe there.

  • The employees there are super friendly and helpful and um I believe it's the daughter that I was talking to that gave me more info about the tour, but she's, you know, you can just tell that she's really passionate about the place and she even thanked me for having entrance with the farm tours and that was super sweet, I love that, I love that.

  • You know, you could feel that passion for what they're doing and they are doing a fantastic job.

  • The whole place is very clean, it's very huge, like the statue, their farm area a little bit and it looks *** and span clean of a huge space.

  • I got to see a little bit of their solar panel station and yeah, I mean, I'm very impressed with this place in Tampa who knew existed and I'm glad they made something like this and I hope that, you know, we'll have more places like this in the future in the Tampa Bay Area because I like this concept, I like this concept of you know, being fully sustainable like that and they're passionate about teaching others how to do it too.

  • So yeah, looking forward to another visit to this place.
