Hastings, FL Overview

Located 18 miles southwest of St. Augustine, the small town of Hastings serves as the county's agricultural center.  Hastings actually had its genesis as a garden planted in the late 1800s when Henry Flagler was building grand hotels in St. Augustine for wealthy visitors.  Flagler convinced Thomas Hastings to develop a large farm that could grow winter vegetables for the enjoyment of hotel guests.  Known as the potato capital of Florida, the community has retained its rural atmosphere.  In addition to potatoes, the area harvests other vegetable crops and benefits from ornamental horticulture, timber, and livestock interests.  Highlights in this unusual town include picturesque old farmsteads, bustling new agricultural operations, the Hastings town center, and the vintage St. Ambrose parish.

Climate and Weather

The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
