Florida

Florida is marsh and coast all at once, with redfish, snapper, duck, wild hog, citrus, and subtropical produce shaping a very different outdoor table.

Harvest Identity

Florida carries a strong mix of land and table culture. Common game includes wild hog, duck, osceola turkey, dove, and deer; fish often center on redfish, snook, trout, snapper, and catfish; and the produce side of the plate leans on citrus, tomatoes, peppers, okra, and avocados.

Seasonal Notes

Warm weather stretches everything out, but winter birding, spring turkey, and year-round inshore fish create a long, active calendar.
