Before You Go – Things to Know About Blueberry Season
Florida is the sweet spot for growing delicious and super-healthy blueberries, which ripen earlier than others thanks to our cold-but-short winters and some agricultural ingenuity. Here in the sunshine state, blueberries typically ripen in April and May; a few farms also offer blackberries ripening soon after.
Tips to remember for u-picking include wearing closed-toed shoes, a shade hat, and sunscreen; most farms will offer buckets to collect your berries in. Check out our list of local U-pick farms and call ahead for operating hours and availability. Favorites for blueberries include Margo’s Blueberry Farm, Upicktopia, and JG Ranch, among others.
