Welcome to the Farmton website!

The Farmton Tract is an area of 59,000 acres situated in both Volusia and Brevard counties in east central Florida. It was bought by the Deering family of Chicago starting in the 1920s and benefits from careful stewardship of the land for over 85 years.  In fact, the name for our company, Miami Corporation, was chosen because of the many winters the family enjoyed in Miami, FL.  In the present day, Farmton includes timbering operations using best management practices, a mitigation bank restoring thousands of acres of wetlands, and quality wildlife management.

As the face of east central Florida continues to change along with the economics of silviculture, Miami Corporation has created a legacy plan for Farmton that will provide a long-term, 50 year vision for the land that is consistent with our company’s stewardship ethic and commitment to best management practices. 

The Farmton Plan has been approved by Volusia and Brevard Counties and been held in compliance by the Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA).  It is being called a model for long term-large scale planning and sustainable development by the DCA.
