Looking for a local, pick-your-own farm in Florida? Scroll down this page and select your region of the state for a list of U-Pick farms in Florida,
sorted by county. Farms offering organic or sustainably grown produce are identified by the words "organic" and/or "sustainable" in
green, next to their name (see "What
does Organic mean?").
If they have a website, the name will be in blue and underlined; click on it and it will open their website.
And if you are looking for a
local
farm stand, roadside stand, farm market or local farmer's market, see our new
website, dedicated to those! See your
state's
crop availability calendar for specific dates of upcoming crops.

I'm making updates for 2018 as fast as I can - if you find
anything out-of-date, wrong or not working -
please let me know!
What's in season in April 2018, and other timely information:
Notes for April 2018: Strawberries are one of
the first major crops, starting in Florida, southern California and parts of
Texas and working northward through April and May and into June. But in
each area, the season is only a few weeks long and highly dependent upon local
weather and varieties planted. Check your area's
copy calendar (see this page) and call your local farms for
seasonal updates. FL, TX, CA: Citus is usually available now in those
areas along with strawberries and blueberries.
Children's Consignment Sales
occur in both the Spring and Fall
See our companion website to find a local
community or church kid's consignment sale!
We also have
home canning, preserving, drying and freezing directions. You can access
recipes and other resources from the drop down menus at the top of the page or the site search.
If you have any questions or suggestions,
feel free to write me! It is easy to
make your own ice cream,
even gelato, or low fat or low sugar ice cream - see this page. Also note,
there are many copycat website listing U-pick farms now. They have all
copied their information from here and usually do not ever update. Since
2002, I've been updating the information every day but Christmas; so if you see
anything wrong, please
write me!

Note about strawberries in Florida:
There are a few strawberry u-pick farms in Florida open during the
entire season, which lasts from December through April). Most commercial
farms do not open their fields to the general public until the end of the
season, which is usually in April (depending on the weather).
NOTE: The exit numbers on the
Interstates have changed, but we have no way of knowing what the new correct
exit numbers are until the farmers correct their listings; so be sure to ask
when you call the farms!
