Caceres Organic Blueberry & Turmeric Farms is nestled in the heart of the Suwannee River Water Basin, home to some some of the most beautiful freshwater springs in the world. We have been a WWOOF host since 2011. Over 500 organic volunteers from around the world have lived and worked at the farm so we are used to creating an atmosphere of community and sustainable living. We have cleared tent camping lots for Hip Campers in front of the on-property lake with easy access to swimming and fishing. There are two solar shower stalls with hot water powered by the sun. It is specifically built to overlook the main blueberry field and peach grove. Stunning views at sunset. An outhouse / composting toilet is currently under construction with the rain water collection system now complete. In the meantime a portable toilet is provided. A potable water station is available and built from re-purposed materials and wood harvested locally.
We are a working farm. We supply every Lucky's Market location with fresh turmeric and a host of stores with our blueberries. We also have an active u-pick program during the blueberry and peach harvests (late March to early June) that is available to Hip Campers.
There are multiple springs within 30 miles in various directions - some of them of First Magnitude volume. Ichetucknee Springs offers excellent river rafting. Ginnie Springs offers world class underwater cave diving -PADI license required. Manatee Springs and Fanning Springs consistently offer up close sightings of Manatees without the crowds of Crystal River. There is also a boat launch on the Suwannee River just minutes from the farm for boating, skiing and fishing. Bob's River Place is minutes away.
The Gulf of Mexico is just 40 miles away. Scalloping season begins June 15 this year and runs to September. Oyster season lasts all winter. The Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park is 50 miles away and hosts several large music festivals from Spring to Fall including Hullaween on October 23-25.

My girlfriend and I arrived Thursday afternoon planning to leave Saturday, but ended up staying until Sunday. We felt so welcomed, relaxed, and secure all st the same time. Richard was a warm and accommodating host offering directions, greetings, and firewood deliveries. A great stay overall. Steaming hot showers are provided along with a beautiful sunset view from the stalls. Campsites are well maintained and grounds of the farm are pleasant. A watering hole is available on the property and was fresh and clear, room from jumping as well. Nice places to suntan. Thanks Richard for a wonderful weekend on your farm.
Nice tent site. Affordable. Able to park car at your site. I was the only one around, so it was pretty quiet. An outhouse and pavilion and rain barrel with water were the amenities. I did have phone service. Nights a bit loud with traffic from the distance and dog barking also in the distance. M8ss3d
Richard is a wonderful host & very accommodating to our last minute after dark reservation. We stayed @ Site 4, slept peacefully & available firewood was a plus. Very nice well maintained campsites. Sites 1-3 are closer together and towards the back of the property site 4 is closer to the front. All sites could accommodate a couple overland rigs. We enjoyed our short overnight stay here.
My stay was great! I was looking for a peaceful, dog-friendly spot that was close to Manatee and Fanning Springs, and this place was perfect. It was about a 30-min drive to Manatee Springs.
I also work remotely, and was able to get decent cell service and Starlink connectivity, which was a big bonus!
I will definitely recommend Richard's farm to friends and family who are looking for spots close to the springs.
