If you want it Lukas has or will get it. Prices are a little bit high but you get what you pay for and they have a guarantee if the plant dies.

We love Pappy's! We've been coming here for 10 years+. They have the most delectable strawberries and have recently started growing blueberries, too. Check out their Facebook page for hours. It's best to go in the middle of the season (mid Feb to late March) as there are lots of mature berries and not too much rot or bugs. $3.oo a pound for strawberries...cash or check only. They have take-home containers there. Great for families! Wear closed shoes. PortaPotty only.
5. Cross Seminole Trail

Reviewed By jennifercP6709MA
Build as a rail to trail, this is a paved trail through many sections of Seminole county. When connected it will eventually be 23 miles long but is currently several sections of trail of varying lengths. Depending on which section of trail you are on scenery changes from urban to more wooded. Great for walking, running, or biking. Can get busy on weekends.

This is a great place to be taken back in time. The large variety of vintage and antiques will remind you of the past. Besides the vintage and antique items there are many collectibles to choose from at the mall.

I love this place! It is family owned and operated. there are a variety of vendors set up selling there local made, raised or harvested products. Everything there comes from within a 40 mile radius. The petting farm was amazing! Very large and clean.We were even able to hold a baby goat! There are information plaques of all of the animals. There is a $2 admission for parking that goes toward the maintenance and upkeep of the animals which I am more than happy to pay. Or if you choose not to there is free parking across the road. Going back there for sure!

We went on an early morning hike and enjoyed that we could find shade for our walk. Be sure to bring your bug spray and sunblock though. You can pick up a map at the front entrance or find one on your cell phone. Be sure to bring some cash for a donation.
9. Barr Street Trailhead
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By FlaHarlock - Tavares, Florida
This trail starts at Barr St Trailhead in the Little Big Econ State Forest and is part of the Trailwalker Program. It is a 5.2 mile loop trail that follows the Florida Trail along the Econlockhatchee River and then loops back. The vistas overlooking the river are spectacular! Trail is nicely blazed and well maintained. This trailhead is very busy, especially on weekends. Come early. There are no amenities here so pack in what you need and don't forget to pack out. Let's keep Florida beautiful. Admission is $2 per car and you pay via Iron Ranger (exact change). The loop took about 2 hours to complete but I take a lot of photos. It's hard not to when you're surrounded by so much beauty. Worth a visit just for the serenity.
Highly recommended!
You can also take the Florida Trail south from this trailhead. This trail follows the Econlockhatchee River for another 2-3 miles and there's even a waterfall. Not very common in Florida.
