SCRUBLAND FARMZ ADDRESS:
22505 NE 130th Ct Rd
Fort McCoy, FL 34132
561-239-6484
NOTE: Don’t Get Lost! If using map apps like Google, just search for Scrubland Farmz and not the physical address. The physical address will send you down a dirt road 1/4 mile before the drive way. We had issues with people not finding the event last year. Google has fixed their “Scrubland Farmz” search to take you to the right place, but the physical address will literally steer you wrong.
