My children and I met with up with our fabulous friends yesterday for our annual tradition of strawberry picking at an organic strawberry farm in Dover, FL. The experience was perfect with a backdrop of horses eating strawberries out of the kid's hands and dogs running around frolicking with the children. Moms and dads were busying themselves with picking strawberries in the field, complete with sunhats and glasses. Toddlers were running up and down the strawberry rows with red strawberry juices dripping down their chins and onto their shirts.
We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at Jordan Farms. The owners are friendly and have now expanded to include numerous vegetables as well. The organic vegetables included corn, broccoli, green beans, beets, cabbage, lettuces, squash, cucumbers and herbs. All the vegetables were u-pick except for the squash and cucumbers, which had vines that could easily be trampled upon by feet. The neighboring farm had blueberries for sale as well at the trailer upon checking out.
The Tampa Tribune published an article recently about Jordan Farms. If you are interested in experiencing the joy of organic strawberries that you picked yourself, go visit Jordan Farms. Call the owners and see how the berries are doing before you go:

We are thoroughly devouring our strawberries, blueberries, cucumbers, lettuces, cabbage, green beans, radishes and broccoli flowers. I made a beautiful salad last night and packed the kids fresh picked berries in their lunches. When I met my children for lunch at school today, my daughter proudly displayed her berries that she and her family picked to her friends. The smile on her face said it all!
Here's to your continued health and happiness!
