Acres of Grace: A Stunning Wedding Venue in Central Florida

Feb

2024

Acres of Grace – Blossoming Beginnings

Acres of Grace is central Florida’s newest wedding venue, nestled in Howey in the Hills, Florida. This family-owned farm is a true labor of love. In 2018, Joe & his beloved wife embarked on a new journey with 40 acres of citrus grove to create something lasting. Today, the farm is a family affair with children and grandchildren joining the legacy.

A Mission of Stewardship and Commitment at Acres of Grace:

Acres of Grace’s mission resonates deeply, embodying a commitment to organic practices. Their dedication ensures a pure harvest, free from harmful pesticides—a vision of grace and sustainability.

Their mission actually gave me goosebumps and here it is; Our Mission Here at Acres of Grace Family Farms, we believe we are stewards of the land God has blessed us with. As such, we practice organic farming practices whenever possible. We want little hands to be free to eat without fear of eating pesticides along with them.

”But ask the animals what they think – let them teach you; let the birds tell you what’s going on. Put your ear to the earth – learn the basics. Listen – the fish in the ocean will tell you their stories. Isn’t it clear that they all know and agree that God is sovereign, that he holds all things in his hand?” Job 12:7-12

What a powerful mission. And what better place to begin your journey to marriage with a venue that has such a strong foundation and purpose!
