How We Grow
Preserving biodiversity, growing organically, and best practice land management, have long been our passion since ‘Walking Lawton’ Chiles, former US Senator, and Florida Governor, owned these pristine woods and fields. His love for the land was instilled in his family, who were inspired by his environmental passion. Lawton Chiles’ son, Bud, and wife Kitty have managed Jubilee in state-leading environmental practices where they grow certified organic blueberries.
Jubilee Plantation and Orchards have received the highest distinctions for environmental stewardship and best farming practices.
It’s this passion that makes Jubilee an amazing experience and why we want to share it with everyone who visits. That’s why every Spring we welcome thousands of people for our U-Pick season and encourage people to enjoy the full experience of the plantation by staying overnight in two of our vintage cabins—hiking in the woods and enjoying the lakes. Also, enjoy our orchards while picking our luscious fruit with their families and friends.
U-Pick Fresh Organic Blueberries
There are many good reasons why thousands of families visit our organic orchards. They travel from as far away as Michigan because our blueberries are the Best of The South. Growing certified organic berries is no trivial matter. Jubilee Orchards makes this difficult and costly decision because we want our customers to be assured that their families are consuming the healthiest, most nutritious, and best tasting fruit possible. And because we are committed to climate smart growing practices that protect people, wildlife, our soil, and our air and water quality.
Importantly, picking berries at Jubilee is just a blast for all ages.
U-Pick cost is $10 per pound.
Thank you for making this year’s U-Pick Blueberry season a great success! We appreciate your support and enthusiasm. We are now closed for the season, but we look forward to seeing you next year for more blueberry picking fun.
