How nice it is to live in Florida & experience fresh fruit picking at its peak. I've now scratched…read moreoff peach picking off my list, and happy to have done so here. I received a bucket full of peaches from my neighbors who picked some last week from here. Oh they were so good, juicy, sweet, and organic. I went through that bucket so fast. Today they were open from 4-7. I prayed they would have some left. By 6pm, when I came out, they were almost gone. I managed to get almost a bucket full. By the end of my peach picking, the trees were pretty bare, and they said the words, they are now closed. Happy I got my peaches in time. Now, I'm ready to eat my sweet peaches of heaven. Oh yes, so ready!

They have lots of food options. This is a great place to go on a date or to take the whole family! I recommend bringing close toed shoes, water, and sunscreen.

Florida is STILL extremely hot in late September, so definitely wear comfortable shoes because there is quite a bit of walking. Bring sunscreen and a good hat because you'll definitely need them! The handcrafted pizza was delicious, and the fresh juices were SO good! There were also some really cute spots throughout the farm that were perfect for family fall pictures. The food was a little pricey, but honestly, I thought it was worth it. It seems like we're still in the off-season, so there wasn't a huge selection of things to pick. They did have sunflowers and tasty apple cider donuts. Overall, such a fun family outing! We'll definitely be back when there's more in season to pick.

PLEASE NOTE: STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE SEASON STARTS IN JANUARY. Apparently there's a season for the…read morestrawberry shortcake. I was driving from Tampa to Orlando in August and saw a bunch of signs for the "world famous" strawberry shortcake but couldn't get any :( there should really be a sign that details when the shortcake is available if it isn't going to be available year round but those signs are. It was pretty disappointing not being able to have it. I opted to get a strawberry bread (apparently it's always season for that) when I was there and it was really good! I wasn't quite in the mood for a milkshake, but the milkshakes are supposedly good here as well. Besides the strawberry treats, there is a whole store inside with a variety of jams, hot sauces, and merchandise as well as fresh fruit and veggies for sale. The seating area is really adorable (you can see it in the picture I posted). I guess I'll just have to come back during shortcake season to let you know if it's worth the "world famous" title.

The shop is adorable and has a lot of cute trinkets and snacks. My only thing is that it was a Saturday and they seemed disorganized. They only had one bartender, a private event later and bounce houses that were super small for the area and wet from the rain. I just feel like it was meh or poorly organized for the occasion. Other than that we love the bar and market area. It is cute.

I called them and they took my order over the phone. I ordered 2 lbs of blueberries and they were $6/ pound. I'm happy to have such sweet yummy local blueberries right off the blueberry tree. They also sell blueberry plants, jellies, jams, and blueberry syrup. It's definitely worth a trip! It's cash and credit and it's the easiest transaction ever. Just drive up to their table at their farm and they will have your blueberries ready for you!

I believe this place recently moved, so Apple Maps has the location about a half mile up but I just followed the signs and it was easy to find! Every employee we encountered was so kind, welcoming and just amazing! They were all so detailed in their answers if you asked questions and just wanted to help and be informative. The monster truck tour was AMAZING! Ranger Jack was really funny, informative and so kind to my 8 year old who has autism that I came here with. We learned so much about all the different animals they have here, it is a great fun, learning experience for kids. The whole experience overall is one my daughter will remember! It's definitely a great stop and worth the money!

#248 We picked here…read morelast year and we were eager to return and stock up on BB's for the rest of the year. When we picked last year it was pretty picked out so we wanted to be there at the beginning of the season. Finally saw an ad in the paper announcing the opening at Sat. morning. There we were, ready to pick and I asked the owner if the bushes had a lot of fruit. I was then informed that they had already been picked for the commercial market. Once that happens the u-picks open. Whatever was left was fair game. Here we go again. To make a long story short it took a little over an hour to pick 5 lbs. priced at $3 per pound it seems a good deal when the supers are asking $5 for one of those little cartons. The berries are awesome but you have to look for the ripe ones. Pretty sure we'll be going back real quick for another bucket. Can't have enough, we love everything blueberry.

Nothing like picking fresh blueberries. We just happened upon this place when looking for another…read more It's a nice little farm where you can pick blueberries, blackberries and peaches. Cost for berries was $20 for a gallon bucket full. Compare that to grocery prices. And one special thing they did that others have not is put a harness on you to attach the bucket to. Sure made picking a lot easier. If you enjoy picking your own fruit, give this farm a try. Well worth it.
