Blueberry U-Pick Season

Picking blueberries at a local farm is way more fun than picking up a small plastic container of blueberries in the produce section of your local grocery store.

Central Florida’s Blueberry U-Pick Season

Of course Florida is known as one of the world’s leading citrus fruit providers, but we also have a lot of blueberry farms. U-pick blueberry season begins in March or April (depending on weather) and there’s probably a farm near you. Find the farm’s website or Facebook page to view their schedule; some farms are open six days a week while others are open one day a week.

Weather is a major factor, and affects the overall length of the season.

U-Pick Tips

Check the weather and plan accordingly. Bring water; wear sunscreen and a hat.
Bring cash.
Be sure to keep tabs on your children, and stay in designated areas.
Working farms are likely to have areas with unlevel paths, possible fire ants and other potential hazards. Wear closed toe shoes.
Follow instructions and only pick berries that are ripe and blue.
Thank the farm owner/employees for hosting your visit, then brag about your experience on social media.
