Polk City

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.

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. Freezing temperatures this past winter wiped out the 2026 blueberry crop, though — the farm's website is telling visitors there won't be berries this season and pointing people to Antioch Blues instead. 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. It's listed under organic certifier QCS (Quality Certification Services) rather than run as a u-pick produce stop — call ahead for current plant availability.

Dover

Lee Vineyards grows grapes on McIntosh Road in Dover, in Hillsborough County's strawberry-and-produce belt east of Tampa. As with most Florida vineyards, muscadines are the likely variety, since the state's climate favors them over traditional bunch grapes. We couldn't verify tasting hours or sales, so call ahead.

Dover

It's the kind of informal, small-scale u-pick that dots the Hillsborough County blueberry belt each spring.

Seffner

Laila's Blueberries is a small u-pick blueberry operation on E. Sligh Avenue in Seffner, part of Hillsborough County's blueberry belt east of Tampa. Florida's blueberry season typically runs late March into May. We couldn't verify current hours or pricing, so call ahead before you go.

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

Peaches of Pasco grows peaches on Ducklake Canal Road outside Dade City and sells them both u-pick and pre-picked, a rarity in a state better known for citrus and blueberries than stone fruit. Florida peach season is short, typically clustering in April and May. Reach the farm at (813) 714-1112.

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.

Strawberry Passion Organic Farms is on Tom Folsom Road in Thonotosassa, part of Hillsborough County's strawberry belt just outside Plant City. Florida's organic strawberry season typically runs winter into early spring. No hours or contact details specific to this farm are published online.
