It’s a sweet season for picking

March 28, 2023 By Mary Rathman

Blueberry season in Florida has opened, giving family and friends an opportunity to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine, while picking their own supply of the fruit.

Besides boasting a rich flavor, blueberries are packed with antioxidants — providing health benefits and giving people a chance to have fun while gathering the berries.

The Florida Agritourism Association offers the opportunity for added income, helping to ensure the next generation of Florida farmers, according to a news release.

Here is a sample of local farms that offer blueberry u-pick events:

  • Church Lake Farms, Odessa, Pasco County: Visit Facebook.com/churchlakefarms.
  • Bobs Berries LLC, Riverview, Hillsborough County: Visit Facebook.com/bobsberriesfl.

For year-round information on agritourism events and a list of u-pick farms in Florida, follow the Florida Agritourism Association online at VisitFloridaFarms.com, on Facebook, or download the association’s free app in the Apple or Android app stores.
