Strawberry Weekend
2/20/2017
Happy Monday friends! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! It's strawberry season here in Florida and I had a major craving over the weekend. When I was younger I spent every summer in Bar Harbor, Maine with my grandparents who had a farm and some of my earliest memories are of strawberry picking with my grandfather. When I found out we had local pick-your-own farms here in Orlando I knew I had to go check it out.
U-Pick farms are a fun, free thing to do around Orlando and if you love berries, there's no better place to find the freshest and best! Why spend time in the grocery store trying to find the best container when you can pick your own? Saturday morning we headed out to Pappy's Patch U-Pick Strawberries in Oviedo to see what we could find. It was surprisingly busy for 10 am but the field is large enough where there were plenty of places that you could pick without running into other people and there were definitely plenty of strawberries to go around. You have the option of picking a 10 lb box or you can choose smaller containers that hold about 1 1/2 lbs each. We filled up 3 of the smaller containers with gorgeous, delicious strawberries in under 20 minutes, and I have plenty to make strawberry shortcake with! It was definitely a great way to spend a Saturday morning and you can't beat free entertainment! It definitely made me miss my grandparents but I loved getting to relive those memories of when I used to go picking with them and making new memories. So if you're looking for free things to do in Orlando I'd definitely recommend stopping at one of our U-Pick farms!

I really miss going to Upick farms in calfornia. We lived right next to one off the beach and it was so fun to go to. We definitely don't have that in Texas! Hope you have a great week!

Could you be any cuter?? You look adorable friend! Love that top!
ReplyDeleteThose strawberries look so good!! I miss being in areas where you could easily find such fresh produce!! Love that top on you, too!
ReplyDeleteU-pick farms are the best! It's way more fun to do that rather than just pick something up at the grocery store. We haven't been to one in awhile but we do have a family farm that we get to go pick some veggies from in the summer. Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteLove picking! This is such a fun thing to do and it's so quick and easy! I swear anything hand picked tastes 58394038 times better than store bought!
ReplyDeleteLove your cute top! It's perfect for a fun day out. I haven't been strawberry picking in years, so fun!!

ReplyDeleteI can't believe it's already strawberry season in Florida!! I remember I used to have to wait until June in Rhode Island, but I bet it'll be only another month or so until it hits SC. The berries you picked look delicious, and they're huge for u pick!

You got so many great pictures! I love strawberries, but we rarely buy them-- even in the summer because they never seem very fresh from the store, so being able to pick them would be so awesome!
ReplyDeletethose strawberries look extra delicious!
