Florahome, FL Overview

Not far from Gainesville is the small community of Florahome, once known as the center of a profitable truck-growing region.  This population center actually had its genesis in 1899 when the Etoniah Canal and Drainage Company drained the prairie at the edge of town, making vast fertile acres available for farmland.  Today, these drained mucklands support farming and timber enterprises.  The only activity that resembles industry is peat mining, which is still agriculturally oriented. In spite of the fact that the local peat company has changed ownership several times, the enterprise has thrived for more than 50 years.  New residents will find a variety of home styles and sizes in Florahome, where a close-knit community atmosphere and the pleasures of small-town living have remained relatively unchanged.

Climate and Weather

The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
