Innovation Rooted in Tradition
Tucked away in the quiet grove country of Alturas, Florida, Golden Ridge Groves is an immersive farm experience rooted in Florida farming tradition. Founded by Katie and Shane Bevilacqua, third-generation members of a Florida ag family, the farm is a tribute to Florida’s rich citrus legacy while showcasing some new innovative farming techniques.
Golden Ridge is proud to lead the way with Florida's first U-Pick grove grown under CUPS (Citrus Under Protective Screen), a forward-thinking farming method that protects fruit quality, extends the season, and supports sustainable practices. From disease resistance to improved guest experience, CUPS represents a possible way into the future—and we're honored to help introduce it to the public.
We've paired this cutting-edge farming method with a welcoming on-site market, featuring:
- Fresh-Squeezed Juice
- Homemade Ice Cream and Milkshakes
- Florida-Grown Produce, Jams, Jellies, Honey's, and More
- Gift Fruit Shipping
- Farm Tours and Tastings
A New way to experience the grove

🍓 Strawberries
Featuring a vertically grown U-Pick system, perfect for easy, clean, family-friendly picking.
🌻 Sunflowers
Seasonal blooms that create the perfect photo op and take-home bouquet.
🫐 Blueberries
COMING in 2026!
All designed to bring you closer to the land—and the people growing your food.
