Guide to Area Berry Picking

3


Pensacola Mom Collective is excited to bring you our Guide to Area Berry Picking!

Nothing says “spring” like the joy of warm days with your family picking berries. Here’s a list of local U-Pick farms to kick off SPRING.

Living in Northwest Florida, we have the benefit of getting those fresh berries early, thanks to our warm climate!

Strawberry picking season starts in late February and continues through March. Blueberry season follows shortly after, from mid-May through mid-July.

Spend a beautiful morning in the sunshine picking berries, and bring a picnic lunch to enjoy after your harvest! Snap some photos, and be sure to tag us on social media #PensacolaMomCollective.

*Be sure to check the hours of operation before you go; hours will vary based on weather conditions and availability.
