40 ST. JOHNS COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
SOUTH ST. JOHNS: This area is St. Johns County’s
Agricultural Center. A drive south along State Road 207
will take you into southwest St. Johns County, primarily
agricultural land comprised of the small residential area
of Vermont Heights; just west of I-95; the unincorporated
area of Elkton at County Road 305; the community
of Spuds on County Road 13; and the Town of Hastings
18 miles southwest of St. Augustine.
Hastings dates back to the late 1800s when Henry
Flagler needed a source of fresh vegetables for his St.
Augustine hotels. He persuaded Thomas Horace Hastings
(a relative of his architect) to develop the farmlands,
and to this day the Town of Hastings is known as the
“Potato Capital of Florida.” Other crops include cabbage,
onions, eggplant, sod and ornamental horticulture.
In this part of our county you can still experience
the Old Florida main street, bustling farmsteads, and
historic St. Ambrose Parish.
