Don't Forget the U-Pick Farm
Florida's strawberry season typically runs from December through March, ensuring pleasant weather for your visit. When you're ready to start picking, the farm's friendly crew will provide containers for your freshly picked strawberries.
The rows of strawberries come in different varieties and levels of sweetness, making it a delightful experience for everyone, including toddlers.
Blueberry picking becomes available in March and usually lasts until May.
While picking, don't forget to capture some photos or videos against the backdrop of the picturesque scenery. Once you've gathered your desired quantity, proceed to the checkout, where you'll be charged $4.95 per pound for the strawberries you've picked.
