Ruskin Colony Farms

Ruskin Colony Farms lies along Florida’s Gulf Coast near Tampa Bay, where low, level land has long supported cultivation before giving way to the bay’s tidal shoreline. The Little Manatee River enters Tampa Bay nearby, linking this part of Hillsborough County to a broad estuary on the state’s west coast. The surrounding Ruskin community developed from the Ruskin Colony, a cooperative settlement founded in 1909 and named for the English writer John Ruskin. Farming, particularly tomato growing, remains part of the area’s identity alongside residential growth on Tampa Bay’s South Shore.
