Take the tour!!! They have so many interesting ways to live off the land. Neem trees, worm farms, moringa trees and much more. They have a plant nursery where you can buy all sorts of useful plants. I have a Moringa tree at home. Lots of great information. If you visit fort myers and want something amazing go here. ##reviewsbyelijah

Now. This place is very relaxing and beautiful! They have a lot of plants and I got really excited because they were some that I had been looking for so I was happy to see them.. I took the tour and I thought we could eat some of the fruits and plants not sure if I had read that on the website or was told that would be the case. There were so many star fruits that were ripe and fell off the tree.. so a few of us picked from the trees, there were trees all over. Some people never saw the fruit on a tree so wasn’t sure what it was. The tour guide she had us sample a few leaves but when we ate the star fruit she said not to pick them because they are sold in the farmers market. Like lady do you see how much is on the ground? Why aren’t they being harvested everyday? These things will fall and rot really fast.. (but then again they are the experts). That just really annoyed me, but it’s a great place to visit. They had a few fruits that you could purchase but if they would sell most of their produce, I would definitely do my grocery shopping there. The people are really nice otherwise, just be clear about the rules. I bought quite a bit of plants. I am still searching for the shampoo ginger plant, (they had it on the farm but they don’t have it for sale), nutmeg tree and the Kama sutra mint/ Jamaican stick mint. You should check it out with your family. Just be careful we saw a huge black and red snake( didn’t know if it was poisonous), but they have ducks, chickens and pigs on the farm. I have videos so I am unable to post it here.

While I appreciate the concept of what they are trying to create there as a demonstration farm and innovative farming techniques, they lack basic animal welfare. Just one example are the rabbits. Rabbits are not sustainable to raise and virtually impossible to raise in a humane way. Rabbits are fragile and have a high mortality rate. They have a relatively high environmental impact as only about 20% of feed converts into meat. If people want to eat rabbits that is their choice but at least give them some quality of life while raising them. They have this prey animal in suspended wire bottom cages with barely room to turn around. It's a miserable existence and certainly not an example of God's call to action to be stewards This farm has created such a headache for my rabbit rescue over the years as folks visit their site and then get the idea to raise rabbits but have no clue what they are doing. Then they are calling me with rabbits cages ripped apart by predators, fly strike, and overbreeding. They often have upwards of a 100 rabbits in no time and no clue what to do with them. From what I've seen, there is little regard for respect and.care for the community of life that ECHO likes to talk about in their mission.

A great place to visit if you love nature and farming. This place offers an hour and half tour around the place and proves education about sustainability and various ways of farming in different parts of the world and their climates. This is a nonprofit organization which provides education not just locally but, around the world (mainly in disadvantaged parts). Their goal is to provide knowledge about sustainable farming, so small communities can become independent by growing their own crops. It was very interesting to see and taste various plants which may be new to some individuals. During the tour they offer water to drink, which was very thoughtful. They also have a small gift shop inside the building, and a nursery where you can buy some plants. As I was told donations are welcome as this is their way to operate and do great deeds.

Lovely nursery with lots of trees and plants to choose from. The prices were great too! I got 6 different trees for $20 each or less! The staff was patient and helpful too. I can't wait to return and take the tour. (Will restart in September 2024.

I cannot say enough great things about Echo Farm. I had an outstanding experience on both the farm tour and the technology tour. I feel like most people just take the farm tour but the technology tour is fascinating and probably the tour I favored. This charity is such an inspiration for providing sustainable farming, clean water, and other habitat resources. I think the tours are a day and a few dollars well spent. The tour guides were both awesome, funny, and knowledgeable. The different regions of farming are well spaced and extremely diverse. My favorite part was the variety of water wells and purification techniques, along with the hut/home building done with recycled material, and the resourcefulness of the methane gas.
