Between the Lakes
A private 4+ acre Florida homestead.
Bees. Chickens. Honey. Eggs. Life between two lakes.
Lutz, Florida
A little farm between two lakes.
Rustin Farms is our home, our apiary and our constantly evolving little piece of Florida.
Around here, days may mean checking a hive, gathering eggs, working on the pollinator garden, mowing more grass than anyone should own, watching wildlife along the shore or simply ending the day by the lake.
We aren't trying to make farm life look perfect. We're sharing what actually happens here.

Meet the flock, see what the hens are up to, and follow the egg side of Rustin Farms.

From the flock
Farm-fresh eggs.
Our chickens are part of everyday life at Rustin Farms, and when the girls are laying well, that means fresh eggs too. Availability changes with the flock and the season.

The pond owl
A barred owl took the kayak for a perch. We didn't plan it. That's just a day between the lakes.
