Citrus U-Pick Orchards in Alachua County, Florida in 2024, by county

Below are the U-Pick orchards and farms for citrus that we know of in this area. Not all areas of any state, nor even every state, have citrus orchards that are open to the public. If you know of any others, please tell us using the add a farm form!

Remember to always check with the farm's own website or Facebook page before you go - or call or email them if they don't have a website or Facebook page. Conditions at the farms and crops can change literally overnight, so if you want to avoid a wasted trip out there - check with the farm directly before you go! If I cannot reach them, I DON'T GO!

They said I could come later, so my husband and I came when they said. Nobody answered the door and when I tried to call them, the line was busy. If they didn't want anyone to come pick they should have just said so. That was a long drive for nothing."
