15th St Farm

What a great find!! We stumbled across a video about a dinner that's hosted at the 15th St. farm in St Pete! They use ingredients that they grow on their farm and they host about 40 to 50 people for dinner a few times per week! Everything is served family style from appetizers, entrées and desserts. They start the night by offering a homemade butterfly pea flower tea that they use the butterfly pea flowers from their farm. Appetizers were kimchi, pickles and coleslaw all from their ingredients on the farm. For the first course, it was a pumpkin soup, which was delicious! They had a little palate cleanser, and then the entrées were served, which was a chicken thighs and rice, pilaf and vegetable vegetables. They had this delicious focaccia bread that was warm and buttery. For dessert it was a pumpkin pie cheesecake which was amazing!! The night was fun good vibes good conversation with lots of people around to share a great meal! The owner stood up and told the story about the farm and thanked us for dining. What a great evening!

Overall, I would give a positive review when combining our two dinner experiences at this farm. I love the concept of offering farm-grown products in a social, communal setting. Our first dinner, a Halloween event, was a great introduction and enjoyable enough that it made us want to return. Unfortunately, our second visit for the Italian-themed dinner did not live up to the first experience. The chef, service, and hosts were different, and the overall quality felt inconsistent. Some appetizers, such as the cauliflower and eggplant, were overly salty. The focaccia was not served warm as it had been before, and there was very little of it—each guest received only one small slice, and when we asked for more, we were told it wasn’t possible. The salad, with very few tomatoes, was served quickly, followed almost immediately by the main pasta dish. Thankfully, the pasta was al dente and not too salty. Desserts were decent, although the tiramisu had an overpowering amount of limoncello. By the end of the meal, my husband, who is usually not a big dessert person, was still hungry. Considering the price point of approximately $90 per person, the small serving size, the fact that guests must bring their own wine, and that there is no option for seconds or even extra bread, the food and experience really need to be outstanding to justify the cost. I’ve read that they offer other types of events, which may be worth trying and could provide a better overall experience. As far as dinner, I don’t think there will be a third time.

The only words I have are blown away. By the food, by the purpose and mission, by the founder - this place is absolutely worth the visit and taking the time to really learn about them. I will be back for many dinners as I have never been a bib gourmand or Michelin star that has tasted even CLOSE to how good this meal was.

What an amazing place! I lived in this area for over 20 years and I never even knew about it. I wish I knew sooner! Chef Emmanuel is so knowledgeable about the environment, the foods we eat, how we grow our foods, etc. he has so many wonderful plants/herbs/vegetables in the garden. Things I never even knew existed that are so beneficial to our health. There’s also a huge kitchen there where he teaches cooking lessons. Outdoor there is also a very long table, surrounded by the outdoors where they host events. Definitely suggest checking them out!

Wonderful opportunity to see how beautiful things can grow even within a city! Atmosphere was exceptional, and both the knowledge and fun you experience as a part of their cooking classes truly can be appreciated. I would highly recommend this place and the people who obviously put so much care into the garden.

We when for a Yoga and breakfast event, it was lovely. After the class, they offered a fresh and healthy breakfast that included a salad with beet and cucumbers, frittata , a curry tofu scramble, a chia bowl, and bread with an herbal tea. Everything is family style to share.

Miracle on 15th Street What a treat to dine at the absolutely charming 15th Street Farm in St. Petersburg. The taste and feeling of experiencing their featured multi-course dinner “A Taste of France” on April 18th lingers on months later. The ambiance and natural setting of this urban farm and educational kitchen, located smack in the middle of the city, nestled among a wide array of lush plants, vegetables and trees, was truly magical. From the moment we arrived, we were totally charmed by the warm welcome of staff, the lush farm surrounding us, the subtle lighting and two long, beautifully set community tables. For a few hours, we got to savor a sumptuous dinner packed with farm grown fresh products harvested just a few feet away, while engaging in hearty conversations with friends and strangers. Community at its best! Indeed we were living the mission of this very special place: nourishing and nurturing food for the body, mind and soul. One of the staff members(or was it the inspired owner, entrepreneur, and author Emmanuel Roux himself?) who described the farm as a “breeding ground for dreams to come true!” Poignant words that struck a chord. The origin story of this place is no small feat. A mini miracle how this place grew from transforming several lots of Faith House, an alcohol and drug rehab center, into this lush urban teaching farm, one with offshoots in other neighborhoods, each providing hands-on education and volunteer opportunities for people of all ages. At the heart of their activities is growing healthy foods with no chemical fertilizers or pesticides nourishing them instead with soil microorganisms that contain “organic matter to feed the plants that feed us”. More than a night out or a meal, this fabulous urban farm is a place we want to come back to again and again.

My family and I attended the Farm-to-table dinner: Winter in France and honestly can’t remember the last time we had such a magical evening. From the moment we arrived at 15th St Farm, everything — the food, the service, the atmosphere — came together beautifully. First, the food: each course felt like a celebration of the season and of local ingredients. The dishes were thoughtfully prepared, with flavors that were rich, warming, and perfectly balanced — a tribute to classic French style and a nod to the farm’s freshest produce. Every bite reminded us why farm-to-table dining is so much more than just a meal: it’s a journey from soil to plate. The service was warm, attentive, and effortlessly gracious. The staff made us feel welcomed and taken care of, creating a relaxed yet elegant vibe that let the food — and the company — shine. As for the weather and setting: the night was breezy but comfortable, and the farm’s ambiance added a sense of calm, rustic charm. There was something comforting and special about eating under the open sky, surrounded by nature, with good food and even better energy. But what really elevated the experience was the meaning behind the event. Attending felt like we were supporting a mission: celebrating local farming, sustainable food systems, and genuine community connection. It felt meaningful — like every plate told a story about where our food came from and who grew it. Knowing that the meal was not just delicious but rooted in care and intention made everything taste even better. In short: this dinner wasn’t just a meal — it was a full-bodied experience. We walked away nourished, joyful, and inspired. If you care about thoughtful food, community-minded events, and truly memorable nights, don’t miss the next one. We can’t wait to go back.
