For over six decades and through three generations, the Turner family has served as careful stewards of the land, with the majority of the property remaining in its natural state and the balance in improved pastures and pine flatwoods.  Today the 9,700-acre ranch is a diversified working operation, including cattle, citrus, timber and produce.
