Looking for a local, pick-your-own farm in Southeast Florida? Scroll down this page and you will see the U-Pick farms in Southeast Florida, sorted by county. Those that offer 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?"). The U-pick crops they offer follow the name of the farm. To search the page for a specific crop, use Ctrl-F (or on an ipad or Mac, use their "search on this page" function) If they have a website, the name will be in blue and underlined; click on it and it will open their website. If you find anything outdated or inaccurate, see the customer and farmer menus (as appropriate) at the top menu bar to submit updates and corrections and help me keep each current!
Remember to always check with the farm's own website or facebook page before you go - or call or email them if they don't have a website or Facebook page. Conditions at the farms and crops can change literally overnight, so if you want to avoid a wasted trip out there - check with the farm directly before you go! And if you know of any farms I missed and want to add a farm, please let me know! I'm making updates for this year as fast as I can - if you find anything out-of-date, wrong or not working - please let me know!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 2019, and other timely information:
Notes for April 2019: Not much growing outside at this time of year, unless you live in southern California, southern Texas, Florida or along the Gulf coast where citrus are ripe, and believe it or not, the blueberry and strawberry season in those areas is about to start. See your state harvest calendar . And this is a good time to learn how to preserve foods ahead of the season, like making applesauce or jam. See our comprehensive list of easy home canning, jam and jelly making, 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. It is also a great time of year and easy to make your own ice cream, even gelato, or low fat or low sugar ice cream - see this page. If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to write me!

A visitor writes on December 04, 2013: "This farm was a fantastic way to spend "Black Friday." We were visiting family in south Florida and needed a break. The grounds were spotless and we even met the owner. They obviously take a lot of pride in their crops and their establishment. They had standard red tomatoes just starting to come ripe and we should have picked twice as many as we did. Many heirloom varieties of tomatoes were not quite ready at the time (11/29/2013). And there were plenty of strawberries, which were amazingly sweet. We picked about 8 pounds and half of them were eaten after the first day. I would recommend 110%!" -
