Wet Hammock (ecology)- Also known as Cabbage palm-live oak hammocks, or prairie hammocks, are a sub-type of mesic hammocks composed principally of live oak and cabbage palm trees. They occur in central and southern Florida in prairies and floodplains, on river levees, and on slopes between dry uplands and wetlands.
Help us celebrate 100 Years of Picking in 2018!
Yes it's true! Our family started farming here at our farm in Citra, FL after our great grandfather moved here from Lake County , FL in 1918 to revive abandoned orange groves from the 1880's (See The Story page).
Help us celebrate our history by bringing the family out for a day of picking this season. We offer Blueberries, Blackberries, Flowers and Peaches for U-Pick throughout the season as well as some other produce that we grow here in the 'Hammock! Sign up for updates below and/or 'Like' us on Facebook for the fastest way to get seasonal info on what we are picking that week!
Tell your friends! We couldn't bring our family's passion to your kitchen without the community support, which has been great! We advertise many ways, but word-of-mouth is definitely better than anything we could do! Please contact us for any questions or special accommodations.

U-Pick Blackberries- Getting ready for a good weekend!
Blackberry update 5/19/2018:
It looks like a good crop of blackberries this year! We may start to peak on blackberries next weekend or the weekend after- so the picking will get much better. We expect the season to end sometime in late June, but we will be updating throughout the season. Look for more updates on or Facebook page as the season gets closer!

Peach update 5/19/2018:
We expect the 26th to be our last day of peach picking as long at the weather cooperates. The fruit has been of exceptional quality this year! We hope to have even more in the future as we just planted a few more acres of peaches that should start bearing next year.

Flowers/produce update 5/19/18:
We will have potatoes available again this Saturday as well as beans and squash. Okra is a few weeks away. This rainy and cloudy weather has slowed the flowers down a bit so we are still behind where we would like to be on them.
