Southern Hill Farms

“🎃🌻 Southern Hill Farms was the fall experience Florida didn’t know it needed. Even though this is a late review, it was too good not to share. We rarely get a real “autumn moment” down here, so this felt like a full seasonal reset. It was perfect for all ages in my family, which is saying a lot. The pumpkin “patch” is more of a cute marketplace under a pavilion, with pumpkins in every shape and size and endless photo-op spots. The food pavilion? Dangerous in the best way. The apple cider donuts (I went classic sugar) and fresh cider were peak fall energy. And do not skip the pumpkin cookies—they’re elite. For the kids, there were rides, games, activities, and the sweetest little petting zoo. Pure joy. The sunflower field took a little walking since many had already been cut, but once you find them, it’s worth it. And just when we thought it couldn’t get more cozy, we saw bonfires with people roasting marshmallows before leaving. Everything was well-organized, festive, and totally worth the drive. If you’re craving fall vibes in Florida, this is where you go.”

“I visited Southern Hill Farms for the very first time back in 2020 during the peak COVID days with my family, and it was exactly the breath of fresh air we all needed! It was the perfect way for us to get out safely, enjoy some wide-open space together, and experience a bit of normalcy. The Highlights of Our Trip: The Flower Fields: Walking through the vibrant fields with my family was absolutely beautiful. The colors were stunning, and it provided the most incredible, picture-perfect backdrop for photos. The Apple Cider Donuts: You absolutely cannot leave the farm without trying these! I remember us treating ourselves to them, and they were incredibly fresh, perfectly spiced, and easily one of the best parts of the entire day. Even with the safety measures in place at the time, the atmosphere was incredibly welcoming, relaxing, and well-organized for groups. It made an amazing first impression on all of us, and it’s easy to see why this farm has become such a beloved local staple. Highly recommend making the trip out here with your loved ones!”

“What a great farm!! I'm not stranger to PYO fruit farms but this was my first blueberry outing and was so happy with this trip! We drove here from Tampa to pick blueberries and were surprised to see so many other fruit/vegetable PYO options. The blueberries were plentiful and delicious and pricing was good at $5/lb and no entry fee. The grounds itself were nice and I was delighted to see live music, covered seating areas with games, and food/beverage options available too. Plenty of signage and staff to help guide you. The carnival area looked fun but we purposely avoided that so I wasn't able to check it out so my kids didn't see. There is a TON of parking available in grass lots. I underestimated how large it would be! It was a convenient little stop before we went to Disney and will likely return if the berries are still there!”

“Great place to take the family for an easy, relaxing, and fun day. Seasonally you are able to pick fruits and vegetables. They have several food trucks and choicing of food, carnival rides for children, and live music. Plenty of space to sit and eat or relax, fires pits for cooler weather, and a train that will take you around the property. The service is wonderful and everyone is extremely friendly and helpful. What a great experience and fun day. I highly recommend planning a day to visit Southern Hill Farms. It is a great little get away, even for just the adults. It is far enough East of Orlando that you feel like you're out in the country, it not too far away to make it out of the way. Enjoy!!”

“Sweetest strawberry. Better than the Japanese oishii ones. You won't be disappointed. We met the owner last year and he saw us with five boxes of strawberry and came to gave is a ride with his golf cart. The employee are also really funny and friendly. There is place for kids, strawberry, peach, blackberry, veggies. And lots of seating and cooked food. They added trailer and cool train that takes you around.”

“We always love visiting the farm for fresh vegetables and fruit. It’s been amazing to watch this place grow through the years; it’s become such a beautiful place and I love bringing my kids year after year! Blueberries and peaches are our favorite things to pick.”

“Free entry, free parking, $5/lb blueberries but also fun when you've never been before. Go early, no shade while picking. Everyone was super friendly and at least the blueberries are eat while you pick - in moderation. It's on the website, I swear! Nice afternoon jaunt not far from parks if you're looking for a couple of hours away from the madness.”

“If you love picking strawberries, blueberries and sunflowers, this is the right place for you. Lots of parking and no entrance fee. Also has a mini kids park woth slides and a merry go round. Good day trip for the family”
