AT A GLANCE

The history of MoonBeam Land Company.

1820 - 1880
SOWING THE SEEDS

Bold and industrious men and women of the Evans family line write the early pages of family history when John Dea Lee Sr. migrates to Florida in 1820. Setting initial roots in White Springs.

1880
GROWING THE NAME

Evans family ancestors eventually land in Oviedo, FL in 1880s. John’s Great grandfather “B.F.” Wheeler acquires/creates, builds and manages one of the largest citrus, celery, packing house, and fertilizer plant portfolios in the state of Florida.

1900 - 1990
REAPING THE SOW

Wheeler and Evans families maintain large-scale citrus, ranching, celery, and real estate holdings throughout the state of Florida.

1990 - PRESENT
PIVOTING

Citrus industry decline forces family to redirect. Like many historic agricultural families, the family slowly transitions from production agriculture into a real estate firm (land, retail, office, industrial, etc.). After 140+/- years in agriculture, Evans family sells last remaining grove property in 2021.

2008
BUDDING A NEW PATH

John Evans graduates from The University of Mississippi in December 2008 from the business school with a real estate finance degree. Backed by a generational pedigree of agricultural, land and real estate knowledge and experience, John joins a large land investment and brokerage firm. John establishes his role as Executive Vice President in 2015 at the age of 30 years old.

2022
LIGHT OF THE MOON

After 13 years of brokering land and completing some of the most notable deals in the state, John Evans founds MoonBeam Land Company, Inc. The name is derived as a tribute to his ancestors, which comes from mid-century citrus labels owned by the family. One label, in particular, was named MoonBeam Citrus. MoonBeam Land Company, Inc. is established to serve the great people of Florida, ensuring a prosperous Florida for generations to come.*

2023
TO THE MOON
