An absolute wonderful time I had at Wacahoota Farms U-Pick Blueberries. This place is great. We…read morewent a few weekends ago and it was a rainy day. We hoped they would be open and to our surprise they were open and had tons of Blueberries and not many people. They charge $5 per pound of Blueberries or $25 for the full bucket which holds 5 to 6 pounds. If you decide you do not want to pick the blueberries yourself they charge 1 pound bags for $6. In order to get to this farm you either have to take Wiliston Rd or 441. You make your way down a dirt road and you keep driving. Thankfully they had signs that said U-Pick Blueberries which made it much easier to find. When at the farm they have several acres of Blueberries. We started picking and sampling at the same time. It was great to try the different types of blueberries they had. Every 10 minutes they hard what sounded like a gun shot go off to scare the birds away. They also had a bull horn to scare the birds as well. It was pretty epic. Overall I had a wonderful time picking the blueberries. It was fun and it was a great way to social distance from others. I would for sure recommend this farm.

The owner gave us a container with a bag and directed us to the blackberry plants for picking. When finished, the bag is weighed and it's $5 a pound.

It was fun to pick our own fresh berries.

So this may be slightly unfair as the owner, Bill, may have just been having a bad day today, but I…read morefeel strongly that your own circumstances or experiences on any given day are not an excuse to treat others poorly. Especially if you are working in a customer service capacity! He was just the type of person to get extremely upset with somone, and then basically write them off in his head. He is quick to anger, and when angered is quicker to be rude, short, and demeaning. And don't get me wrong, he was very nice to his customers, and anyone providing him with cash! But anyone "below" him, for lack of a better word, seems to get a totally different Bill. I happened to overhear a phone call to some vendor or customer service of some sort, and it was abhorrent! He didn't attack anyone, but he made it abundantly clear that his patience was worn thin, as he loudly and condescendingly repeated his demands using the exact same words each time (a tactic I have found people employ when they believe you are too stupid to comprehend what they said the first time) and would repeat the demand or concern at least 6 or 7 times too many, effectively telling the poor service person to shut up in so many words. I do have to say that he never attacked anyone overtly, used foul language or got aggressive in any direct way. But he has clearly mastered passive aggression to a degree I have rarely seen! I also only caught a small part of the conversation, but the way he hung the phone up in his anger, I genuinely thought he was going to send the phone he glar3d menacingly again his hand into orbit. He was red-faced and fuming! I also want to say that this whole exchange gave me an extremely negative reaction. I really do not feel comfortable doing business with someone who is so casual and seemingly skilled at belittling service workers who are just trying their best to help, even if they are not always the best one for the job (we have all gotten that guy on the phone who is clearly counting the minutes to the end of their shift, or who may need to consider moving to a less 'people oriented' position! We have all been there! Haha) but none of that warrants this feeling of superiority he gave off either! Entitlement! That's the word I have been looking for! Bill very clearly believes he is better than someone with a lowly service job, and that they are simply there to do his bidding, his way, or else! He probably walks around saying, "the customer is always right," but we all know they are not! Customers are frequently wrong, and I thought we were past the age where we needed to hide behind this archaic cliche! Sometimes you're going to hear that you are wrong Bill! Or that something is not going to work in exactly the way you imagined it. Or that two different perspectives can both be correct! Just because you see something one way does not mean that everyone in existence sees it that way as well! And if you had waited, or been willing to answer the questions asked of you without preemptively shutting them down by repeating yourself over and over and over and over and over again, you may not have had to disconnect the call so aggressively! But again, I obviously only heard one side, and am filling in the blanks using my own filters, but honestly the whole thing just gave me the ick! Now, you are all probably wondering why is she obsessing over this overheard telephone conversation?! Why do we even care?! Well, I unfortunately have to report that it was the most exciting thing about this outing to the farm William operates. It was beautiful, and all naturey and everything. The berries were good, but certainly not "the freshest, juiciest blackberries that Mother Nature has to offer," as the website claims, either. The berries were mid, the venue was pretty dirty and dusty, which is mentioned on their website as well, but they claim to clean the spots "most frequently touched" and that was not very evident. The nature part is really pretty though, and they were right about needing sunscreen out there all day! So do with that information what you will!! But as an experience, it was OK at best. It would probably make a better venue for a big event though as well. There just wasn't much to do beyond picking berries. I KNOW! That IS the thing to do, but honestly they could have had more there beyond picking berries or washing your hands, which they were weirdly insistent about for some reason as well despite the dusty outdoor nature of the location, haha! All of these things added together make it an overall pass for me. I would rather not do business with a man who feels superior to someone just because of their job title or earning potential! In fact, I suspect the white, generational privilege our dear Bill so clearly benefits from is the only reason he was able to get into this field in the first place. Maybe his GI bill, or military benefits... that is neither here nor there, just a final thought I included as a bonus, or some

Wilmot was a horticulturist with the University of Florida's Agricultural Experiment Station during the 1940's. Wilmot was an authority on camellias (he was a "flower child" before the term was embraced by a generation in the 1960's) and classified many of the 3,000 known varieties of the flowering shrub. Wilmot also served on the American Camellia Society, the offices which were once housed on the grounds of the University of Florida. Wilmot passed away in 1950 and Wilmot Botanical Gardens was named in his honor on January 18, 1954. Wilmot Botanical Gardens is a tranquil place and a great place to escape the stress of the hustle and bustle and the grind of modern day life. All in all, this is a great place and one that I would definitely recommend. At one point, Wilmot Botanical Gardens had the largest collection of camellias in the United States of America and the second largest collection of camellias in the world.
