Fresh and freeze-dried fruit, trees, cuttings, honey, tours, tastings, and Florida fruit-growing consultations round out the grove.

Myakka Head

Lyna Berry Farms runs u-pick berry fields on Neal Road in Lithia, southeast of Tampa, and also sells pre-picked orders for anyone who'd rather skip the fields. The farm sends out email alerts when the rows are ripe for picking, and posts updates on Instagram and Facebook.

Lithia

Strawberries, You Pick sits on South County Road 39 in Lithia, inside Hillsborough County's strawberry belt that runs toward Plant City. Florida's u-pick strawberry season typically falls between December and March, though this farm has no published hours or contact information.

Lithia

Bonnie Blueberries is a small, family-run u-pick blueberry patch in Lithia, closer to a backyard planting than a commercial farm. Call ahead before driving out — visitors report the bushes can be picked clean fast during peak season, and availability changes day to day. Bring your own containers. It's the kind of informal, small-scale u-pick that dots the Hillsborough County blueberry belt each spring.
