Find all U Pick Farms in Gainesville, FL
North Central Florida Berry Country
Gainesville sits inland, so it runs hotter in summer and colder in winter than the coasts. Summer highs average about 91°F. Winter nights average in the low 40s, with frost several times most winters. Around 50 inches of rain falls each year, most of it from June through September. Those chilly winter nights give blueberries, peaches and blackberries the cold hours they need to set fruit.
Gainesville's Farming History
The University of Florida is the reason this is berry country. Its plant breeders in Gainesville developed the southern highbush blueberries that made it possible to grow the fruit in Florida's mild winters, and most u-pick farms in the state now plant those varieties. Before that the area grew citrus, including the Cross Creek grove where author Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings lived, until repeated freezes moved orange growing south.
What Grows near Gainesville
Strawberries come first, usually from February through April depending on the farm. Blueberries are the main crop, with picking from April into early June. Peaches and blackberries ripen in May and June. Muscadine grapes follow in August and September, and a few farms offer figs in summer and persimmons in fall. Some also plant sunflower fields for picking.
Planning Your Farm Visit
Most farms are 15 to 45 minutes from town. Head north to Alachua and High Springs, southeast to Hawthorne and Micanopy, southwest to Archer, or south toward Citra and Ocala. Blueberry farms get busy on weekends in late April and May, so mornings are best, before the heat and the afternoon storms. Home football Saturdays in the fall clog the roads around campus. Many farms are small family operations that post their open days on Facebook, so check before you drive.
