Bellamy Grove

Its Tuesday, January 27th. The u-pick field at Bellamy Grove will be open DIFFERENT days this week. Because of the freezing temperatures this weekend, will be open THURSDAY,FRIDAY, ONLY January 29,30. Preparations need to be made for the cold weather. Hours are from 9-4. Surprisingly, there is a good supply of strawberries in the field to be picked with all the crazy weather we have been having. The price for u-pick is 3.50 a pound. Collard and kale are u-pick for 2.00 a pound. The citrus fruit available this week are hamlin oranges. They are 5.00 a quarter bushel. This will be the last week for oranges for the season. I'm running out, and it's just as well. If it gets as cold as they are predicting the oranges would freeze anyway. A few bell pepper are left for the season. They will be 3 for 2.00. Sweet onions are 2.00 each. And cabbage will be 3.00 each. All sales are cash only. The address for the field is 8400 E. Moccasin Slough Rd. Inverness, Fl. Just follow the signs to the back of the property where there is plenty of parking. Thanks,Chuck.

Good evening, it's Wednesday January 21st. The u-pick field at Bellamy Grove will be open this Friday,Saturday, and Sunday. January 23,24,25. From 9-4 each day. As you can imagine, there won't be as many strawberries this weekend because of the cold weather this past week . I got through with hardly any damage, but the ripening has slowed somewhat. But, there will be a fair amount for the weekend. The price is 3.50 a pound for u-pick. The oranges this week are honeybells and hamlin oranges. The honeybells are 18.00 a quarter bushel and the hamlins are 5.00 a quarter bushel. This will be the last weekend for the honeybells. The oranges are already picked and in bins at the stand. The collards, kale, and mustard greens are ready for u-pick, and are 2.00 a pound. The quality is starting to dip on the mustards, so this could be the last weekend for those. We still have plenty of sweet onions. Those are 2.00 each. And cabbage for 3.00 each. Bell peppers are 3 for 2.00. All sales are cash only. With no bad luck I should be open for another 8 weeks. The address for the field is 8400 E. Moccasin Slough Rd. Inverness, Fl. Just follow the signs to the back of the property where there is plenty of parking. Thanks, Chuck.

Good evening. This is my weekly update on the u-pick field at Bellamy Grove. We will be open this Friday,Saturday,Sunday. January 9,10,11. From 9-4 each day. The strawberries are starting to get a little more plentiful. Had minimal damage from the freeze last week. Only lost a few blooms here and there, but overall things are going in the right direction. The price for u-pick is 3.50 a pound. The greens are still going strong. Collard, kale, and mustard are u-pick for 2.00 a pound. The mustards will be the first to play out in a few weeks so keep that in mind if those are what you like. The oranges this week are honeybells and hamlins. The honeybells are 18.00 a quarter bushel and the hamlins are 5.00 a quarter bushel. They have already been picked and are in bins at the stand. We pick fresh oranges each week, but sometimes I have some left over from the previous week. So on the weekends I have those I will sell those at a discount price to move them out. The broccoli is coming to an end. Will probably only last for Fridays business day. I will have new vegetable varieties next week, and will have them in next weeks post. Bell peppers are at the stand, and are 75 cents each. A little key lime juice is still left. They are frozen and in 4oz containers. 4.00 each on those. All sales are cash only. The location for the field is 8400 E. Moccasin Slough Rd. Inverness, Fl. Just follow the signs to the back of the property where there is plenty of parking. Thanks, Chuck.
