The birds are chirping, the bees are buzzing, and just like usual this time of year, pollen is raining down. But that’s not all! Springtime in Central Florida means the blueberries are bursting into the fields!
Unfortunately, the devastating freeze earlier this year resulted in many farms canceling their u-picks this season. Blueberry u-picks are still happening, but you may need to do a bit of calling around to confirm availability and hours before you go. Here are just a few of the places we know are definitely holding u-picks this season. Enjoy!
