Agricultural Pine Island

Pine Island's main agricultural export crop is ornamental trees, mainly palm trees.  But there are lots of other agricultural activities on Pine Island, including raising tropical fruits (mango, lychee and papaya are the most common); raising beef cattle; keeping bees for honey; and growing vegetables...tomatoes, lettuce and peppers are crops that are in season now.

It is great living on a tropical island that is so rural.  Here are some photos I took on my bike ride this morning.   If you'd like more information about buying agricultural property, or a small farm or grove on Pine Island, contact me, Erika Foye, Real Estate Broker for All Island Realty, Inc. at erikafoye@embarqmail.com.  I'm based in beautiful Bokeelia.
