Florida field guide
Crop availability matters more than the calendar
Florida’s long growing season creates opportunities to pick something during much of the year, but no field stays open continuously. A farm may close for several days after a busy weekend, reopen when another block ripens, or change crops with little notice.
These farms advertise pick-your-own crops through their own working websites. Information was checked September 21, 2026. Always review the farm’s latest crop report, hours, container rules, admission, and payment policy before traveling.

Protect the crop
U-pick field etiquette
Use the assigned rows
Staff may rotate visitors between sections so unripe fruit has time to mature.
Pick only ripe crops
Ask for a quick demonstration when color, firmness, or harvesting technique is unfamiliar.
Follow container rules
Some farms supply bags or buckets, while others require an approved container or charge by weight.
Supervise children
Keep children on paths and prevent pulling plants, climbing trees, or dropping harvested produce.
Prepare for the rows
What to wear to a U-pick farm
Closed, washable shoes
Rows may be sandy, muddy, mulched, or covered with irrigation lines.
Lightweight sun protection
Wear a hat and breathable clothing, and bring sunscreen and drinking water.
Long sleeves when needed
Light sleeves help around blackberry canes, insects, and strong sun without adding heavy layers.
Clothes that can stain
Berry juice, tomato vines, soil, and flower pollen can mark fabric.
Before leaving home
Florida U-pick farm FAQ
Do U-pick farms keep regular hours?
Not always. Many farms open only when enough ripe crops are available and may close early after a busy morning. Same-day field updates are more reliable than general seasonal hours.
When is strawberry picking season in Florida?
Strawberry fields commonly open from late fall or early winter into March or April. Exact timing differs by farm, weather, and crop variety.
When can families pick blueberries?
Florida blueberry picking generally falls between March and May. Southern farms may begin earlier, while northern and central farms can continue later into spring.
Can visitors pick citrus from trees?
Yes, at participating groves during harvest months. Each grove controls which blocks and cultivars are open, and fruit availability changes throughout the season.
Should I bring my own containers?
Check first. Some farms supply required bags, buckets, or baskets; others allow personal containers after weighing them or sell containers at check-in.
Are U-pick fields stroller accessible?
Some farms maintain wide, groomed rows, but soft sand, mud, plant beds, and irrigation equipment can make small wheels difficult. Ask the farm about current field conditions.
