---------- FOR SALE ----------

Barbara and I have decided to sell our award winning 20 acre Pine Ridge Sanctuary property which includes the 15 acres of globally endangered Pine Rocklands (with it's 90% reduction in Property Taxes), all the empty greenhouse structures and associated tools & machinery, our 5 acres of palms and tropical fruit trees (The Field), and our gorgeous home.

*** An important note: by preserving and maintaining the Pine Rockland portion of the property, the State and Miami-Dade County have reduced our property taxes by 90% ***

Pine Ridge Orchids is still producing wonderful large sized palms and tropical fruit trees planted directly in the ground for landscape use and we are still importing our favorite Chinese and Taiwanes teas and we will provide our experiences and information for your education.

**** I NO LONGER GROW NOR SELL ORCHIDS ****

=========================

-- PINE RIDGE ORCHIDS & PINE RIDGE SANCTUARY is a trophy property --

Loosly defined from Wikipedia - a piece of real estate in the top 2% of all properties that is exceptional for its "residence, historical, and high amenity natural lands with spectacular views or other extraordinary amenities - including privacy, exclusivity, natural beauty, recreational opportunities, scarcity, and resources for scientific interest, research, and biodiversity."

Please review our website to see what we have - approx. 4,000 square foot home, + 15 acres of the most biodiverse and most highly awarded and best maintained Pine Rockland in the world, + 5 acres of large landscape palms and tropical fruit trees, + the supporting equipment and infrastructure for Pine Ridge Orchids' greenhouses which are empty at this time.

Our website incorporates all our former orchid information placed into one link PLUS our existing links for Pine Ridge Pineland ecosystem, PLUS a link for The Field palm and tropical fruit trees for landscape, PLUS our Chinese & Taiwanese tea link. I have added Barbara's dog training link along with future SoloShot 3 videos as soon as we can add those.

WE ARE STILL IN BUSINESS

OUR PRIMARY CROP IS LANDSCAPE PALMS & FRUIT TREES
