TAMPA, Fla. — The sun shines down on the sunn hemp at Ananda Farm on Terra Ceia Island — right where their corn maze should be. 

“September rains hastened the planting transition. A lot of the crops just can’t take it. And then throw 100 miles an hour winds on it. And you end up with corn that looks like this,” said farm owner Chris Boss, holding a remnant of a corn plant with a damaged cob.

Boss is undeterred, moving forward with multiple flower fields — snapdragons and zinnias to start.

“And then a really cool mix of Florida wildflowers — about almost 20 flowers all mixed together,” Boss said.

Boss is showing off the 40-acre Agri-tourism destination on the island of Terra Ceia in northern Manatee County.

The former palm farm is transitioning to tropical fruits.

“So a lot of mango, avocado, dragon fruit, passionfruit, banana, pineapple,” said Boss.

And even with major flooding, damages and high winds, some of the crop survived.

“We lost probably two-thirds of the mango that was just planted,” said Boss.

The shoulder high mango trees are now survivors of multiple weather calamities.

Boss will replant again. He’s undeterred.

Their nursery is stocked for them and for visitors.

Little peeps can watch all the action from Ananda’s tree house attraction. It’s one of 15 to explore.

There are double air pillows, corn-kernel beaches with a wine bar, tug-o-war, gaga ball, tricycle races, giant bubbles, a playground, a treehouse, huge slides, gem mining and swings.

Boss also has Insta-worthy photo opportunities — think a tractor in a field of flowers or a chandelier topped bench set in a row of palms Boss kept from the old farm — picture perfect beauties.

Early family feedback has been positive.

“Adults were really happy to have a space the kids can just run,” said Boss.

And the rooftop terrace makes it easy for adults to watch them.

“We’ve got really, really good food. And really, good beer and wine and it’s relaxing,” said Boss.
