You can pick your friends, you can pick your strawberries... Can you pick your friends' strawberries? "No bending, no kneeling, all plants are at your natural level!" Dekker Family Farms is a two acre farm, with 100,000 plants growing vertically in our hydro-ponic growing systems. We grow a variety of strawberries, peppers, lettuces, spinach and much more. Our farm is unique to the area and a great destination to see first hand how a hydro-ponic farm operates. We offer a behind the scenes tour of our farm, which is geared to specific age groups, be it children or adults. Over the past 2 years we have had the privilege of working with a large number of schools, after school groups and garden groups, in Saint Lucie, Martin, Indian River and Palm Beach County. We are currently scheduling tours for schools, scout troops, and garden clubs that are looking for a fun, educational local attraction.
