Old McMicky’s Farm is described as an educational farm and day camp teaching about farm animals and farm life, with a hands-on educational experience that is not a petting zoo. Unique features include 20 acres of Old Florida landscape wrapping around a 40-acre lake, beautiful lake-front grounds, oak tree-shaded picnic areas with views of Crescent Lake, and newly remodeled wedding venues, including a reception area with many windows overlooking the lake and an option for a s’mores campfire at the end of a wedding event as described in a testimonial.
Old McMicky’s Farm has a mission to give back to the community through the “1000 Kids” program for children facing challenges, child adoption support events, free military weddings, and community programs run by the OMF Foundation. Its community giving programs create an amazing day of fun-filled memories for children and wounded veterans facing challenges and have received local, national, and congressional recognition, including a Certificate of Special Congressional Recognition and Congressional Coin for “Outstanding and Invaluable Service to the Community,” being voted BrightHouse Networks/Bay News 9 2015 Viewer’s Choice Hero of the Year, being named an “Angels in Adoption” National Honoree from the Congressional Committee on Adoption, and receiving a Special Commendation for Community Giving from the Hillsborough County Board of Commissioners.
Old McMicky’s Farm was voted “BEST FARM” in Tampa Bay by Creative Loafing in 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 Best of the Bay. Its “Mission I Do” Free Military Dream Wedding was featured in People Magazine, and Good Morning America selected Old McMicky’s Farm / Barn at Crescent Lake to shoot live for their national morning show. Parents and visitors in testimonials describe the staff as super friendly and hilarious, mention that tours keep families and parties separate, and note that the location is beautiful, very clean, and described as beautiful and safe for birthday parties for young children. Testimonials also describe the farm as great for kids, very educational, and a beautiful place for weddings and events.
