I took my mom to Straughn Farms in Archer, FL for her very first berry-picking adventure, and it was amazing ! We decided to come as soon as they opened to beat the crowds and also to be there before the heat was too unbearable. At 8am I feel like it was the perfect time for us. One of my close friend's mom came here a weekend before and raved about this place so we decided to check it out for ourselves. There were about six different varieties of blueberries; Sentinel, Patrecia, Optimus, Keecrisp, Farthing, and Colossus, and honestly, they were some of the best berries I've ever tasted. We heard the pink berries were some of the sweetest, but I was on a mission to scoop up as many blueberries as I could, and boy, did we score! I picked a pound for just $5, and every berry was plump, fresh, and bursting with flavor. They also had a few raspberries growing in their greenhouse and a small strawberry field. Since it's off-season for strawberries, we didn't find too many ripe ones, but honestly, the experience was still perfect. The fields were well kept and easy to navigate. Plus, everyone we met was so friendly and helpful. If you're looking for a sweet and wholesome day trip, Straughn Farms is 100% worth it. We're already planning to come back, and next time, maybe snag some of those famous pink berries too! read more

This was a wonderful experience, and it was my first time in a place like this. My daughter took me, and it was wonderful to spend time here with her. There are many blueberry and raspberry bushes (these are found in a greenhouse). There were strawberries, but not many; they're not in season. They'll provide you with a small bucket right there, so you can add the fruit. Prices: Strawberries and blueberries $5 and raspberries $6 per pound. We arrived at 8 a.m., and I recommend that it's the best time to arrive as soon as they open, since there are few people and you can enjoy the experience more. They also have candles on sale. It's definitely a place I'd like to return to. read more

I live pretty close to this farm and wanted to check out their blueberry fields as it is season! When coming here they have alot of signage to let you know where they are located as they are on an extended part of Parker Road. Once you are settled, you can grab a bucket and start picking blueberries. I really like that it was a large amount of land and area to pick the berries from. The berries range from colossal size to mini, but they are very ripe. I also like how clean the farm was and it made for a great experience. The people at the checkout table are very helpful and nice. The blueberries were $5.99/lb. In addition to blueberries, they have strawberries and raspberries. Also, they were selling their farm's honey and honey candles. I will be back soon as they informed me they will be open for another 5 weeks. Their hours are Saturday and Sunday 8am - 4pm. Definitely support local businesses/farms where you can get QUALITY produce! read more

First time to pick here and it's the closest spot to our home so very convenient. So very well maintained plantings! Check out was smooth. Buckets provided and lined with plastic bags which made transport home easy. Big beautiful berries even in the last week of the season. Their season apparently starts in March so I'll have that on my calendar for next year. read more
