*Closed toed shoes recommended. Fields can be wet/muddy. The farm is home to many critters, this includes ants.

*Sunscreen. Blueberries love the sun, there is no shade in the fields.

*Bug spray. As the temperature heats during the day and cools in the evening the more knats and mosquitos come out.

*WATER. Stay hydrated! Know your Limits! The Florida heat is no joke!

We grow both Southern highbush and Rabbiteye varieties.

Highbush blueberry fruits are usually larger, juicier, with a thinner skin. We call these our early season berries. Rabbiteyes are a little smaller, have tougher skin, a berry that “pops” in your mouth, and freezes beautifully! We call these our regular season berries, as these varieties make up most of the farm.

Both of these varieties produce well in warmer climates, and tolerate droughts well, however because Highbush varieties bloom earlier they are more susceptible to spring frost/freezes and require more attention and protection than Rabbiteyes.

-Start in the middle of the rows.

-Pick one bush at a time to fill your bucket faster!

-Look high, look low, and look inside the bush (most people pick at eye level on the outside of the bushes) Be sure to watch out for those natural pollinators with stingers.

-Ripe berries will thumb off easy! You shouldn’t have to pull hard.

-Blueberries do not ripen anymore after you pick them!!!

-usually the further you walk the more you find! Most people stop within the first few rows they see.

1. Do not leave trash in the fields.

   2. We are a smoke free property! Please do this before you arrive or after you leave the farm. Discarding cigarettes butts is not only harmful to the fields but also to the birds, and the small children out in the fields.

   3. No Pets. Unfortunately we had too many people abusing our pet policy, so we will NOT be allowing pets on site. Service Dogs are always permitted.

   4. No radios or speakers! Part of being on the farm is to enjoy the solitude of the outdoors and have conversation with friends and family. If you wish to listen to music, podcast, audio books, etc. we ask you to bring headphones so you are not disturbing others.

   5. No coolers in the field. Coolers to store your berries, or those who need snacks/drinks for kiddos, coolers must be kept in the vehicle. Parents, small lunch boxes are permitted in the field. Please pack your trash back out.

   6. No foul language. We kindly ask you to use respectful language. There are many young ears around and we ask you be respectful of that. Anyone excessively disrespecting this rule will be asked to leave the premise.

   7. We ask you watch where you step and where you pick. We are a farm and are at the mercy of nature. That means we have to share our space with all the critters. Ants, wasp, bees, snakes, spiders, knat, bugs, critters of all sorts are home to the outdoors. We do have a Benadryl spray and cream in our first aid kit if you happen to find one of those stingers. However, we ask if you are allergic to wasp/bees you do not visit the farm or understand/assume the risk and come prepared for your visit.

   8. Upon arrival do not stop at the stand. Slowly proceed following the parking signs that apply to your visit. After parking you may check in at the stand to get a basket.

   9. Do not block the driveway. Follow all traffic/parking signs, or ask a parking staff member (if applicable).

   10. When the thunder roars make your way back immediately to checkout. We always check any questionable weather and try to make the best decisions regarding opening, closing, rain delays, etc. If a staff member says we are closing for weather that means to make your way immediately. For your safety and the safety of our staff we want to get everyone out of the fields and off the premise as quickly as possible! Note. We rarely re-open after closing for weather, any weather closures or changes will be posted to Facebook as soon as possible.

   11. Do not take or cut any blueberry plants. Only pick the blueberries. If you see anyone disrespecting this rule please report them to a staff member.

   12. Most importantly Have Fun!
