What began as a small plant nursery in the 80s has progressed into one of Tampa’s most beloved u-pick farms: Keel and Curley. In addition to their u-pick strawberries, you can roam the farm to see the animals, taste their famous blueberry wines, or enjoy a bite at their farm-to-table restaurant. Keel and Curley also have weekly events, from Trivia Tuesdays to live music!
We 100% recommend sitting down to enjoy one of their famous dishes, like the Blue and Bleu Burger or the Wine Burger - to DIE for!
And, we promise you, after a sip of our favorite strawberry cider, you'll come back for more (and even take some home).
Make sure to wear something comfy and cute!
Pick your outfit carefully. It should be something you love and feel confident in - you'll want to bombard your phone with pics!

Hunsader Farms is next up on our list of u-pick farms near Tampa bay! When you visit Hunsader Farms, their goal is to “help you catch a glimpse of days past when life was a little slower, a little sweeter, and a lot simpler”. They host an annual pumpkin festival every fall, have a petting zoo and playground for kids, and a farmer’s market. Their u-pick options in Tampa Bay really knock it out of the park, though.
