Moccasin Grove
Moccasin Grove
Moccasin Grove was established in 2021 by husband and wife, Ryan and Lizz Bass. The farm is located in Tallahassee, Florida down a long dirt road.
Ryan had some wild idea that he wanted to start a strawberry U-PICK farm on the family land. He had plenty of experience with farming and tractor work, so why the heck not give it a try!?
We are into year 3 (2024) of strawberry farming and have learned so much along the way. Not to mention we have met the nicest people during our open U-PICK, field trips with local schools and at the Tallahaseee Farmers Market.
With roughly 30 acres of farmable land, Moccasin Grove has about 600 peach trees (varying in age), in the spring we farm a few acres of the freshest vegetables around (sweet corn, tomatoes,peppers etc.), we have planted over 30,000 strawberry plants, along with a small plot of U-PICK flowers, and last but not least in the fall we have U-PICK pumpkins!
We get asked often if we see snakes (due to the name ‘Moccasin’), but we actually named our farm Moccasin Grove, due to the fact the farm is located off of Moccasin Gap rd., and we have a grove of peach trees and citrus trees!
Our goal is to both work full time on the farm to create a living for our family and do what we enjoy together!
