FARM MEMBERSHIPS AVAILABLE

Our family farm is a tiny 100' x 1388' strip of land in the heart of Pinellas County, Florida --the most densely populated county south of New York City. We are 3.19 acres of urban paradise!

Gateway Organic Farm is a former landscape nursery in transition to a series of wonderful herb and vegetable gardens. After years of neglect, the sandy soil has become fertile and robust with the addition of composted organic matter and now yields a bounty of beautiful produce each week at harvest.

Our goal is to provide the freshest vegetables, herbs, and flowers to our CSA members and local Tampa Bay chefs who share our love of "slow food." Hydroponics trials are underway using OMRI approved nutrients. Naturally grown and pesticide free is our pledge.

Planting Seeds

WATER by Daniel Nahmod Featuring Planting Seeds and other award-winning songs.

map of farm"On an unlikely plot of land nestled between the traffic-clogged arteries of US 19 and the Bayside Bridge, in densely populated Pinellas County, an urban garden fed over three dozen families this past year, sparked the interest of Tampa Bay’s brightest restaurateurs, and got people excited about locally-grown, pesticide-free food. In short, the farmer and his wife accomplished a miracle. "Ohio natives Hank and Pamela Sindlinger had a good solid plan for retirement by age 55, but serendipity intervened in a big way, delivering the chance to sow new seeds and reap quite a different harvest. Their Gateway Organic Farm is well on its way to a second season of celebrating the earth’s bounty, with Mother Nature’s approval, of course." -- From an article in the October/November 2008 Bay Area Business Magazine
