Alachua County's farm and nursery sector is distinguished by its connection to the University of Florida's agricultural research enterprise.

The county's western reaches — from Newberry south through Archer and into the Monteocha area — feature productive farmland used for hay, cattle, row crops, and small-scale vegetable operations. Nursery operations in Alachua County range from native plant specialists serving the ecological restoration market to conventional container nurseries growing landscape material for the construction industry. The county's active agricultural community and proximity to Gainesville's health-conscious consumer market support farm-to-table operations and direct-sales channels that can generate premium revenue on relatively modest acreage.
