Community Giving

Old McMicky’s Farm received a Special Commendation from the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners recognizing the Farm for creating an outstanding family friendly venue giving kids and families a taste of life on a working farm, and for the Farm’s many programs focused on giving back to the Tampa Bay community. Please see the video.

Each year, the farm’s “1000 Kids” Program has the goal of welcoming 1,000 kids in the Tampa Bay area who are facing challenges to come out for a great day at the farm and enjoy amazing moments with animals and activities in an atmosphere of love and fun – no charge. We are proud to have hosted over 6,700 children facing challenges under our “1000 Kids” Program since 2013.

In Hillsborough, Pasco & Pinellas counties the Title I and Renaissance Public School Program is designed to provide supplemental funds to school districts to assist schools with the highest student concentrations of poverty to meet school educational goals. Its overall purpose is to ensure that all children have a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education and attain high academic standards.

Old McMicky’s Farm is committed to creating a fun, memorable and educational day for as many children at these schools as possible. To do this, we subsidize all Title I and Renaissance schools/students attendance at the Farm.
To date, we are very glad to have hosted approximately 28,000 Title 1 and Renaissance Public School children.

A $20,000 Dream Wedding Gift of Appreciation to All Schools and Teachers of Hillsborough, Pinellas and Pasco Counties!
Teachers make such a huge difference in the lives of children and families in our Tampa Bay community, we thought a great way for Old McMicky’s Farm and the community to show our appreciation was to help a teacher start a family of their own.
