If you’re local to Palmetto, Terra Ceia, Ellenton, or Parrish, you already know what a gem this family-owned citrus stand is. Open seasonally, The Citrus Place is where locals go for fresh-squeezed juice, hand-picked Florida citrus, and thoughtfully made goods from area growers and makers. It feels like an old-Florida tradition, and I’m honored that my products get to join their shelves.

What You’ll Find on the Shelves
The Citrus Place is now carrying a selection of Stepping Stone’s botanical products, including:
Botanical Skin Balm
A soothing herbal salve infused with comfrey, plantain, calendula, and rose petals in a blend of organic sunflower, virgin coconut, and jojoba oils. Enriched with essential oils of lavender, petitgrain, and frankincense, BOTANICAL SKIN BALM nourishes dry or irritated skin and supports natural repair after minor cuts and scrapes.
NoBite Botanical Bug Spray
Powered by nature’s most effective aromatic oils, NoBite Botanical Bug Spray naturally deters biting insects while leaving a soft, citrus-herbal aroma.
Formulated for gentle, effective protection for the whole family. Suitable for adults and children ages 2 and up when used as directed.
Not recommended for infants under 2 years old.
Free from DEET, parabens, phthalates, and synthetic fragrance. Handcrafted in small batches for clean, plant-based protection.
Probiotic Florida Plant Tonic
Florida Plant Tonic is a living microbial concentrate created through natural fermentation. Made in small batches with worm castings, kelp, molasses, and Lactobacillus serum, it nurtures beneficial microbes that strengthen roots and revive soil health.
Infused with comfrey, nettle leaf, and aloe vera, this nutrient-rich formulation enhances plant resilience and encourages lush, thriving growth — even in Florida’s challenging climate.
Directions: Shake gently before use. Dilute 2 tbsp per gallon of water and apply every 2–4 weeks as a soil drench or foliar spray.
PAW GUARD
Herbal paw protection for Florida’s toughest terrain. Shields against hot pavement, salt, sand, and rough ground while soothing and restoring dry, cracked pads.
Handcrafted with calendula, comfrey, rosehip, and lanolin for year-round comfort.
Each formula is made with high-quality botanical ingredients and created with Central Florida gardens, coastlines, and lifestyles in mind.
A Local Shop Worth Visiting
The Citrus Place has been a part of Terra Ceia for decades, and stepping inside feels like a little slice of “old Florida”—the kind you don’t find often anymore. You can browse their citrus, pick up some local honey, try their fresh-squeezed juice, and now explore small-batch herbal goods from local makers, like me!
