## Overview

Founded in 2018, the St Pete Micro Farm (SPMF) is an ambitious project located in Saint Petersburg Florida. Resting on just 1/10th of an acre, this 1957 mid-century modern home hosts over 80 different species of fruiting tree and shrub. With the goal of blending natural beauty and innovative design, it's an ever-evolving space that is both inviting and surprising. During your stay, we invite you to enjoy an open-air yet tastefully private outdoor shower, or relax back into the big enough for two garden tub. A large outdoor kitchen area with a gas burner will also be available for your use. On chillier evenings, you can toast marshmallows by the fire pit, or just star gaze and let time trickle by. During the day, you'll be free to get online and catch up with the work world, or walk the garden and discover one of the many hideaways scattered around the property. You never know what will be in season, but with the guidance of one of your hosts, you can try a variety of fruits, greens, and berries if they're ready for harvest. A rich variety of wild birds visit regularly, recognizing it as a safe haven for wildlife. And though we can't guarantee you'll see a rare one, we can guarantee you'll see CHICKENS! Six of them in fact, Salty, Sleepy, Jet, Little Comb, Tapatio, and Dutchess. These friendly, curious, and fearless little marauders are guaranteed to make your acquaintance, and if you're not looking, invite themselves to share your breakfast. They free roam the yard during daylight hours, so please help us keep all gates shut to prevent them from going on an unscheduled field trip. They will also leave "landmines" on the pathways, so be sure to watch your step. We do our best to keep everything clean and tidy, but chickens abhor tidiness. And will go out of their way to unleash chaos at every turn. Still, we love the little bird brains and they are an entertaining addition to the grounds. They're also the reason we ask that all pets, and children under 12, be left at home. We thank you for your understanding and help in preserving the safety of our flock, and as thanks, please help yourself to any fresh eggs in the chicken coop. This is only a brief description, there's so much more to see on-site, but you'll also want to make your way out into the city (15 minute drive) for some of the unique flair St Pete is known for. Check out the Salvadore Dali museum and see his famous surrealist paintings. Visit some of the best beaches in the country, like St Pete Beach (15 minutes drive due West). Wander the Fort Desoto historical park area. Or Stop by the Morean Arts Center and see live glass blowing demonstrations, or just walk along Central Ave to soak up the cool vibe and rich city art scene. Complete with murals, sculptures, and a pier scene that's not to be missed.

**House rules:**

- A Few Simple Rules We want you to enjoy the Micro Farm, explore, relax, and make yourself at home. We simply ask that you treat the property, plants, animals, and other guests with respect. * Respect the plants and trees. Please don’t cut, break, dig up, or remove any plants, trees, fruit, flowers, or other parts of the garden without permission. * No property damage. Please treat buildings, furniture, equipment, gardens, and other property with care. Intentional or negligent damage may result in additional charges and/or removal from the property. * Bring your own firewood. If you’d like to use the fire pit, please bring logs or firewood with you. Do not burn trees, branches, lumber, garden debris, or anything else you find on the property. * Respect the chickens. Don’t chase, harass, feed, or throw anything at the chickens. Please keep gates closed so they don’t escape. * Keep fires contained. Fires must stay in designated fire pits and should never be left unattended. * Respect the peace. This is a home and a working urban farm, not a party venue. Please keep noise at a reasonable level and be considerate of the people who live here and other guests. * No illegal drugs, fighting, violence, or threatening behavior. We have a zero-tolerance policy for these behaviors. * Children must be supervised. Children under 13 are not our preferred guests, and if they do stay, they must be supervised by an adult at all times, particularly around the chickens, gardens, and other property features. Most importantly, enjoy the place! Wander the gardens, sit under the trees, watch the chickens, cook something outside, and take advantage of the opportunity to experience a little piece of urban farm life.

> My stay at the St. Pete Micro Farm residence was peaceful, relaxing, and I will definitely be booking this place again! The hosts were responsive, helpful, and it was so obvious how much love and care they put into the tiny house; it was extremely clean, well-stocked with the necessary overnight goodies, and smelled very fresh. Their garden was beautiful and offered more tranquility than I could have ever expected to experience in an urban setting. Every night I fell asleep to the soft sounds of locusts and birds, and awoke to the rustling leaves as they moved in the warm breeze. I left the mi…

> Everything I hoped for in a micro-farm stay—and more! The tiny house is incredibly well laid out and had everything I needed. It feels cozy and thoughtfully designed without feeling cramped at all. I had such a good night’s sleep in the super cozy bed! The property itself is beautiful and clearly has so much thought and care put into it. I especially loved learning about the micro farm and watching the chickens—it’s such a peaceful little oasis. The location is also the perfect balance: tucked into a quiet neighborhood close to parks and walking trails, but only about 10 minutes from downtown…

> The accommodations were awesome. I chose the tiny house, which was a win. It's cozy, super comfortable, and laid out really well. In addition, it looks out on the flock of cute chickens. Endless entertainment. The hosts, Bill & Steph are so great. Not only are they friendly, the gave me the best recommendations for cool local spots. FYI, if you like wings and don't hit Mullets, you're doing yourself a disservice. My schedule didn't allow me to extend, but I found out that Bill was hosting a fire handling workshop shortly after I left! This place is so cool! I'm definitely coming back for one o…
