Berry Picking

Local Options Within an Hour Drive for Pick-Your-Own Farms!

By Ariel Chamberlain, Macaroni KID Gulfport-Biloxi March 19, 2023

As the weather warms up the season for pick-your-own will soon begin! There's nothing better than a handful of fresh strawberries or blueberries. We love supporting our local farmers and buying locally-grown produce and goods. Plus, it's fun for the whole family to visit a pick-your-own  (PYO) farm. 

Below are some of the family-owned berry farms within driving distance of Gulfport and surrounding areas. While I've made every effort to ensure information is up to date, it's always a good idea to check with the farm, using the info provided below, about availability. Many of the farms have hours that vary based on weather and how many berries are available that day.
