TROPICAL FRUITS and VEGETABLES
During the winter growing season, we grow as assortment of vegetables, herbs and edible flowers. These are available for sale through our Community-Supported Agriculture (CSA) farm membership program and Farmers Market.
Avocados
In the summer, our primary product is avocados. We grow the Donnie and Hardee varieties, both early avocados which average anywhere from 18-27oz when mature. If you're used to the small Mexican avocado varieties such as the Hass avocado, these will seem GIGANTIC to you! These pictures say it all. The picture on the left shows the nice flesh-to-seed ratio on the Donnie avocados. The other picture shows 3 avocados. The middle one is a Hass avocado- probably the kind your local grocer carries-flanked by ours. On its right is a typical Donnie from our grove, ready to eat. On its left is one of our Hardee avocados. It's starting to change color, showing it is almost ready to eat. Its skin will turn a pretty burgundy color just as it ripens.
ORGANIC FARMING & SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE~PRESERVING OUR FUTURE
Here in South Florida, our subtropical climate enables us to grow many tropical varieties of fruits, vegetables herbs and edible flowers quite successfully. The high humidity and warm climate present unique disease, weed and pest control challenges to organic growers.
In keeping with our commitment to future generations, we adhere to strict organic practices and use sustainable agriculture methods whenever possible.
A few years ago we formed Redland Organics, a loosely-organized group of local organic and sustainable growers working together towards a common goal - to stimulate our local economy and support local small family farms while providing the consumer with high-quality, locally-grown, organic and pesticide-free produce at a reasonable cost.
We started a Community-Supported Agriculture (CSA) farm membership program several years ago. It has become quite popular. We offer weekly shares of vegetables, herbs, edible flowers, honey and eggs from November through April for South Florida residents in the tri-county area of Miami-Dade, Monroe and Broward.
We also sell at our local Farmers Market. Come see us every Sunday 8am-1pm January through March at the South Florida Farmers Market in Pinecrest. The market is sponsored by Gardner's Markets and is located at their Pinecrest store off US1 & SW 124th Street.
FRESH-PICKEDWe pick your fruit on the day it is shipped, ensuring the freshest fruit, best taste and top quality delivered to your door. They will be ready to eat within 2-4 days of receipt. Order now because, since we are a small farm, supplies are limited- when they're gone, they're gone!
