As with any farm visit, it is always a good idea to contact the farm before driving if you want something specific to insure it is available that day, or if the weather may cause the farm to need to close for the day. Mother Nature is in charge of all farm activities and each of these places want you to have a good time when you visit.

Dogs and pets are not allowed on u-pick farms per USDA regulations, so please leave your pets at home.

Masaryktown is a unique place in Florida’s Nature Coast, with its cooperative history and its Slovak roots. It’s farm and family-friendly environment are strong. It is still a wonderful community with much to offer.

Even on this cloudy day last weekend there was a lot of brightness 🌻

We took a trip to sweetfieldsfarm & loved walking through the sunflower fields in our matching tote & hat ✨

#sunflowers #outdoorsphotography #floridabloggers #sweetfieldsfarm #noemiriveratravel #travelblog #brooksville

We recommend choosing one of our NatureCoaster partner blueberry farms. Prices on the farm are much better than the stores, and they are priced per pound or bucket – not pint!

Some of these farms also offer u-pick strawberries and blackberries, which can overlap the blueberry season – or not. Ask the farmer.

Each location is unique and offers its own experience.

Bette’s Blues Blueberry Farm – Citrus Springs
Cavallo Farm & Market – Lecanto
Green Acres You Pick Blueberry Farm – Spring Hill
JG Ranch – Brooksville
Starkey Farms – New Port Richey
Upicktopia – Masaryktown

Posted withregram • loftfivenineteenphotography_ Still obsessing over this magical session ✨

I have been told by so many people lately I need to buckle down, be very specific on what I shoot and post. To choose one category and share that on socials only. While I do LOVE all things motherhood, and that’s what I am mostly doing and feeling right now, I’m an artist and shoot all kinds of things. I feel like if I LOVE it I’m going to share it. This is prob not a great business strategy I’m sure lol but I hate rules, and I do what I want 😝

“Local producers needed more customers,” Defelice said. He stated consumers also needed help because in 2017 some 40 percent of county residents were below the poverty level and 26 percent received food assistance.

This demand triggered the location of the Hernando County Growers Association, Inc. (hernandogrowers.org) to the Little Rock Cannery at 15487 Citrus Way northwest of Brooksville at U.S. Route 98. A non-profit, all-volunteer growers cooperative, this group tackled two enterprises, the Little Rock Cannery and the Brooksville Farmers Market.

Defelice admits that when he bought his farm, “I couldn’t grow weeds in my yard, so I picked a lot of brains and talked to people.” One of them was Director Stacy Strickland of the University of Florida, Institute of Agricultural Sciences Extension; another was Director Mike Walker of the Brooksville Parks and Recreation Department, who invited Defelice to take part in the Brooksville Farmers Market.

He also made a vital volunteer contact in 2018 named Angela Okrasinski, who has worked shoulder-to-shoulder with Defelice on bringing their shared vision to fruition: Bringing local fresh food producers and consumers together so that area residents could eat better and farmers could develop more markets for their goods.

Okrasinski owns a local farm that includes fruit trees and chickens. At the time she met Defelice three years ago she was involved in Hernando’s Farmers Market, where she served as the volunteer vendor manager. In that capacity she had meetings with local groups that aimed to expand the customer base and network growers with area restaurants.

Children love picking blueberries with their friends and family! There is plenty of space and they can contribute to the team bucket! As a bonus, they will learn that their food comes from a farm. Image courtesy of Cavallo Farm and Market.
And there are many living creatures to be found on a blueberry farm: butterflies, birds, bunnies, and bees all love a blueberry farm.

Families have a blast picking together! Children can pick the lower branches, run to their hearts content, and contribute to a bucket of healthy goodness.

Some farms encourage you to bring a picnic, some have farm animals and play areas, and some are simply fields of berry bushes in long, neat rows where the children can learn how their food is grown in Nature’s classroom.

Picking blueberries throughout Florida’s Nature Coast is one of my favorite things to do. I look forward to April when the season starts and will go on multiple picking adventures at different farms through late May. I like to get out the first week to fill a bucket, which holds five to seven pounds.

Something about the open farmland, long rows of fruitful bushes, and leisure activity makes me happy.

Freshly picked blueberries taste a lot better than the store-bought ones. They are larger and keep a long time in the refrigerator. I give some to the neighbors, some to my friends, and I eat A LOT of blueberries while picking because they taste so good.
