Employer Introduction

Welcome!

Southern Hill Farms is a family owned blueberry u-pick farm situated on 40 acres in Clermont, FL. Located just southwest of Orlando, the farm has one of many bustling crops being grown in Lake County. Farming in Central Florida has been a family tradition for 3 generations and we are honored to invite our neighbors to our beautiful 120 acre farm, 40 of which are planted with our blueberry bushes. Our blueberry farm is GAP Certified, which means that we hold ourselves to the most stringent food safety regulations in the world. We strive to produce the best tasting and freshest blueberries for our consumers, and we want to share our passion for quality, health and community with you.

The Blueberries

We currently have 11 varieties of blueberry bushes on our 40 acres that are all traditionally the best in Central Florida and are at their peak ripeness in April and May. All of these varieties offer different, distinct tastes and textures. In the spring of 2013 we harvested 100,000 pounds of blueberries and sold them all commercially to consumers all over the world. The spring of 2014 was our first harvest in which we invited the public to pick our blueberries in conjunction with commercially harvesting the berries.
