Strawberry season in Florida begins when in most other states the ground is either still frozen or covered by snow. However now, nearing the end of May, our strawberry season is also nearing it's end.  For a few more days, the U-Pick farms around Hernando County still offer the opportunity to pick your own strawberries fresh from the field.

This weekend, we went out to JG Ranch in Brooksville, Florida, and joined a dozen or so other patrons picking a few pounds of strawberries.

JG Ranch is located of Wiscon Road and they also offer seasonal fruit and vegetables such as Blueberries, tomatoes, beans, corn, and pretty soon a new variety of colored peppers.

There is nothing better than fresh produce and it's fun to be able to pick your own!

Hi Al and Peggy, it shouldn't be too long before you can enjoy fresh local ones, right?

Silvia, I have picked fresh vegetables and strawberries from my backyard, however not from the farm. There are no commercial farms in the Venice area.

Silvia this can be a fun family activity.   I love strawberries especially when they are freshly picked.   Recently I have been dipping them in chocolate

Silvia,

Strawberry picking was one of my favorite things to do when I lived in Maine for the summers. Right about now, I'd give anything to be picking strawberries again.

You make me crave strawberries!

Hi Silvia...Only a few pounds...ha. I bet you have eaten them all already, maybe before you were back home. Enjoy your strawberries.

Cheers

Silvia -- I love picking berries. Our strawberries are not in season until end of June so we have to wait.  Would love to taste some of your fresh picked ones. I really got into making strawberry pies last year. My family went nuts over them. Didn't last more than a day, though! Enjoy!!

Sylvia, I have never been up to the ranch but since the stawberries we are growing in the back yard are pretty much the size of peas I think we will ride up this weekend and get some fresh local berries.  Thank You for sharing.  Have a Wonderful (and DRY) weekend. ;)
