Hello Cathy,
After your post I did lookup to see where you were talking about but 
other than take care of that curiosity there was not much I could do. 
Being near the ocean (or the Gulf) is almost always a big plus in my 
book and with that climate year round growing (or grazing) is a real 
possibility but I have zero real knowledge of Florida.
