St. Petersburg

The Dalí Museum holds one of the largest collections of Salvador Dalí's work outside Spain — oil paintings, sketches, and glasswork spanning his career, housed in a modern building on the St. Petersburg waterfront at One Dali Blvd. Current exhibits include "Dalí Alive 360°," a multisensory show in the museum's dome, and "Surreal Nature," an installation built on light and sound. It's an art museum, not a farm or grower, open daily 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. (Thursdays until 8 p.m.).

Tampa

Great Lakes Christmas Tree Farms has supplied fresh-cut Christmas trees and floral-grade poinsettias to the Tampa Bay area for more than 30 years, with pickup and delivery through its Tampa warehouse. It's a seasonal tree lot rather than a working farm — trees ship in each November from northern growers rather than being cut on-site.

Bradenton

BeauCoop is based in Bradenton, on Florida's Gulf Coast in Manatee County — farm country long built on winter tomatoes and strawberries.

Bradenton

Old Mission Vineyards sits along State Road 64 east of Bradenton, in Manatee County — a region built on tomatoes and citrus, not wine grapes, which makes a vineyard here a genuine outlier.

Bradenton

O'Brien Family Farms runs a farm stand and u-pick operation on State Road 64 east of Bradenton, growing broccoli, carrots, and strawberries for customers who want to pick their own. The market keeps regular hours — 10 to 5 Wednesday through Friday, 9 to 4 on Saturday, 10 to 3 on Sunday — built around a business that's been going since 2011. Call (941) 896-4811 to check what's ready before making the trip.

Duette

Bunker Hill Vineyard & Winery in Duette produces Certified Florida Farm wines, from dry and medium-dry reds to sparkling wine, using 100% recycled bottles.

It's open Monday and Friday through Sunday, 11am to 5pm, and Thursday 11am to 2pm; closed Tuesday and Wednesday.

Lithia

The Southern Barn at Lonesome G Ranch is a barn event space on a ranch property in Lithia, in eastern Hillsborough County. Ranch venues like this typically host weddings and gatherings on pasture land rather than sell crops directly to the public. No verified hours, pricing, or contact details were found online for this listing.

Bradenton

Rosa Fiorelli Winery sits east of Bradenton in the hills south of Lake Manatee. Rosa and Antonio Fiorelli, who emigrated from Sicily, opened the winery in 1998 and still run it as a family business. Tastings and tours are open Thursday through Sunday, and the grounds double as a wedding and event venue.

Lithia

Fort Lonesome takes its name from the unincorporated ranching community of the same name in rural Hillsborough County — cattle pasture and equestrian land near the Alafia River, southeast of Lithia.

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.

Valrico

Thompson Nursery and Exotics operates on South Miller Road in Valrico, a nursery for exotic and tropical plants serving the Tampa Bay area. No independent website was found online; call ahead to confirm current stock and hours.

Bret Boston built this Lithia operation into 24 acres of GAP-certified blueberries plus blackberries, alongside seasonal vegetables like sweet corn, kale, and squash.

Lithia

Frosty Blue Farms sits in Lithia, in the blueberry belt east of Tampa where Hillsborough County growers plant southern highbush varieties timed to ripen ahead of Georgia's crop. The name points to blueberries as the farm's focus.

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.

Hunsader Farms in Bradenton is a full farm-market destination: fresh produce, u-pick fields, local honey and jams, a petting zoo, ice cream shop, cafe, and an antique store, with an annual pumpkin festival that has run for over three decades. Open Monday-Saturday 8am-5pm and Sunday 10am-4pm from October through early June; closed for summer.

Tampa

Urban Oasis Hydroponic Farm grows vegetables in elevated hydroponic containers in northwest Tampa, without synthetic pesticides or herbicides. The farm sells seasonal produce directly from its on-site market and offers tours by appointment. It's a small urban operation, closer to a neighborhood grower than a row-crop farm, with home delivery and local pickup available.

Seffner

D&K U-Pick grows eleven blueberry varieties on US-92 outside Seffner without pesticides, herbicides, or ripening agents, and sells honey — blueberry, wildflower, Brazilian pepper, and swamp — alongside the fruit.

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

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

Blue Gold Growers operates in Plant City, the self-proclaimed Winter Strawberry Capital of the World and home to the Florida Strawberry Festival each February. "Blue gold" is an old trade nickname for blueberries, hinting this operation may lean berries rather than the area's namesake crop — unconfirmed either way.

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.

No specific crop, hours, or public details were verified for this property beyond its agritourism listing.

Plant City

Blue Gold Blueberries grows on Sydney Road in Plant City, Hillsborough County soil that ripens berries earlier than almost anywhere else in the country.

No hours or pricing were verified.

Plant City

Wishing Well Barn sits on a working cattle ranch with blueberry fields in Plant City and doubles as a rustic event venue built around a 60-year-old barn. The property has grown cattle, blueberries, and strawberries since the 1960s; today the barn hosts weddings and private events rather than daily farm sales. Packages start around $9,999.

Plant City

A family-run u-pick blueberry farm off Holloway Road in Plant City. The owners post picking updates and hours on Facebook each season rather than keeping a formal website, so that's the best way to check before visiting.

Plant City

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.
