Jupiter Creamery offers a unique insight on how a Florida homestead farm is operated while teaching you everything you would want to know about where your food comes from! Whether it’s how farms sustainably raise their livestock using regenerative farming practices free from pesticides and herbicides or how to milk a cow, we have it all and then some! Through our interactive tours you will meet our chickens, lamb, turkeys, pigs, and our cows. We strive to make our farm a learning experience fit for all ages, and a large portion of every tour we do goes straight to our animals to help teach even more people!

A minimum of 24 hours' notice is required to book a tour. Payment in full is required to reserve your booking and a minimum of 48 hours' notice is required to receive a refund.

Warning: There are some diseases and parasites that can be spread from animals to humans. The risk of infection through petting farm animals may be prevented by following everyday good hand hygiene measures. Therefore, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warns that children and adults should wash their hands immediately after touching the animals at any petting zoo. Heightened precautions should be applied to high-risk groups: children under the age of five, people with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women fall in the category of high-risk for serious infection, and hence should strictly follow all the precautions enforced in the animal contact area.
