Ready to u-pick some Florida blueberries?

upick-image-9209194Wouldn’t it be nice to hand pick fresh blueberries. To walk through a blueberry field and pluck perfect berry after perfect berry? Guess what? You can!  Florida is home to many U-pick blueberry farms. Florida “pick your own” farms allow you to choose and pick your own berries. There are many reasons you’ll enjoy this fun outing.

Family Fun

The whole family can enjoy this fun outing. Enjoy an afternoon with the children, sharing how food grows, how it is harvested and how it grows.  Once they see where food comes from and enjoy harvesting it with their own hands, they might even drop some of the picky eating habits.

Support Local Farmers

Pick-your-own farms help foster a true sense of community.  From the hardworking hands of the farmer straight to your dinner plate, you quickly see how everyone helps bring fresh, locally-grown food to the community.

Going Green

When you visit a farm, you are saving the environment by eliminating the need to drive large trucks back and forth to sell produce. You also help farmers save fuel and wear and tear on farming equipment.

Ready to get picking?  Below is a list of currently open u-pick farms. Visit Florida Blueberry Growers for updated lists.
