Spending the day on a picturesque farm, picking fresh fruit may sound like something from a dream but it’s actually a reality at Cedar Hill Farm. The sprawling farm offers visitors the chance to pick their own blueberries and blackberries. That’s not all it has to offer, though. There’s also a produce stand packed with pre-picked fruit as well as a variety of activities and events throughout the year. With so much to offer, the farm is the perfect place to take the whole family on a day trip. Take a look:
Located in Hernando, Cedar Hill Farm is a family owned and operated farm with 120 acres of beautiful farmland.
In the summer, the farm opens its u-pick fields, which are brimming with juicy blackberries and sweet blueberries.
With over 600 blueberry bushes and 1,000 blackberry plants, pickers will surely be pleased with the abundance of berries!
Blackberries are available for pickin’ at the end of May until July 1st. Not only tasty, the blackberries have small seeds, which makes them perfect for use in jams and jellies.
Blueberry season begins just a couple of weeks later in June and lasts until July 1st.
When in season, the blackberry and blueberry fields are open Monday – Saturday from 8 a.m. – 4 p.m.
Not into picking your own berries? No problem; Cedar Hill Farm has a produce stand that sells pre-picked berries. You can also buy frozen berries, which are great for baking or over ice cream.
In addition to blueberries and blackberries, the produce stand, which is open June – July, sells plums and peaches.
Don’t want the farm fun to be over when the fruit pickin’ is? Luckily, it doesn’t have to be! Cedar Hill farm offers a variety of educational activities…
…and holiday-themed events throughout the year, so make sure to check their website or Facebook page prior to your visit.
