Deep Creek

About us

The property of Deep Creek is part of Florida's agritourism. The property has been used as a pasture for cattle for many years.

The Barn itself was used as an actual pole barn, housing tractors and hay, until it was enclosed in 2020. So when we say "The Barn" at Deep Creek, we really mean it!

Deep Creek Farms LLC operates as a tree and cattle farm. When visiting The Barn, you might catch a glimpse of our cattle in a nearby pasture.

Deep Creek also prioritizes an interest in preserving Florida History. We host learning opportunities, like sugar cane processing with our very own cane grinder that has been in our family for 5 generations. If you have ever been to the barn, you have probably seen Rosie and Posey, our two Florida Cracker cows. Cracker cattle is a historic breed descended from the first cattle brought by Spanish settlers in the 1500s. We love having this little bit of Florida History to share with our visitors. We also have a historic house that your guests will walk by from the parking lot to the barn.

We plan to host educational and cultural events in the future, so follow our social media for more info!

But what is Deep Creek?

Through the property runs two distributaries of the Santa Fe River. One is a branch of Monteocha Creek and the other is locally known as Deep Creek. Our family has been blessed to have Deep Creek in our backyards for generations.

The Raising of The Barn.

The story of the wedding barn starts with a proposal in the cow pasture.

The owner's son proposed to his girlfriend during a picnic in the cypress trees. They started their wedding planning and decided the pole barn would be the perfect spot. Except, it was still just a pole barn...filled with hay and equipment and feed.

So in August, the process of enclosing the barn began...for a November wedding. Family, friends, neighbors, and more all pitched in to make the Barn ready for their big day. We finished just hours before the wedding started. And then we spent the next 2 years using it as a special place for our family and friends while slowly working to improve what we started.
