Strawberry Picking at Upicktopia

Today, our homeschool group went strawberry picking at Upicktopia in Masaryktown, FL. We've lived in this County for over 6 years now and I'm still finding these, out of the way, super cool places that I didn't know existed. We've been blueberry picking before and typically, these places sell other fruits/veggies as well, but this place was amazing! They have a crazy long list of fruits/veggies that they grow and sell on site. We walked through the rows of carrots, cabbage, broccoli and of course...strawberries. We didn't walk through the entire property, as some of the fruits/veggies aren't in season yet OR the recent rains had not been good to them. Upicktopia has quite the selection, if anyone wants to check them out.

The blueberries weren't ready for picking yet.

Nice sized chicken coop...about 2x the size of ours.

Actual strawberry picking in progress...

Helaina and Claudia with their baskets full of the tasty strawberries that they picked with their very own hands. Next week, they'll be making jam with some of these at Co-op. The rest will be used in our smoothies at home...Yum!!
