Blueberries are on the way!

Florida Agritourism Association

The sweet smell of spring is among us, and that means that it is officially blueberry season here in Florida! There is no better way to immerse yourself in the feeling of Spring than blueberry picking.
Highly packed with antioxidants and rich flavor, blueberries are sure to not only benefit your health, but also bring a smile to your face while picking them. There are quite a few farms in Florida that offer u-pick events for blueberries. This is a great way to enjoy the Florida sunshine and to spend time with family and friends while doing a fun outdoor activity!
Agritourism offers the opportunity for Florida farms to provide added income for multi-generational and heritage agriculture properties so that they can continue to thrive in an era of increased pressure from development. When you support a family farm who hosts agritourism activities and u-picks, you help to ensure that the next generation of Floridians will have access to the wonders of a rural and agrarian lifestyle that has been an important part of Florida’s economy for over 175 years.
