Not still if they are still open this year. My entire family has enjoyed hand picking and selecting their own strawberries for 20 years

I truly love Pappy's and i love that it's closer than Southern Hill. But this new season has been rough. We went back for the first time since Ian after seeing they would be open at 10 on a Thursday. When we arrived at 10:02, it was to see that the parking lot was full with people already leaving with berries. There were rows and rows of no berries ready and we left with about 5. I definitely understand that things won't be perfect but the communication is what needs to be better. It's just not the same. read more

Pappy's Patch U-Pick Strawberries - Empty fields - Pick Your Own Farms Near Me - Oviedo, Florida

Pappy's Patch U-pick is a hidden gem in Oviedo. They have some of the best strawberries around! If your goal is to simply pick some red and delicious strawberries, this is the place! Park in a dirt parking lot, grab a disposable container (small or large), pick your strawberries, and pay in cash (I believe you can pay credit card as well) at the small shack/trailer near the entrance. That's it! There are no tables, chairs, or shade, but at least there is a porta potty available. During the time of my visit in February 2020, the price was $3/lb. This place is no frills so they are able to keep the prices reasonable. Come to Pappy's during strawberry season (December-April) for some delicious strawberries! Follow them on Facebook to get the latest updates on their schedule. read more

Update: Pappy's has U-pick citrus now! We picked our own citrus and strawberries on Thursday at Pappy's Patch U-pick Strawberries (field B) in Oviedo. They had lemons, pink grapefruit, tangerines and honeybell oranges. We picked honeybell oranges and pink grapefruit. It smells so good in the citrus groves! I juiced them when I got home. It's delicious. read more

Winding roads will inevitably lead you to a large field where you'll be surrounded by lush greenery. As you walk up and down the aisle, the sun shines brightly on the ruby red jewels that taste so sweet and delicious, how could a strawberry possible taste this good? Can I tell you? Night and day difference between the strawberries you buy at the store and the ones you pick yourself at Pappy's. Not only do you have the satisfaction of picking the ones you choose, but the overall experience is relaxing and extremely enjoyable. You'll see lot's of families picking fruit together, taking pictures, enjoying the day (weather permitting). Always check their facebook page before heading out as they're very good about posting whether or not they will be open on that given day. Strawberries are $3 a pound, local raw honey is $10 (and worth it, trust me), they also have oranges and when the season arrives they'll have blueberries. read more

I have a very special place in my heart for this place because my children are in love with it... specifically my two year old. He LOVES picking (and eating!!) strawberries at the strawberry patch and as soon as they open for the season we go at least 8-10 times. There is something about these berries that are just... BETTER. Perhaps because you hand pick the best ones yourself or the fact that you get them straight from the source. It makes picking up the stuff in the plastic cartons at Publix beyond disappointing. Sorry but it's true. Prepare to become a berry snob after visiting here. When you arrive you can choose boxes or pints to fill up and then pay at this little stand at the end. That's it. There are no benches or tables or anything else (well, sometimes there a honey vendor). It's simplistic and yet it's a staple of Oviedo. Prices are 3.25 a lb but I usually add on extra for my little strawberry thief that eats as he picks. (see photos) They take cash and cards. Check their facebook page for their openings and picking times... it always changes. read more

The strawberries themselves are incredible but the inability to keep people updated on their hours is what drops their rating. Plus, for those of us who choose not to have Facebook accounts don't have the easiest of access to looking at their posts. It's a shame really. read more

Who knew something like this existed so close! I decided to take my family here on Friday to check it out. Parking is right in front of the strawberry patches. We each grabbed a small container (there were six of us) and headed on out! When we went, the fruits were somewhat picked over, but we were able to eventually fill our containers with beautiful red, sweet berries. We had a blast trying to find the biggest berry.. and even the "weirdest" looking one. The weather was perfect for this! Once we were done, we made our way to the register. I paid $23 for 6 filled containers. It is $3/pound. This is a great price for the berries plus a super fun experience! They were selling some fresh local honey, as well as bottles of water and lemonade. All in all, I would totally go again! read more

An amazing little hidden gem. Love FL! Loved taking my girl to pick the BEST tasting strawberries we didn't check and didn't realize that they were closing at one and we arrived at around 12:45 PM. Whoops. But the lady let us in and we quickly picked what we could. It worked out because it was way too hot to stay there any longer anyways. Either way, we will return! The strawberries were so beautiful looking. They looked fake like plastic! And they tasted amazing! Didn't last but a few hours at our house before they were gone! read more

Sweetest strawberries I've ever had! We had so much fun picking the perfect strawberries to take home. We were so proud of ourselves when they were not only gorgeous but super delicious! Definitely a perfect girls day or family activity! I will be going back for more! read more

Pappy's Patch U-Pick Strawberries - Strawberry - Pick Your Own Farms Near Me - Oviedo, Florida

Strawberry season is here! Yippeee! After a few months of the 'brutal' Florida weather (um yeah...), Pappy's Patch has reopened its sweet gates to strawberry picking! On this cold day (OK, now i'm serious - it was chilly!), we ventured out to the patch. I'm not sure how big an acre or two but I'll estimate that its about that size. There are rows and rows of strawberries plants for the gather to choose from. No one has to fight over which row because just mosey on down to the next one. The steps to start your picking is pretty simple - go to the truck, get a pint or a tray if you want a lot of strawberries from those nice ladies, and your hands are your tools. A few tips for your purse: bring cash (no money no fruit!), wear sneakers bc its sandy there, bring some shades to block the floridian sun & check out their FB page for when they are opened because you don't want to waste a trip out there to find out that they are out of strawberries for the day. Also, don't fret - non strawberry loves - later in the year they'll have blueberries too. Don't like blueberries either? Keep an eye out on their site and sometimes they sell other plants that may be to your liking. CLOSE ON MONDAYS - ALWAYS.... read more

The strawberry field was an easy location to drive towards. Dont park outside of the gates. They have certain times where they will be open. Just get there early. This is my first time in the strawberry fields. It was really exciting to pick them fresh. Try not to be tempted to eat the strawberries while picking em! They smell delicious. The field is wide and everyone can have their own row. Their strawberries are really sweet. $2.75 a pound! Even publix cant beat that price, theyre usually $2.99 when its on sale at peak season. With this, you can have a cute little adventure or simply family time. My boyfriend and I really enjoyed walking through the field looking at little children and their parents being so excited to find a luxious crimson ripe berry. I noticed they were also selling blueberry plants for $40. When it is peak season for blueberries, which is around june, they have blueberries for $3.75 a pound. I love this place and i cant wait to take my mom for the next trip! read more

First time out to Pappy's and had a great time with the family. The owners are as nice as they come and it was great spending money where you knew it was appreciated. The hours are slightly limited but being family run I can understand and although they were limited they were very convenient. The prices were great as long as you do not mind getting a little dirty and sweaty. Plus it is all you can eat for free while you are picking :) If you are picker - check them out. If you are not, give it a try! read more

Great activity for family with toddlers. I saw many dancing children in the aisles, and the strawberries were delicious. We were told about this place from at least two different friends when we moved to the Orlando area, and can concur that you should make an annual trip. They are apparently having a banner year b/c of the heat and relative lack of rain. The pictures shown are pretty accurate to what you will see at the place. Friendly workers and other happy pickers are a plus. read more

Very cute experience! Thank you :) And the strawberries were incredibly juicy. We got a lot for our money.

Oh, Pappy's... I miss you so much. You even inspired my Yelp picture! When I lived in Orlando, I loved visiting Pappy's. The folks are so friendly and the berries are absolutely delicious. So flavorful and juicy! They are the perfect base for jams and chocolate covered strawberries. We introduced several friends and family members to Pappy's and they all agreed that Pappy's has some of the best berries out there... and it's rewarding to pick them yourself! I don't have any, but I'm sure this would be the perfect outing for youngins. Just make sure you check the hours/season on Facebook or give them a ring so you don't show up when they are closed. read more

Always had great memories at Pappy's growing up. Tried visiting recently and arrived 20 minutes before closing. After exiting the car, we were greeted with a very aggressive and nasty tone of a young woman, saying they close in 5 minutes and "Friday morning", assuming that's referring to the next time they'll be open. read more

I absolutely loved this place. I took my 4 year old son yesterday and he had so much fun. It is very nicely priced as well at $2.50/pound. I bought right around 3 pounds and for about an hour of fun with my little one, it was so worth it. The lady at the truck was very friendly, not sure if she's the owner, but she was very nice. She told us exactly what to do as we've never done it before and even told us where to go to find the best ones. This place is huge. No one seemed to be fighting over what row to go on. There were plenty of rows for everything. I follow them on FB and it does seem a little confusing about when they are open and when they are closed but I can't fault them for that. They have to rely on when the berries will be ready and at their best so the people that complain about that make no sense to me. I'm eating the strawberries now and they are absolutely amazing. i'm in heaven and I will definitely be back way more often! Oh yeah, make sure you wear tennis shoes. I made the mistake of wearing sandals. It wasn't too bad but I wish I would have wore real shoes! read more

I've always wanted to pick my own strawberries and this was a fun experience. They usually open their field from 9-12 and that's always a bad time for me but today they extended till 4. The berries that I picked were bright red and juicy. Did I mention it's only $2.50 a pound? Can't wait to pick some blueberries, which will be ready in a couple of weeks! read more

we love coming out here, have been doing it for years. Fun time for the whole family and the berries are amazing. My tip to you is to check out their facebook page which will tell you if they're open or not on a particular day. If not, you should call before heading out-they have a recording. They're only open when there are ripe berries to be picked. I'm pretty sure they are cash and check only, no credit cards. read more

Family friendly farm serving up delicious local berries. Perfect for a morning trip to pick your own fresh fruit! Get there early, get a carton(or two!) and fill them up! Then head over to check out where you are priced by the pound. There are also different flavors of local honeys for sale. read more

Hi Everyone. My name is Lindy and I am the field manager at Pappys Patch. Thank you all for your great reviews! Yelp does not provide our correct address and I have submitted a request to have it changed. The correct address is 700 Florida Ave. Oviedo Fl 32765. Please visit our FB page Pappys Patch (official site) for dates and times. Thank you! read more

I take my young one to pappy's patch all the time. This is a great family run farm where you can walk the fields and pick your own strawberries or blueberries (depending on the time of year). The fun part is hunting for that big strawberry while you sneak a taste or two walking through the fields. you basket will fill up fast and before you know it you will have more berries than you need, but get them anyway! Berries are good for you. I will say that traffic can get a bit hectic on busy days but they do a decent job getting everyone in and out. Keep up to date with openings and times on their face book page. read more

Great strawberries and fun to pick. Only problem was with the customer service when going to pay. My brother had picked up a small flower that he found on the floor and put it in our box and when arriving to checkout almost got scolded in such a rude way for having it then when we went to explain she picked up a berry that had a stem and said it's a waste to pick them like this because we're ruining the whole crop and threw it back in the bin when we only had 2 or 3 like that and that's how it pulled off. We bought 6 lbs but she rushed us through just so she could take a picture of someone with a much larger quantity. It was disappointing and ruined the whole experience for my family. I asked around before going and all my friends and family said they've had similar negative customer service experience which is sad. read more

I took my toddler and met some friends for the morning to pick strawberries and we had a great time. It is very modestly priced $2.50/pound, if I remember correctly. Apparently the berries are not completely organic (they use some mild pesticides), but they are non-GMO. The berries are so sweet and juicy. We ate our two pounds within a day. I can't wait to go back and take my four year old! read more

This is a great place! It can get a bit crowded so get there early. Also follow them on Facebook and they'll post their hours and when they close. read more

So my family and I visited Pappy this past Wednesday and I was very disappointed not at the berries but at Pappy, so as I am walking along with my 18 month old kid Pappy is watching me from his tractor and all of a sudden he comes running over and says "I saw you eat some berries, you need to pay for them first before you eat them" then my little 18 month old pulled one and he was upset about that as well, so I was unaware you could not do that, as a u-pick place you have to expect sampling and if that is pappy's policy then you should have a sign just like you have a sign for people not to step on the plastic so people know what the rules are but you didn't have a sign so it couldn't be that important to you because the other 30 people there were doing the same thing picking and sampling, but what upsets me more is that out of everyone doing the same thing I was he picks the only brown none white person to accost in front of my wife and kids about eating a few berries I can only think that he did this because I am not white like all the other people or maybe because he saw my wife's head scarf and he doesn't like Muslims I don't know but that is how he made me feel, he made me feel unwelcomed and like I was stealing from him to think I was going to spend $500 and buy some plants from him. So if your white you will be ok but if you are not then I suggest you don't go too Pappy's because he is a bitter old man stuck in the 50's, but the lady running the both is very nice and helpful and i think she has realistic expectations unlike Pappy. All though they only have 4 rows of blueberry plants. I would suggest Beck Brothers blueberries U-Pick they have 40 rows of blueberries and are half the cost of Pappy. read more
