Comments about Pick your own farms in Florida

This page provides a detailed comments submitted by visitors to pick- your- own (PYO, U-pick, pick-it-yourself) farms in Florida.

In reading comments, whether they are positive or negative, bear in mind that everyone's experience varies.  We try to weed out emails which are clearly fakes or so extreme as to be implausible.  When we get negative feedback about a farm or orchard, we contact the farm, and provide them the comments (without any reference to the person who submitted them) to allow them to respond.  We then publish both the visitor's comments and the farm's response.

In the past several years, we can happily say that negative comments have been very rare.  the vast majority of people find the the trip to be immensely rewarding!


Oak Haven Farms in Lake County - 2005-03-28 - A friend recently introduced me to Oak Haven Farms in Lake County. It was a wonderful surprise. We went on Friday a couple of weeks ago and were so impressed we went back for their Family Days two days later. For their Family Days they had a rented Moon Walk Slide, zipline and hayrides for the kids as well as a cook-your-own hotdog area with an open fire. All of those things were special for the Family Days but they always have a tire swing, playground and small store. Their strawberry fields were well maintained and they directed "pickers" in an orderly way so that it was easy to find good rows that weren't overpicked. Their picnic areas and restrooms were spotless. Everyone working there who we encountered was pleasant and gracious. Parking was close and plentiful.

This is the same type of  standard canner that my grandmother used to make everything from applesauce to jams and jellies to tomato and spaghetti sauce!. This complete kit includes everything you need and lasts for years: the canner, jar rack, jar grabber tongs, lid lifting wand, a plastic funnel, labels, bubble freer, and the bible of canning, the Ball Blue Book.

Remember to ALWAYS call the farm or orchard BEFORE you go - weather, heavy picking and business conditions can always affect their hours and crops!
