Loftus Family Farm: Hours, Picking Details & Directions

Our gates open this Saturday, September 7th, and from then on we'll be following our usual schedule. Come pick your own — just take a moment to read the details below before you set out.

Standard U-Pick Hours

Saturday: 9am–6pm
Sunday: 1–5pm

You can reach us at 386-462-1227 or 352-214-1028.

Picking costs $1.25 per pound, and we take CASH ONLY.

Before Your Visit

Kindly leave dogs and other pets at home — our insurance doesn't cover bites, so pets can't come into the vineyard.
The vineyard has no bathroom, so please plan ahead.
We supply 5-quart buckets for picking; each one holds about 7 pounds.
Would you like a heads-up before we open? Send us a note through our Contact Us page and we'll put your name on our opening-notice list.

During U-Pick season we're in the vineyard or out shopping on weekdays. You're welcome to call for an appointment, but please give us a day or two of notice so we can work it into our schedules.
