Amber Brooke Farms (formerly Atwood Family Farm) is a gorgeous u-pick farm in Eustis, FL. The new name honors the wives of the farmers to emphasize the family aspect of the farm. Amber Brooke Farm offers blueberry, strawberry and sunflower picking. Admission to the farm is free but many of the activities and u-pick is an additional fee. They only accept major credit cards, no cash. Throughout the year, they offer seasonal activities for the whole family to enjoy. Seasonal festivities include a Fall Festival, Christmas at the Farm, a weekend to visit Santa, and opening weekend fun for blueberry and strawberry season.. and much more!

When I was younger, we would pick strawberries at least once a summer, so our afternoon on the farm was so nostalgic for me and I loved being able to experience that with my daughters.

We went to Amber Brooke Farm for opening of their strawberry season which is just before Christmas and they had the cutest set ups for family photos.

We took a tractor tour of Amber Brooke Farm to see the sunflower, strawberry and blueberry fields. Depending on what is in season, any of their berries and flowers are available to be picked by you and your family.

The berries we picked were huge, juicy and so flavorful! We ate our entire clamshell of berries in less than 24 hours!

Amber Brooke Farm also has fun space for your kids to run, jump, play and explore beyond picking fruit and flowers. The gem mine is a fun space for kids to mine for treasures for an additional cost. My girls (and husband) could have gone down the big slide all afternoon.

The Amber Brooke Trading Co Store is also full of wines, fudge, toys, jams, jellies and the farm logo embroidered clothing items.

Amber Brooke Farm also has a couple of food trucks by the store so that you can enjoy some food and drink while you’re on the farm. My girls highly recommend the strawberry slushies – and the fact that fresh picked strawberries are used to make them makes the experience all that more special.
