Question: Where in Florida can you find Al Capone’s tomato farm and Burt Reynold’s ranch?

Answer: Jupiter

In 1923, Al Capone purchased a property in what is now known as Jupiter Farms. The area was a prime location for tomato growing. Capone used the spot as a stash house and a place to hide his associates and their families. Actor Burt Reynolds bought the property in the 1960s. He turned it into a luxurious compound where he married Loni Anderson, built a farm and a petting zoo, and filmed portions of Smokey and the Bandit.
