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.
If you know of any I missed and want to
add a farm,

What's in season in January 2023, and other timely information:
Notes for January 2023: The northern half of the U.S.
(and most of Canada, of course) are under snow. So, the crops to pick are pretty
much limited to Florida, Texas, southern California and a few other areas of the
Deep South. Citus, for one, is a crop that is usually available now; and
in those areas, soon also strawberries and blueberries. Check your area's
copy calendar (see this page) and call your local farms for
seasonal updates.
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!
Next year, don't miss an Easter Egg Hunt for your children:
See our companion website to find a local Easter Egg hunt!
We also have a website for both
Valentine's Day information, facts and fun and one for
St. Patrick's
day (including great recipes for corned beef, Irish stew, etc.)
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 form 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!
