This fall, we finalized the sale of Panther Grove, our 1,304-acre property in Hendry County, to the State of Florida for permanent conservation.
Once an active grove, Panther Grove was our most southern and remote property. Located on the edge of the Everglades, it is a sanctuary for native wildlife, including deer, turkeys, black bears, and the endangered Florida panther - a true haven for Florida's natural beauty. As agricultural challenges emerged, we recognized the land’s greater purpose.
Today, Panther Grove joins the Florida Wildlife Corridor, an 18-million-acre ecological network that protects essential habitat and ensures wildlife can move freely and thrive. This is not only a win for conservation but for the future of Florida's natural heritage.
