Topic: The Good and Bad of farming in South Florida

Since 1965, Pine Island Farm, Inc. has been a prominent grower in the South Dade/Homestead area of Florida, contributing to the region’s status as a leading winter tomato supplier.

Now in its third generation of family ownership and operation, the farm has transitioned to its current identity: The Berry Farm and shifted their focus to agritourism, u-pick experiences and hosting community festivals and events, while remaining one of the largest growers of Strawberries in the area.
