Note about strawberries in
Florida:
There are a few strawberry u-pick farms in Florida open
during the entire season, which lasts from December through April). Most
commercial farms do not open their fields to the general public until the end of
the season, which is usually in April (depending on the weather).
NOTE: The exit numbers on the
Interstates have changed, but we have no way of knowing what the new correct
exit numbers are until the farmers correct their listings; so be sure to ask
when you call the farms!

Comment from a visitor, November 6, 2007: ". Beautiful
crops to pick, would go back again. If you love tomatoes as I do try the
little yellow ones (pear) - very sweet, low acid. In the farm stand they had
loads of fruits, vegetables. I found the owner and employees very helpful
and cordial. Friendly like Florida use to be 15 years ago. Do wear old shoes
and clothes. I know kids would love it, especially during Strawberry picking
(December)...Great choice of veggies and prices...I will go back, to me it
was worth the 48 mile drive. For you older residents (as myself). I use to
pick his place when he was on Hyploxo Road in Lantana about 10 or more years
ago with same name D&D Farms...same owner, same great prices and

have a blog post that reviews this farm.
Click here! "
Feedback from a visitor, February 18, 2008: "This is such a
wonderful treat to have new to Palm Beach county! Though small, this u-pick
is convenient and has very friendly staff. Finding it is somewhat deceiving
because the u-pick is entered through the store front of a strip mall. There
is also a farm stand a couple hundred feet north on Military trail called
The Boys Farmstand. Enjoy!"
