John F. Tenney supervises a conveyor belt of potatoes: Hastings, Florida

from Florida Memory

• Pixel Wrangler said:

  "Henry Flagler built tourist hotels at St. Augustine in the late 1800s. He needed a local source of fresh vegetables for his guests, so he persuaded Thomas Horace Hastings, his cousin, to develop a farm. "A small community evolved into a town, which was named for its founder in 1890. Hastings is known as the "Potato Capital of Florida" with 21,000 acres (85 km2) of potato farms, but also produces cabbage, onions, eggplant and ornamental horticulture. "As of 2004, the population for Hastings recorded by the U.S. Census Bureau was 607." --Wilipedia
