Agriculture security isn’t a service line we added. It’s where Almond Tree started and it’s still the work we know better than anyone in South Florida.
Four Things Every Agricultural Operation Needs Protected

What Is Agriculture Security?
QUICK ANSWER
A farm doesn’t fail security the way a store does. Nobody trips an alarm; a gate is simply left open, a pump is gone by Monday, or a night’s worth of harvested product never makes it onto the truck. By the time the loss is discovered, the trail is cold and the season’s margin is already gone.
Our officers know what belongs on a working agricultural property and what doesn’t because our leadership grew up on one. That’s the difference between a guard standing at a gate and a security plan built around how your operation actually runs.

Homestead-Based
We Don't Drive Down To The Farmland. We're From It.
Our office sits at 30003 SW 197 Ave in Homestead inside the South Dade agricultural belt, not an hour north of it. Our officers know the field roads, the packing house schedules and the difference between a neighbor’s truck and a stranger’s.
That matters at 2 a.m. on an unlit access road, when response time is measured in minutes and local knowledge decides whether a call is a false alarm or a loss in progress.

Questions
Agriculture Security FAQs
How do you secure a property that's hundreds of acres?
How much does farm security cost?
Agricultural security is billed hourly and depends on acreage, number of officers, coverage hours and whether you need armed or unarmed coverage. Most operations start with overnight and weekend patrols the hours when nearly all theft happens which costs far less than full-time staffing. We quote after a free walk of your property.
Can we increase coverage only during harvest season?
Yes, and most of our agricultural clients do exactly that. We scale officers up during planting, harvest and packing peaks when crews are largest and product is staged on site, then scale back in the off-season. You aren’t paying for peak coverage year-round.
Do your officers know how a working farm operates?
Yes. Our leadership comes from a generational South Florida farming family, and officers assigned to agricultural properties are briefed on your operating hours, crew patterns, vendor traffic and harvest schedule so they can tell normal activity from a problem instead of calling you about your own tractor.
Do you provide armed officers for remote properties?
Yes. Class G licensed armed officers are available and are often recommended for isolated properties, sites with a history of repeat theft, or operations storing high-value equipment and product. We’ll give you an honest recommendation during the assessment.
Can officers work alongside our cameras, gates and dogs?
Absolutely that’s the strongest setup. Cameras record and gates delay; officers respond in real time, verify what the camera saw, and call law enforcement while it’s still happening. Our coverage is designed to layer onto whatever you already have.
What areas do you cover?
All of Miami-Dade County including Homestead, Redland, Florida City and the South Dade agricultural belt, plus Broward County, Monroe County and agricultural land along the Krome Avenue corridor. Statewide expansion is underway.
Do you also secure solar farms and vacant agricultural land?
Yes. Solar installations on agricultural parcels and fallow or development-held land carry the same profile as a working farm: remote, unlit, high-value copper and infrastructure, and no one on site after dark. We provide the same patrol coverage for both.
