We have regular work parties at the nursery, at which we start new plants, weed and otherwise tend to existing plants. You’ll help us to produce lots of fruit trees for distribution, and also learn lots about growing fruit and nut trees. (Scroll down for directions to the nursery.)

Help Us at The Farmer’s Market!
We need help with transport … with setting up and breaking down. We also need help selling and promoting our plants and answering questions.

Directions to The Nursery
Our nursery is located at: The Gainesville Organic Blueberry Farm, 1621 SE 15th Street, Gainesville, FL 32641.
It is a little hidden away so be sure to print out these directions and bring them with you the first time you come!
If you get lost call Michael 561 236 2262.
* Go East on University until the road splits to the right for Hawthorne Road.
* Turn right onto Hawthorne Road (State Road 20).
* Take the next right onto SE 15th Street.
* Go South on 15th Street for about 1.2 miles to the old Blueberry Farm. On the way you will pass a church on the left and sports fields from Lincoln Elementary School on the right. Later, you will see a second church on the left, white with a blue stripe. The church has a parking area and a field on the south side.
* Just past the church paking area and field is the fence of the Organic Blueberry Farm. There is a ditch and road along the fence but don’t use it since the back gate will be closed.
* Continue on to the main entrance of the Bluberry Farm which will be on the left past the mail box. There is a blue building which is hard to see from the street since it is covered with vegetation. The address is 1621 SE 15th St. but since there is no street number sign on the fence or building look for the old mailbox to turn.
* Enter past the blue building and you will see a greenhouse on the left. Drive around the garden area to the greenhouse and park anywhere. We are usually in the garden area or the greenhouse.
