Redland's Knaus Berry Farm Open For Business - Again!

Knaus Berry Farm in the Redland

Knaus Berry Farm opened up for the season in the Redland on November 13th. I stopped there that weekend (which, of course, means Saturday since they are closed on Sundays) and it was like they never closed.

The place was packed with cars. The line to get a milkshake was enough to make the Dairy Queen down the road green with envy.

I have to admit that I didn't bother buying anything. The line was too long and their baked goods are good but I can stop in during the week when it's less busy.

Knaus Berry Farm is often, and erroneously, referred to as "the Amish Farm." They're not Amish, they'll point out if you ask. They're German Brethren. They've been here for years and are quite the attraction. They sell homebaked goods as well as produce and their milkshakes are thick enough to stand a spoon up in (and you may want to use a spoon to get them going and save your facial muscles the workout).

They are open for business mid November to right before Easter and then leave us until the next year (notice a trend? They like to miss hurricane season. lol) They are closed on Sundays.

Sounds like our Farmers Markets.  I absolutely love them. They are seasonal, charming and tasty.

I would die for some fresh berries right now.

Perhaps I need to become a snowbird, and head to Florida in the winter....

Maggie - Sounds like a great business.  If you can stay closed for that many months every year and have a full parking lot the day you re-open, you've definitely hit paydirt.  Thanks for sharing...now send me a milkshake!

Maggie, sounds like the place to go for a milkshake.  But I don't blame you for not wanting to wait in a long line like that.

Hi Maggie,

I just love places like this...so different from the "formula" chain stores we find so often. The name sort of sounds like Knott's Berry Farm that we have nearby in So.Cal. It was a small berry farm itself in the 50's, now it's a huge amusement park.

Hello Friends!  Thanks for stopping by and commenting.  This place has such a following here that people come from "the city" to check it out.  Lynda - I always think about that, believe it or not.  I doubt Knaus will ever follow Knott's lead but they do make a mean milkshake!  LOL

Yummmm.

 Some members of their family go to my church. It's awesome to look around and see such a diverse South Florida crowd that includes them.

Chris, they've been regulars in our area for at least 2 decades now, perhaps more.  Their place certainly has gathered quite the following.
