The History of the Branford Farm Stand
Garrett Brothers Farms has been in continuous operation since 1992. The Garrett family moved to Branford from Homestead to start the commercial vegetable operation. Farming for four generations, Garrett Brothers Farms has a rich heritage in Florida agriculture. The Garrett family also as a long history of u-pick operations including four generations of successful u-picks; two strawberry u-picks in Homestead and a peach u-pick in Georgia in the 1950's. Currently farming 800 acres of commercial and organic bell peppers, squash and eggplant in Branford, the Garrett's expanded their acreage to the current Farm Stand location in 2019.
The vision for The Farm Stand originated through the abandoned farm house on 129 and nostalgia of previous u-pick family history. Read more about the history of our farm house here!
