Fat Beet Farm Kitchen and Bakery
Fat Beet Farm is a working farm on West Hillsborough Avenue with a kitchen and bakery on the property, founded by Jen and Tim Curci in 2013 on what they describe as a ragged piece of coastal Florida land. Vegetables are grown in greenhouses on site, cooked in the kitchen and returned to the soil: scraps go through composting and a bio-digester built with the University of South Florida that turns food waste into fertiliser slurry, with rainwater harvesting and an on-site solar grid behind the rest. The counter serves sandwiches, biscuits, fried chicken and baked goods, and the farm runs tours, workshops, markets and volunteer days. It is the only venue in the Tampa Bay area holding a MICHELIN Green Star, awarded in the 2026 statewide Florida selection.
