U-Pick Farms in Tampa Bay: Where to pick berries, flowers and veggies now!

By Last Updated

U-pick farms in Tampa Bay are opening their fields once again for a fun and unique day out on the farm with the kids! Right now, you can pick strawberries, vegetables, u-pick flowers, and even citrus.

Before you go, check each farm’s social pages or websites to ensure they are open as hours and dates change with the weather and whether a crop is available for u-pick.

A few u-pick tips:

  • Bring sunscreen and bug spray.
  • Bring cash. Some farms accept credit cards but have cash on hand just in case.
  • Wear closed-toed shoes when out on the farm.
  • Pack plenty of water for everyone in your group. It can get hot in the fields (gotta love winter in Florida).
  • Only pick ripe fruit and veggies. Strawberries will not continue to ripen once picked.
  • Bring your own containers just in case. Some farms provide containers, but not all.
  • If you are picking flowers, bring a container with water to keep the flowers fresh for the drive home.

Our favorite U-pick farms in Tampa Bay are offering picks right now!
