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.

Plant City

Glover's Blueberries grows in Plant City, in Hillsborough County's berry belt where mild winters let growers pick weeks ahead of Georgia's crop. Strawberries built the region's reputation, but blueberry acreage across Central Florida has grown fast since southern highbush varieties suited to warm winters became available.

Plant City

The u-pick blueberry rows on Kinard Road that longtime visitors know as Proctor Family Farm now operate as Bluebird Family Farm, with wide walking rows between the bushes and buckets provided at the gate.

Check bffberries.com or email [email protected] before planning a trip.

Seeds of Love Nursery and Ceremonial Garden grows organic plants on Bryant Road in Lithia, in the same blueberry-and-strawberry belt as much of eastern Hillsborough County's farm country.

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.

Lithia

Yancey's Blueberry is a family-run u-pick operation near Lithia, charging $5/lb to pick your own berries or $6/lb for pre-picked.

Call ahead before driving out, since picking windows are short and weather-dependent.

Bartow

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.

Dade City

Greishop Orchard is another of the Florida Sweeties peach sites around Dade City, part of a small network of Pasco County growers who open their trees for u-pick each spring. Florida's peach season lands months before Georgia's, thanks to low-chill varieties bred for the state's mild winters.

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.
