U-Pick Blueberry Farms Near Clearwater-St. Pete (2025 Updated)
Your guide to U-Pick blueberry farms near Pinellas County
Looking to go to pick your own blueberries? We’ve put together a list of the closest u-pick blueberry farms to the St. Pete-Clearwater area.
There are a handful of blueberry farms located about 20 minutes to an hour away from the Pinellas area, depending on your starting location. You’ll find some north and south of Pinellas County, and some out towards Plant City.
We’re two local moms with kids ranging from toddler to elementary school ages and we round up all the kid-friendly fun near Pinellas to help save you time.
We love going to U-pick with our kids and particularly like blueberry picking because my kids know no limits on eating blueberries. For real, picking them yourself helps them appreciate all those berries they eat and can save you money too.
Some important notes about U-pick blueberries before we dive in:
- Farm hours and open days varying throughout the season depending on crop availability and weather. Always check a farm’s social media, website or call before heading to the farm
- U-pick blueberry season usually starts towards the end of March to early April, but each farm will have different start dates depending on their crop.
- Remember sunscreen! Fields aren’t shaded.
This list includes blueberry farms near Clearwater-St. Pete. For us, that means about an hour drive or less. If you’re willing to drive farther, there are a lot more farms east of Lakeland that are about an hour and a half away. We include a list of these farther farms at the end.

Starkey Blueberry Farms
Note that the location is not at Starkey Market. They post on their Facebook regularly with supply updates.
If they haven’t updated their Facebook, I’d recommend calling. We were going to go here but the nice person on the phone warned me that they had a big crowd the weekend before and to wait until later in the week to visit.
Their 2025 u-pick hours are currently Thurs-Sun from 8am-1pm.
Starkey Blueberry Farms is about 44 minutes away from downtown Clearwater.

This is where we went blueberry picking and had a great time. They also had a smaller field of blackberries to pick as well.
In 2025, they have u-pick hours on Tuesday/Thursday mornings and weekend mornings.
JG Ranch
JG Ranch has U-pick fruits but doesn’t seem to have blueberries in 2025. They do have blackberries.
JG Ranch is a little over an hour away from downtown Clearwater.
