Jubilee Orchards and Plantation- Who we are

The Chiles are a well -known and respected Florida Family- Representing Six Generations of Florida leadership in government and community service, food excellence, and environmental stewardship.

Jubilee Orchards, a Red Hills pristine plantation, has a storied legacy deeply rooted in the State of Florida. Our farm was founded by former US Senator and Florida Governor ‘Walking Lawton’ Chiles.
Continuing his love of the land and environmental passion, our blueberry orchards are recognized by statewide farm organizations for outstanding environmental stewardship. It's so encouraging to us to hear so many fond reminiscences of his leadership made by the people who visit our orchards. My Brother Ed Chiles has created a premier group of restaurants all along the West Coast of Florida. He runs two farms featuring organic and sustainable agricultural practices. And he is a regional leader in eco-agricultural programs that impact the entire state.
From the outset, we desired to share Jubilee with the community. This conviction led us to develop orchards. And thoughtful research directed us to grow blueberries. We also strongly considered olive orchards and some other fruits. The amazing health, nutrition, taste and marketability of blueberries won us over.

The Jubilee Experience has become a tradition in North Florida. Thousands of people of all ages flock to our orchards each spring to enjoy picking our fruit and experiencing our natural wonders- vintage cabins to rent, lakes and creeks, serene hikes through pristine long leaf pine and live oak forests.
