April 1, 2025 UPDATE: Depending on the weather, we are looking for a soft opening this weekend … will keep everyone posted. Had a bit of rain in the past 24 hours, but the rest of the week looks spot on for what we need — warm, sunny days.
And … We will have poundcake this year. Pre-order only. Working with Betty to see what her schedule is, but figure a couple of days out.
The season is just days away!
Please note: Some Google searches made from the Orlando area point to an address in Winter Park. That was the business office where we registered our business license — there is no blueberry farm in downtown Winter Park. We are located between Ocala and Gainesville off Highway 301. Google does get it wrong on the rare occasion.
For Google Maps GPS use, the city listed needs to be Island Grove, for other mapping and GPS, the address may show up as Hawthorne. The farm is actually in Island Grove off Highway 301 just down the road from where you turn off to Cross Creek, but different map systems approach the rural address differently.
The Google Map Address is
21209 U.S. 301, Island Grove, FL 32654
The Apple Maps Address is
21209 Sid Martin Hwy, Hawthorne, FL 32640
For Coordinates, use Lat: 29.459782, Lon: -82.10779100000002
All of these should take you to the same place, our U-Pick farm in Island Grove.
