Great little tour!

This was a wonderful little fruit grove tour and then in the middle, you stop and look at some rescued wildlife. The wildlife was great! They had some available for petting too. The fruit grove tour was nice. They had just pruned the orange trees,...More

Mixon Fruit Farms is the Fruit Farm Cliche

Fun Florida Tourist Trap

We wanted to spend a day doing touristy Florida, and this place certainly fit the bill. The tram tour isn't as much about the fruit trees (though you do see those) as it is about the rescued animals. Nile crocodile, baby alligators, macaw, African tortoises......More

We are going to be visiting in the area next month and I really want to see the wildlife refuge at Mixon Fruit Farms. As a supporter of Wildlife, Inc., I want to see how they are caring for the animals. One thing that distresses me terribly is seeing animals in captivity for profit, and animals that are not property cared for. What I'd like to know is if care is taken to prevent stress on the animals in rehabilitation, and if the stories of the lives of the animals who are in captivity indicate that they absolutely cannot be rehabbed and returned to the wild. Thank you.
