Located in rural Lake County, about 45 minutes from Orlando, our land was homesteaded in 1874, when John King left his home in Buffalo NY and headed South with his young family.  They travelled by steamship to Savannah, Georgia and from there by horseback to the land that would become their farm in Eustis.  John King built a house between two lakes and  planted one of the first orange groves in Florida; naming the farm King Grove. 

Today, Hugh Kent and his wife Lisa are the stewards of King Grove Organic Farm.  The farm is also their home. The farm’s 150 acres are surrounded by lakes and conservation land. Along with  organic blueberry fields and a small orange grove, the farm includes pine plantations, wildflower plantings, old growth woods and protected wetlands.
