SunKissed Acres Farm stands as a beloved family-owned agricultural destination nestled in the scenic countryside of Morriston, Florida, offering authentic farm experiences that connect visitors with the land, seasonal rhythms, and agricultural traditions that define rural North Central Florida. Located at 14423 NW Highway 464, this charming working farm provides families, school groups, and agritourism enthusiasts with hands-on opportunities to experience sustainable farming practices while enjoying the simple pleasures of harvesting fresh produce directly from the fields where it grows under Florida's abundant sunshine. Seasonal u-pick operations showcase the natural bounty of Central Florida agriculture through carefully cultivated strawberry and blueberry fields that invite visitors to experience the satisfaction of harvesting their own fresh fruit while learning about sustainable farming practices and seasonal growing cycles. The strawberry season typically begins in late winter and extends through early spring, offering families the chance to gather sweet, sun-ripened berries while enjoying the crisp morning air and scenic farm landscapes that provide perfect backdrops for creating lasting memories. Blueberry harvesting extends the u-pick season into late spring and early summer, when the farm's blueberry bushes produce an abundance of antioxidant-rich fruit that visitors can gather while learning about the patient cultivation required to nurture these valuable crops from planting through harvest. The u-pick experience teaches children and adults alike about where food comes from while providing wholesome outdoor activity that connects families with agricultural heritage and seasonal eating traditions. Diverse seasonal produce offerings ensure that SunKissed Acres Farm provides year-round agricultural education and fresh food access through carefully planned crop rotations that might include tomatoes, peppers, squash, and other vegetables that thrive in North Central Florida's favorable growing conditions. These diverse plantings demonstrate sustainable farming principles while providing visitors with opportunities to harvest a variety of fresh vegetables that showcase the region's agricultural potential. Educational farm tours provide structured learning experiences for school groups, homeschool families, and curious visitors seeking to understand modern farming practices, sustainable agriculture, and the journey from seed to harvest that brings food to our tables. These guided tours offer age-appropriate information about plant biology, soil health, irrigation systems, pest management, and harvesting techniques while encouraging environmental stewardship and appreciation for the hard work required to produce the food we enjoy daily. Interactive educational programs enhance the farm experience through hands-on activities that might include planting demonstrations, composting workshops, animal care instruction, and seasonal craft activities that help children understand the connections between farming, environmental stewardship, and healthy living. These programs provide valuable outdoor education that complements classroom learning while fostering respect for agriculture and rural life. Charming country store serves as the farm's retail hub, offering freshly harvested produce, seasonal preserves, locally-made goods, and farm-related merchandise that allows visitors to take home a piece of their agricultural experience while supporting local farming operations. The store provides convenient access to farm-fresh products for those unable to participate in u-pick activities while showcasing the quality and flavor advantages of locally-grown produce. Family-friendly atmosphere ensures that visitors of all ages feel welcome and engaged through thoughtfully designed activities, safe walking paths, clean facilities, and knowledgeable staff who genuinely enjoy sharing their passion for farming with guests. The farm provides an ideal setting for family outings, birthday celebrations, field trips, and special events that create positive associations with agriculture and outdoor recreation.
