For centuries, this countryside has adapted to colonization, wars, industrialization, and modernization. Yet it continues to nurture life—human and ecological alike. The soil that once fed the Timucua, the Spanish missionaries, and the pioneer farmers still yields crops today.
In every sunrise over a misty field, in every song of the whip-poor-will, St. Rural reminds us that history is not confined to books and museums—it lives in the land itself.
