Tradewinds Park's Educational Farm opened in 1977 with a goal of educating the public about farming, food production, and the agricultural history of Broward County. The farm, located on the north side of Tradewinds Park in Coconut Creek, is approximately 325 acres and includes a livestock barn, horse stable, micro-apiary, and the historic McLean farmhouse.
