SOUTHERN HILL FARMS TOUR

Monday, September 22 | 7:00 a.m.

Local blueberry farm, Southern Hill Farms began farming ornamental trees off Schofield Road at the start of the twenty-first century. Boasting some of the highest quality landscape trees in the state, they began planting the blueberry fields with their oldest son to diversify and utilize all available farmland in 2010. They commercially harvested the blueberries until 2014 when they decided to open the farm for their community to enjoy.

Southern Hill Farms has now become a destination within Clermont and the Greater Orlando area with a little elbow grease, tons of hard work and heaps of love, support, and encouragement from their neighbors. They now work alongside their family, and many others they consider family, at their beautiful farm off a little dirt road.

Attendees must travel on bus transportation provided by WIA. No exceptions. Additional registration of $30.
