Meet the Farmers
We are the Mathews Family!
Sweet Season Farms was founded just north of Milton, Florida in 2008. Being 4th generation farmers, it is very important to us to continue the farming tradition while also being able to raise our children on the farm and teach them the values and responsibilites that come with everyday farm life. We also wanted to teach others about the importance of agriculture.
In 2009 we partnered with The MAIZE Company out of Utah to create an 8-acre corn maze and an agricultural experience like none other in the Florida panhandle. By adding fun farm activities and agricultural education we could now give visitors an opportunity to enjoy some of the fun traditions that we love and also learn about why agriculture is important in our daily lives!
For us, Sweet Season Farms is a passion. It is a whole year of work and planning for the excitement of a six-week whirlwind of fun. On any given day, you can find Trent and I running the ticket booth, unloading drinks, cutting grass or fixing tractors. Throughout the year we raise beef cattle and grow grass for hay and sod.
All four of our children are involved in the farm business and keep themselves busy pursuing their own ambitions. Morgan is a former Division 1 track athlete and college graduate from the University of South Alabama. She is currently pursuing a degree in Pharmacy MD at Auburn University. Lucas is a senior at the University of Florida pursuing a degree in Forest Natural Resources. He recently completed an internship with the Alabama Farmers Cooperative and started his own cattle operation. Laney is a Sophomore in high school and is active in volleyball, track and Future Farmers of America. Caleb runs cross country, track, plays basketball and is an active member of FFA. He is also the family gardener and cares for his chickens, cows, donkey, dog and cats daily.
We will be honored to have you spend the day with your family and friends at our 17th Annual Corn Maze and Fall Fun Festival beginning September 27th! We love sharing our farm and look forward to meeting you!!
Can't wait to see you in the Fall!
