Farmer Mike’s U Pick

They advertise as being able to pick fruits and veggies. It’s called U pick, so you’d think you could pick a lot of different things. This is not the case. We were told you can only pick strawberries, tomatoes and flowers. So we did. The lady behind the register was very friendly.
The tomatoes were few and far between, as either the employees already picked through everything, or they weren’t ripe. We ended up finding 6 regular tomatoes. We were hoping to get an heirloom tomato, but they were all green or picked. We also picked some cherry tomatoes. There were plenty of those.
The strawberries were also few, as the employees already went through them.
The tomatoes tasted like store bought hybrid tomatoes… not much flavor. I guess I was hoping for a garden flavor tomato. The same with the strawberries.
If you want to take the kids somewhere different to pick veggies, the younger kids might really enjoy this, but for us, it wasn’t the experience we were hoping. I was hoping we could pick a salad or other veggies in different months.
I will say the fruit and veggies are very fresh, and it’s a clean farm :). The prices are very reasonable and the produce available for purchase is plentiful! :)

The only reason I didn’t give it a 5 stars rating is wish they’d offer u pick citrus too. We go once a week to pick strawberries n other produce. Fresh n staff are real friendly.

Took the whole family here for the first time and can’t wait to go back! All the produce is amazing vine ripened and picture perfect. We got triple the amount of herbs for half the money if local grocery stores. Looking forward much more

This is a great farm. They have u-​pick strawberries and tomatoes and some florals depending on the time of year. As with most farms, they are only open during season since its too hot to grow anything during the summer months. They also sell a huge variety of vegetables and fruit, all of which is fresh and very reasonably priced.

i always buy from FARMER MIKE at the farmers markets and they have fantastic produce and nice salespeople… all my friends who go to coconut point market on thursday love this farmer also… GREAT VALUE… FRESH…A WINNER

This place has it all. I took my husband and daughter out here to pick our own veggies… how fun is that! They have a mix of all kinds of tomatoes. I don’t like tomatoes that much but I tried some since they were so red and the flavor of those tomatoes was yummy we got bags of stuff for under $ 20 I live in Alva so it’s a nice drive for me but worth it.

I always come to Mike’s to load up on fresh produce when here in SW Florida. Since so much of the food in this area is fast food, processed food, and generally overproduced — Mike’s allows me to compensate by making fresh salads and juices at home.
The produce here is fresh, diverse, and affordable. Shopping here allows me to avoid the need for shopping at Whole Foods. They generally have discounted citrus that is perfect for making fresh juices. I give it 4 stars out of 5, only because of the produce being conventional, and not organic. But… In my book, the quality and good price make Mike’s U Pick a great find in this neck of the woods.
