Winter Haven

Castro's Farm LLC operates in Winter Haven, in Polk County's citrus and produce belt between Tampa and Orlando. No working website, phone, or social listing turned up in a search, so current products and any public sales hours are unconfirmed.

Fort Meade

Jones Blackberries started as a single acre planted in 2010 outside Fort Meade and had grown to about 2.5 acres of thornless blackberries within six years. It's a family-run u-pick operation in Polk County — check its Facebook page for the current picking window, since blackberry season in central Florida typically runs a few weeks in late spring.

Bartow

S & S Micro Farm is a licensed Bartow nursery growing blueberries and moringa — seeds, saplings, and hand-harvested moringa products, all processed on-site. The farm has picked commercial blueberries since 2019 and is developing a two-acre food forest around a planned event space. A January freeze damaged this season's berry bushes and tropical plantings, so the farm is regrowing before reopening for u-pick.

Haines City

Ridge Island Groves has grown and shipped Florida oranges and grapefruit since 1992, run for decades by Jill and, more recently, her daughter Christi, with gift boxes going out nationwide and homemade soft-serve sold on-site. The farm offered u-pick oranges and tangerines for years, but as of mid-2025 it closed its doors to public visits after more than three decades of operation. Mail-order shipping may still run through ridgeislandgroves.com — call (863) 422-0333 to confirm before planning a trip.

Polk City

Ever After Farms runs u-pick blueberries, peaches, blackberries, grapes, citrus, mangoes, and avocados across nine properties statewide, including a citrus grove near Polk City. The company pairs its pick-your-own fields with wedding venues on the same land, so blueberry rows in East Central Florida and a lemon-lime grove in the southwest double as event backdrops in season.

Polk City

Avon Park

Sharon's Farm Fresh Produce is listed on South Florida Avenue in Avon Park, in Highlands County's citrus and cattle ranching belt on the Lake Wales Ridge. No website or listing turned up in research beyond the name, type, and address — this reads as a roadside produce stand rather than a large operation.

Polk City

Harvest Holler is an agritourism stop in Polk City, which sits between Lakeland and Orlando in Central Florida's citrus and cattle country. No website or public listing turned up in research — call ahead to confirm what's currently open and in season.

Kenansville

St Cloud

Amazing Animals Inc is listed as an agritourism stop in St. Cloud, in Osceola County's cattle-ranching country on the edge of the Kissimmee prairie. No live website or public listing spells out which animals it keeps or what a visit involves.

Kissimmee

The Osceola County Historical Society's Pioneer Day is an annual living-history event near Kissimmee, where the society maintains Pioneer Village at Shingle Creek with restored 19th-century buildings. Current event dates and admission details weren't confirmed online — check with the historical society directly.

St Cloud

Airboat tours run through the Everglades headwaters near Kissimmee, with 60-minute, 90-minute, 2-hour, and 4-hour trips plus private charters. Guides point out alligators and wading birds, and the outfit has been rated Orlando's top 90-minute and 2-hour tour for five years running.

Lakeland

C&W Farms of Central FL is a u-pick operation in Lakeland growing blackberries and blueberries, with visitor reviews describing a quiet setting and multiple blueberry varieties to choose from. Hours shift with the season, so calling ahead before a visit is worthwhile. No working website or direct contact could be verified.

Bowling Green

Heartland Events operates out of Bowling Green, in Hardee County — one of the counties that make up what Florida officially calls "the Heartland," a citrus-and-cattle region south of the I-4 corridor. The venue's name reflects that regional identity directly.

Saint Cloud

Premium Peach has grown u-pick peaches on Packard Avenue in St. Cloud since 2014, about 30 to 45 minutes from the Orlando theme parks. Florida peach varieties are bred for the state's mild winters, so the fruit runs smaller than what you'd find up north, with a sweetness locals say makes up for the size. Picking season runs April through early June — call (407) 448-9958 or email [email protected] to check availability.

River Ranch

Westgate River Ranch is a dude-ranch resort on the Kissimmee River in central Florida, built around horseback trail rides, airboat swamp tours, and a weekly rodeo. Guests stay in teepees, glamping tents, or standard rooms rather than camp on raw land. It leans toward organized Western entertainment more than hands-on farm work — pair it with a real u-pick stop if fresh produce is the goal.

Avon Park

McCracken Farms is a family-owned u-pick operation in Avon Park growing blackberries, blueberries, corn, cucumbers, eggplant, onions, peppers, pumpkins, squash, and tomatoes using hydroponic methods. A country store on-site sells jarred goods and ice cream alongside the harvest, and hours shift with the season, so calling ahead is worth it.

Saint Cloud

A cash-only blueberry u-pick farm in Osceola County charging $4 a pound. Owners post picking updates directly to Facebook as berries ripen.

Lakeland

Scotty's Living Farm is a pick-your-own operation on Creekwood Run in Lakeland, listed among Polk County's u-pick farms for seasonal fruit and produce.

Smith Family Ranch sits outside Lakeland, in Polk County's citrus and cattle country. No hours, offerings, or contact information for this ranch are published online.

Plant City

Fancy Farms has grown strawberries in the Plant City area since 1974, when Carl and Dee Dee Grooms planted 15 acres; the family now farms nearly 140. The market sells strawberry shortcake, cobbler, and milkshakes alongside u-pick zinnias and sunflowers, plus jams and preserves under the Fancy Dees' label. Open October through June.
