Knaus Berry Farm

In 1956, brothers Ray and Russell Knaus began raising strawberries together in the Redland of South Florida. They set up a small roadside stand near the current location to sell their berries. Some of their strawberries were sold through a broker who tasted the cookies made by Ray's wife, Barbara, and suggested they were good enough to sell. Over the years, the farm expanded its offerings to include assorted baked goods, vegetables, and ice cream.

The farm has diversified its products over the years, adding baked goods, vegetables, and ice cream to its original strawberry offerings. They also offer U-Pick strawberries and tomatoes, allowing customers to harvest their own produce when it is ripe.

The farm is known for its seasonal operation, opening every November through mid-April during the Redland farming season. It has become a local staple, with many considering the opening and closing of its bakery as markers of the seasons in South Florida. The farm store operates on a cash-only basis and is closed on Sundays, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas, and New Year's Day.
