I live near the “Strawberry Capital of the World”, Plant City FL! Every year it is so much fun to take the kids Berry Picking! Friends of mine, Charlie and Nancy Young, have a few Strawberry fields and they have an abundance of organic and non-organic strawberries, so they have graciously opened up the farm again to allow us to come on out and U-Pick them!!

This field is located on the corner of SR 39 and Hwy 60 in Plant City. It is a 60 acre field, so there is an abundance of berries! U-Pick is on Friday, 3/29 and Sat 3/30 from 9:00am – 2:00pm.
Each field also has Strawberry Onions! Those are my families absolute fave!
These berries are SO sweet…my grandfather used to drive down here (over 1,000 miles) from Delaware just to bring berries back to his friends! You're gonna love 'em!
Worried about picking too many? I'll be putting out a tutorial on an easy way to “flash freeze” them and use them all year long!
~Happy Berry Picking!
