All you can pick-tomatoes
Tomato u-pick is a fun way to stock up your pantry and belly on lucious ripe (or green tomatoes). Check out this place in South Florida. It is 710 U-pick off of highway 710 in Indiantown, Florida. It is 10 miles west of Indiantown and 16 miles east of Okeechobee. Keep your eyes peeled and GPS on to spot a small road side sign on the East side of the road. The building is not visible from the road either.
Produce is either pre-picked or U-pick. Tomato U-pick variety is "Florida 47", a juicy yet firm variety. Fill a 5-gallon bucket with tomatoes, eggplant or numerous varieties of peppers (mix and match) for $12! A 5-gallon bucket of tomatoes weighs approximately 30# when filled.
Other produce available to pick at a per pound price include kohlrabi, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli. In the stand there is rainbow chard, zucchini, yellow squash, yellow and red grape tomatoes, fresh black eyed peas. Bring a box or container to transport your produce home, or buy one for a dollar. Cash or check only- no wifi to run cards.
A great way to stock up on homemade tomato sauce and home canned tomatoes at a great price!
