Wewa: The Land of Honey
As I wandered the area under the enormous, moss-draped oak trees, I saw few people walk by any of the tables without stopping to chat with the sellers, get a taste of the honey (from a spoon or a drop right onto their finger) and, finally, make a purchase – usually of more than one jar.

Cultural Cuisine
No one should leave Florida without at least one Cuban meal, whether it’s breakfast, lunch or dinner. You don’t need to find fancy restaurants – comfortable, family-friendly spots where Spanish is usually the first language will do.

Living Off the Land at Rosas Farm
The Rosas pride themselves on raising everything organically. No chemicals come near these fields, where grass-fed beef graze, chickens peck and the Rosas sell the grass-fed beef, the farm-fresh eggs, organic cookies and other local, organic products such as honey and herbs from other producers.

The Yearling: Southern Hospitality
The signs for the restaurant look as though they may have been here when the place first opened as a bunkhouse for fishermen in the 1940s and as a restaurant in 1952.
