Just FYI they are hoping to stay open until Saturday 3/25 if supplies last!!! Don't miss out on the best Strawberry shortcake dessert! Great family outing, usually busy during 11-3 pm.
I've never been here before and I'm super disappointed in myself for that! It's a bit of ways away from me, but we'll worth the trip! They have a great menu to choose from and service is super quick! From what I understand they open late fall and are open until about March. Unfortunately their last day to be open was March 20, 2022 for this season. Inside the ordering area there's also a small market to buy veggies, preserves, and a few other things. I didn't know they did sandwiches and let me say their Cuban is amazing! Even better than ones I've have in Ybor (I know that's blasphemy to say!). They have tomato's and lettuce on the side so you have the choice to add it if you want. Condiments are left to the side of the ordering area to pick up by the ordering area. I ordered a strawberry smoothie and it was sooo good! (Though I only got a couple of sips before it spilled in my car ). However the REAL show stopper? It's the "The Works" Shortcake! The cake is soft, the ice cream a perfectly smooth vanilla creamy goodness (huge portion of it too), strawberries, and whip cream! The whip cream itself is not very sweet but the ice cream alone will make up for that. My friend ordered the strawberry pizza slice and said it was amazing! If you want a whole pie you'll need to call 24 hours in advance to let them know. I bought some strawberry butter preserves but I haven't tried them yet; however, it looks delicious and has a long expiration date on it. Honestly when this place opens back up y'all better get down here and taste this amazing food!
While dashing in Fish hawk, i got taken way to close to this market and decided to take a detour! I know it's Friday n i had this gut feeling it was going to be as full as the one on 92 in plant city. It was but this one actually has a better parking lot layout! Looks like they could expand the lot more to. I saw a couple trucks gambling with parking in the grass but i wasn't sure if it was a farm road instead. I got lucky with handicap spot right up front. Please have patience n be careful, there is a lot of car and pedestrian traffic in the lot. Huge blind spots with the trucks blocking view. Being a Friday the line was as big as plant city. This market is in a good spot. Dead center of many farm n country homes n communities. Takes a long drive to get here from lithia pincrest / boyette, but way shorter for the gibsonton folks. Feels closer from 301. The door fir market is the same for the treat dessert side. You will be greeted by a store clerk that makes sure nobody is cutting the line. Believe me, people were giving me "the stare!" Lol i sneaked into the market side. The good thing is that there's railing dividing us. So if u want to send dad in by himself? U could always wait by the rails or go outside n hold a table. Most people i saw were buying n ditching. On the market side there were a couple stalls of fruit n veggies. Then a whole wall with pallets of strawberries. They had 2 sizes. Half ish and full flat. I walked out with a full flat for $12! Great price tag on the strawberries! Picked up a couple veggies to cook for dinner. Best size on the green peppers. U can make great meal with them! Im going for stuffed mushrooms n beef green peppers! 2 for $1 was great. Will definitely come back for more veggies. I need to come back during opening time for the shortcake n milkshake n just over kill my cravings lol. Fruit will make your car smell like heaven! bring a nice big food bag. They do sell flax boxes for $1.50 you can fit two flats if u take that option or shove the veggies in there with everything. I also added sugar free strawberry sauce. I may make some tarts with it to. They sone local honey n jams. Nice small market, friendly staff to. I highly recommend to come early or bring grandparents with blue badge out for treats! Don't throw box away! Bring it for next time! Forgot to mention; dunno if they do it? But the place would make a ridiculous amount of money if they added like a live music band n a bbq grill off the side during night time. This is like the only business like this towards any side of the road! Like rent out space for food trucks also? Place would make more bank! It's far away from communities so no noise complaints. Nice country barn with bbq n music on the side? Bam bring in the mula! Lol theres a winery in uhh plant city north area near the dino world? Has a similar setup. They started with just wine testing but when they added the dance floor n restaurant to it? It'm blew up! Then on holidays? Theme hard bring in cute gift sets. Flat shaped like a heart? Bruh! Better than flowers! Choco dip strawberries to!
The strawberries from the farm are nothing like when you get them off season in the store. I have been coming here for 3 years now and the lines seem to be longer and the staff seems to be less urgent. They also discontinued their stamp card this year. I finally tried a Cuban and I didn't think it was worth the wait. Now , the strawberry pizza for sure is!! We tried to go back today and the line was around the building so we left.
Always one of my favorites during the strawberry season. Now only can you wait in line to get a shake, dessert, hot dog, or sundae, but you can also shop for local produce. Goodson's has a great variety of local produce with fantastic prices. The freshest strawberries around too. Don't forget to pickup your stamp card to earn your free flat of strawberries too. They're only open during season, and closed on Sundays. So make sure you check them out December - March!
Omg. I countdown every year until this place opens! My hubby is a Floridian and has never had strawberry pizza - how that's possible, I have no idea. But he fixed that this year. And boy was he happy. We went shortly after they opened so the lines weren't long. Our eyes are always bigger than our stomach when we go here. So we had a Cuban, strawberry shortcakes and a slice of strawberry pizza. Everything was music to my belly. Everything. Of course we had to go back and grab some fresh veggies and we couldn't leave without getting strawberries of course. My husband was amazed by the VERY reasonable prices. My work team in Milwaukee will each receive a small local honey to showcase the beauty of Florida. Multiple visits to this place are mandatory!
Closed for the season, reopening in December 2021. They are the greatest but short lived. This year, with Covid, made it more difficult to enjoy their ice cream side, due to the long lines, around the building. Although worth the wait, not a go to place considering that. Their vegetable side was great and the strawberries were outstanding, but I noticed that other than strawberries, the other items were in short supply. Either way, they will be missed for another 8 months.
One word: YUM! The freshest of the fresh strawberries and most yummy milkshakes can be found here! So sad it is closed until the season starts back up again. What an awesome gem to find. This place gets busy and for good reason! Cheap, very reasonable prices and quality produce. I can't wait til they reopen again so I can get my strawberry milkshake fix!
Meh... just an average farm shop to buy dessert and pick up some berries. The prices are fair. The berries are average but fresh. They have a selection of sauces, jams, produce, etc but that stuff is not made in house. Other vendors and more overpriced in my opinion. Apparently pother people love the Cubans but I wasn't impressed at all. It was a family outing and so fun but I probably won't return since it's not close by for me.

Best lunch on a cloudy day! Fresh strawberry Sunday and fresh strawberry shortcake, eaten outdoors, next to the strawberry fields. Reasonable (very!) prices! Both of these together were $9.00. Friendly staff, clean restrooms. Don't forget to shop their small farm market while you're there! read more
Will return. I've been hearing about its strawberries for sometime and finally got to visit it. They're a simple farm that sell produces and jams, with sit down tables outside. There are strawberry fields and packing houses. Today's strawberries are on the hard side and rather sour. The Georgia vidalia hot sauce is too sweet for my taste - although I know onion hot sauce could be sweet. read more
Tis the season! Florida strawberry season that is.. It really is a lovely one. Even more so when you don't have to wait 50 minutes to order your strawberry goodies in rare Florida freezing weather. Sorry but that was too reminiscent to a queue to hop on a major theme park ride. I really think the two girls that were there yesterday needed another pair of helping hands. Nonetheless, their strawberry pizza always hits the spot. This is a no-fail choice, if you have a little sweet tooth you want to satisfy. We also ordered the strawberry milkshake (small) which was yummy and the shortcake which was good as well though the strawberries tasted a LITTLE fermented in this one, which I feel was just an isolated issue as I've ordered it before without this being a thing. All that being said I would go again, specially since it's nearby. Just not on a day with treacherous weather conditions. read more

Shortly after moving to the area my neighbors told us about Goodson Farms. They said we "had" to be sure to go! I am sure glad they told us. I'm pretty sure I'm addicted to these fresh, right off the bush strawberries! They are absolutely the best, freshest strawberries I have ever eaten in my life!! The farm store is surrounded by strawberry fields. While we were there a gentleman was bringing in strawberries right from being picked. You won't get any fresher than here. And, I almost forgot to mention the size! They put Publix strawberries to shame! These strawberries are large! In addition to their amazing strawberries Goodson's also sells a small amount of some mixed Vegas. They have a display of all different flavors of jams. I purchased the strawberry and it's delicious. They also serve lunch. They have a window where you can place an order. They serve Cuban sandwiches, hot dogs, strawberry shortcakes, strawberry shortcakes with ice cream, shakes, chocolate dipped strawberries. There are plenty of picnic tables outside for you to sit and enjoy your treats or lunch. There is plenty of parking right out front. The sad news is that they are seasonal and only open from December thru April. Their hours are Monday - Saturday 9-6 and they are closed on Sunday If you haven't tried the strawberries from Goodson Farms you are missing out! You should go before the season ends! read more

Best strawberries ice ever had in the US. I'm from Belarus and it is pretty common thing over there to grow your own berries if you have a little country house. All berries are super sweet and full of flavor. Living in US I've tried strawberries only from stores and it is now even close to the strawberries from home. Me and my wife decided to try Goodson Farms, and it was worth it. From now on there is our Go-to place for strawberries! Taste great, smells amazing! Recommended To everyone who loves strawberries! read more

Fun experience for the whole family. If you like spicy make sure to pic up some jalapeño jam. If you're into sweet make sure you grab a strawberry shake and a strawberry pizza. read more
I've visited here on a weekend in hopes that I could pick some strawberries. The group of folks that I was with thought we could harvest fruit here as this is a farm. However, we arrived to see that there were long lines of people waiting for food/drink of some sort. Apparently, they have locally famous strawberry shortcake comparable to the ones in Plant City, Florida during strawberry season. There's also a little grocery market inside with locally grown produce, homemade jellies, varieties of honey, etc. I ended up getting a quart of chopped strawberries, a bulb of onion, and one of their more famous strawberry shortcake's. The shortcake was delicious! I would definitely consider coming here again if I happen to need to be on this side of town. It's a little ways out there over by Riverview, but if you are visiting, it's worth a stop by if you're craving strawberries while they're in season. read more

I LOVE this place! They have a nice selection of fruits and veggies in their produce market, as well as, a VERY popular cafe serving a handful of sandwiches and the famous strawberry shortcake. This seasonal market in the Ruskin area is a great place to stop for lunch and/or dessert. It is situated right next to the strawberry fields in a red barn building. The seating is located outside picnic table style, some in the shade and some in the sun.....but go on a beautiful breezy Florida day and it is fabulous to enjoy your treat outside. The portion sizes are great, enough for lunch or dinner. They close at 6pm each day, and are fully closed on Sunday's. Stop by soon! It is easy to get to right off of U.S. Route 301. read more
"Good" as advertised. This place is actually a distance from I-75. You will see nothing along the way then you see a strawberry farm and the production center. They close at 6 pm. The farm on the west of the compound has a lot of strawberry is growing. Some of them is green. The farm has wide field of strawberry. Certainly this is not just for public but also for production by the scale they have. The welcome center has strawberry for sell. But they are not in pricing. Some of the strawberry we seen is a bit dark red in the box. May be we arrive about 5:15 pm. All the good one already pick up by the visitors. The have food stand for strawberry short cake and hot dog. There is a lot visitor come to visit. I am guessing because of the strawberry season. read more
