Strawberry picking in Miami is a popular winter and springtime activity. Come weekends, if folks aren’t spending time at one of the many Miami beaches then they’re heading somewhere south for a chance to scoop up fresh berries. It’s not only a fun thing to do with kids in Miami but it’s also a great cheap date idea and an ideal way to spend some time outdoors besides heading to a Miami park. While we’d like to think of strawberry fields forever, most of these spots are only in season until approximately mid-April, weather permitting. So grab the family, or your fellow berry lover, and head to one of these farms for a sweet adventure.

Thousands of quarts of strawberries have been picked each year for more than 50 years at Burr’s Berry Farm. This Homestead farm is a staple in the area, and it’s open daily. Not quite in strawberry-picking shape? Don’t worry about bending or crouching at this farm; it has a vertical growing system in place so customers can now pick their own berries while standing up. How novel.

Did you know there are more than just long lines and delicious cinnamon rolls at Knaus Berry Farm? Strawberries (and tomatoes) are actually grown behind Miami’s best-known bakery stand in the Redlands. The best of both worlds: fresh strawberries (both in their natural form and as delicious milkshakes) plus cinnamon rolls. Flip a coin to decide who waits in line for the rolls while the rest of the gang heads to the back to pick fresh fruits. Note: Knaus Berry Farm closes for summer in April.

This family-owned farm has decades of you-pick growing under its belt. You’ll find pumpkins in the fall, but as soon as winter rolls around there are several acres of strawberries ready for picking. While the fruit is a draw, Bedner’s offers fun tractor tram rides through the fields for a more in-depth look at the farm.
