In 2005, a local farming family - the Geraldsons - wanted to sell their land. However, they wanted to make sure that it stayed in agriculture. So the contacted Manatee County and the county agreed to purchase it and lease it to Florida West Coast RC&D.
The RC&D has now operated Geraldson Community Farm for 3 seasons. The "Geraldson" name remained to honor the family and their support of Manatee County.
