Acreage is very expensive in Florida. Plus, having a small farm there comes with many obstacles. 1) You need one or more greenhouses because not that many edible plants will grow in sand, it gets damn hot there and the sun dries up the soil as soon as you're done watering and its punishing rays will scorch the plants 2) poisonous snakes everywhere, so be prepared to pay vet bills/lose some livestock 3) sink holes 4) lightening causes brush fires 5) securing your outbuildings, crops, and livestock when a hurricane threatens I could of course name more obstacles, but my point being there are several locations that are 10x better than Florida if you want to operate a small farm.
