Sweet Serenity: The Joy of Pick-Your-Own Strawberries at Berry Sweet Acres

Season ends when the weather gets hot, usually around April. Now is the perfect time to take a trip.

It’s February in Florida, the weather is nice and cool, a perfect time to go pick your strawberries. Plant City, Florida is know as the Winter Strawberry Capital of the World. Surprisingly, many people assume that strawberries are a summer crop, but in reality, they thrive in the cooler temperatures of winter. Sweet Berry Acres is a great place to pick your strawberries.

Sweet Berry Acres provides free 1 and 2-pound size containers for visitors to fill to their heart's content. We selected 2 2lb containers. Rows of strawberry plants stretched out before us, and it didn't take long to fill the 2 pound containers. The plants were lush green adorned with plenty of berries. What a lovely sight. It was a wonderful way to spend time as a family.

But the experience doesn't end there. After filling your basket to your heart's content, you can head over to the charming farm stand, where you'll find an array of jams, preserves and decadent desserts like strawberry shortcake, there's something to satisfy every craving.
