Our Story
Igo Family Farm is a backyard farm located in downtown Auburndale, Florida. Using syntropic methods to build healthy soil and cycle nutrients through our system, we’ve transformed a typical urban yard into a thriving, productive farm.
We grow and sell seasonal produce, herbs, cut flowers, and propagation materials for plants that thrive in Central Florida’s unique climate.
The farm is primarily run by Sam and Bre Igo, but it’s truly a community-powered project.Our main garden in Auburndale is supported by two additional satellite gardens in Polk County—spaces generously shared with us by local residents. Friends and family play an essential role in our operation, contributing everything from time and labor to propagation materials and nutrient-rich bokashi compost, provided by our friend Pablo and his organization, EcoHustle.
Sam brings years of experience as a regenerative garden consultant through his company, Central Florida Abundance. Since 2020, he has worked with homeowners and farmers to design systems that align with the natural rhythms and richness of Central Florida’s ecosystem.
As proud members of the Florida Native Plant Society, we are committed to protecting and restoring native habitats. Whenever possible, we incorporate native species into our farm to support wildlife and naturally reduce pest pressure on our crops.
Igo Family Farm is grounded in community, nature, and shared abundance. Our mission is to show that it’s possible to build a regenerative, productive farm in any backyard—and we’re here to help you do the same.
Regenerative, Syntropic Methods
We use syntropic farming techniques to build living soil, cycle nutrients efficiently, and grow in harmony with nature—even in an urban backyard.
Native Plants for a Balanced Ecosystem
By incorporating Florida-native species, we create pollinator habitats, reduce pest pressure naturally, and contribute to local ecosystem restoration.
Community-Powered Composting
Through partnerships with friends and local organizations like EcoHustle, we enrich our soil with bokashi compost and shared propagation materials—proving sustainability starts close to home.
