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.
