Green Acres Blueberry Farm
17500 Eldridge Ave, Spring Hill, FL, 34610
Green Acres Blueberry Farm is a small family-run u-pick farm on Eldridge Avenue, and the first thing to know about it is that the season is short. Picking opens around the first week of April and runs through May. Outside that window the farm is closed, and Google will show it as temporarily closed for most of the year. That is normal, not a sign the place has shut down. One geographic note: the farm's mailing address reads Spring Hill, but ZIP 34610 sits in Pasco County, south of the Hernando line. During the season, you-pick blueberries are $6 per pound and farm-picked berries are $7 per pound. Payment is cash only, which catches people out, so plan for it. Alongside the blueberries the farm grows seasonal vegetables at varying prices, and reviewers also report strawberry picking, though strawberries come and go earlier and are often picked over by the time blueberry season peaks. The farm sells blueberry jam made from its own fruit, along with blueberry plants and assorted other plants if you want to try growing your own. The operators describe their approach as sustainable farming, and the review comments track with that: a lot of bushes, a lot of berries, and a family that talks to visitors. Education is a real part of what they do. The farm hosts school field trips and homeschool groups during blueberry season, and one reviewer describes bringing a class out and finding it both fun and informative. The farm is also pet friendly. It holds a 4.9-star average across 86 Google reviews, with reviewers consistently describing it as a genuine family operation rather than a commercial attraction. Season opening dates and current availability are posted at youpickblueberries.net and on the farm's Facebook page. Given the short season and the weather dependence of a berry crop, checking before you drive out is worth the minute it takes.
