Strawberry Picking

Strawberry picking is always an awesome experience. Have you ever been? We are very lucky to live near a strawberry farm and always enjoy the U-pick harvest everytime we visit. I mean, how cool it is to pick your own strawberries!

Oak Haven Farms & Winery have the juiciest and sweetest strawberries you'll ever taste. The berries are always fresh, plump and more delicious than the ones you buy at grocery stores.

You will experience a great country feeling as you drive leading to the place. The farm is located on the gentle rolling hills of Sorrento, tucked in a small, unassuming dirt country road. 

Once you get to the place you will see an exquisite view of the farm with patches and patches of strawberries and the property is surrounded with green landscape of native Florida trees. It is a beautiful scenery to behold...a picturesque setting!

It is so amazing being surrounded with rows and rows of the bright red and juicy berries in the background while you are picking from your own assigned row.

 

  There will be strawberry pie, cake, shakes, and other strawberry-related recipes coming your way one of these days...so watch out for it!

 The farm also offer a variety of locally produced fruit and grape wines such as peach, blueberry and of course, strawberry wine. They have a little nook for wine tasting and for $1.00, you can try up to five wines. 

And oh, don't forget to check out their country kitchen! During the strawberry season (late December-late March), they offer U-roast hotdogs (yes, they have a firepit where you can roast your own hotdogs!), soda and chips, homemade milk shakes, icecream sundaes and their famous homestyle strawberry shortcakes. Also, they offer jellies, jams, sauces and other specialty items. Pretty cool, right?

It is always a pleasure going to this farm.You are not only paying for the fresh strawberries that you pick but also for the fun and enjoyable experience as well.

If you happen to be in Lake County (near Eustis/Mount Dora/Sorrento area) and want to experience pick-your-own strawberry when in season, take a quick trip to Oak Haven Farms & Winery. It is family friendly and a great place to visit with kids. They have hayrides, a playground area and a small zip line for the children to enjoy.
