Strawberry U-Pick at Red, White and Blues Farm U-pick Begins in early December and end by early April, blueberries typically in March, April and early May. Check our event calendar for specifics. There are also Kids Activities. Peaches : they have four varieties of peaches, three of which were developed by the University of Florida. All our peach varieties are clingstone peaches, which means the flesh adheres to the pit inside the peach. These varieties of peaches tend to be sweeter, juicier, and more tender than freestones. The peach season begins in mid-May and could overlap with our blueberry season. (UPDATED: May 1, 2022, JBS) (ADDED: February 16, 2015)

Flower Picking Tips, and Information
Farms that offer U-pick or pick-your-own flowers are becoming more common.
- Once picked, quickly get the stems into water
- Get them out of the hot sun after picking to increase shelf life. Cool shade is best.
- Re-cut stems while underwater - once you get home. Making a fresh cut, while the cut end is submerged helps the stem to take up water and avoid a vapor lock.
