For strawberries and veggies, we're open everyday from 9-3. I am pretty sure that there are blueberries here too, but I think it's a different owner.
"Open for Upick
• Our hours are 8:30 am-3 pm daily.
• Our price is $1.50 per quart.
• Bring your own container (empty gallon jugs i.e. milk, etc.). Remember that berries are very fragile. If you pile many pounds in a large container, the bottom ones will be mush. Plastic grocery bags are not good containers.
• Cardboard strawberry flat boxes are available for $1 each. These boxes are stackable and hold approx. 8 lbs. each.
• If you have never pick strawberries before remember that you’re in Florida and the sun gets really hot. The best time for you and the berries is early morning. You should wear a hat and protect your skin with clothing and or suntan lotion. Bring and drink plenty of liquids.
• We can have berries picked for you, but ask us a day in advance. We don’t have refrigeration and want your strawberries to be fresh. $20/flat" 3/23/15 Stafford Blueberries 3111 John Moore Road, Brandon, FL 33511 Cell(813) 340-4382 (Doug), Home (813) 689-1574 (Joy) Facebook
