Why Clermont is Home to Some of the Best Blueberry Picking in Florida!

The arrival of spring always brings back wonderful, fond memories of picking blueberries in the spring with my grandmother in beautiful Clermont, Florida back when I was knee-high to a grasshopper.

My style of picking was this, one for the basket, one in my mouth which ended in purple lips, matching stained fingers, and a smile across my beloved Nana’s face. Later, the delicious aroma of blueberry cobbler, perhaps pies, muffins, and other delectable treats were wafting throughout her house causing my little stomach to rumble with delight.

One of the best things about calling Clermont, Florida home is the opportunity to pick your own fresh & delicious blueberries! There are a few locations to choose from for a fun-filled day of enjoying the Florida sunshine, the gorgeous Clermont scenery, and the welcoming atmosphere of this loved Central Florida community. Here are some of the best places to pick blueberries:
