About Farm and Nursery Properties in Ocala
Ocala, the Horse Capital of the World and Marion County's economic hub, offers an exceptional market for farm and nursery properties. Anchored by the World Equestrian Center and positioned at the crossroads of I-75 and US 441, Ocala combines strong growth fundamentals with a business-friendly environment that attracts farm and nursery buyers and investors from across the state and nation.
Ocala and its immediate surroundings have supported a productive farm and nursery sector for generations, with the city's central Florida location, mild climate, and fertile soils creating ideal growing conditions. Container nurseries along US 301 and SR 35 south of Ocala produce ornamental plants, palms, and shade trees that are shipped to landscape contractors throughout the Southeast. Hay farms on improved Bahia grass pastures west of the city supply the equestrian community's insatiable demand for quality forage — the WEC alone has intensified local hay demand dramatically. The Marion County Farmers Market and Farm Bureau provide marketing channels for smaller produce operations, and the county's Greenbelt exemption program keeps property taxes manageable for active agricultural operations.
