Pick your own Pensacola area Strawberry & Blueberry Farms

Looking for a fun seasonal activity this spring? Consider visiting a pick your own berry farm to grab some fresh strawberries, blueberries, blackberries or muscadines at our favorite Pensacola area berry farms. As with all the fall seasonal farms, most of the berry farms are in rural areas like Milton, Molino, and Robertsdale so farther away from the city of Pensacola so anticipate a 30 minute to hour drive to reach one of these berry farms. We think it’s totally worth the drive as berry picking is a must do, family friendly event in the Pensacola area.

Our best tips for a good time picking berries:

Most of the berry farms are in remote locations so plan for the drive.
Due to unpredictable weather and availability of berries, hours of operation vary widely at many of the berry farms and they often close with short notice.
Bring your container for your berries. While most of the berry farms offer containers for your convenience, they may run out of or have subpar containers.
Bring sunscreen. Most of the berry farms require full sun for good growing conditions so it gets hot, fast, especially in the summer berry season.
If it’s your first time picking berries, you may want a warning that bugs love berries, too. Don’t be surprised if you pick a berry that’s been half eaten already. Don’t worry, you only pay for what you keep.
Make sure you have plenty of strawberry and blueberry recipes or a plan to freeze your extra berries. You can pick a ton of berries in an hour or two.
