Back in 1999 and 2000 when they were building the western expressway in Apopka, there were many orange groves. It was illegal to pick from the trees directly, my dad and I had always taken the ones that fell on the ground and still fresh. He used to drive his work truck through that area every day back then

I doubt there are many (if any) groves left around there since that highway was built. Far western Orange County is still pretty undeveloped and there may be some orange groves there. A lot of groves have been lost in the past few years though due to citrus canker

There are still some U-Pick places in Lake County, one of the best known is in very southern Lake County on Route 27 (northbound side) a mile or two north of 192.

There is also a U-Pick blueberry place on Route 561 between Route 27 and Astatula--closer to Route 27.

That is very nice of you! We have picked at Showcase of Citrus. On 27, just a little north of 192 as you head toward Clermont. It was really fun. Grammy
