| Introduction | The best fruit in the world is mango! Fortunately a lot of people agree with me, and appreciate the quality and variety of our fruit. Many of our customers from other countries grew up with great mangos and are thrilled to find similar flavors here. In 2013 the raw food community discovered us, and their enthusiasm has been wonderful. We grow about 50 varieties organically. Each of our varieties has its own unique flavor, texture and fruiting season. Consequently we have a longer mango season and a greater range of flavors than any other grove around. While mangos are our main crop, we also grow lychee, caimito, carambola, sugar apple, jak fruit, longan, atemoya, jaboticaba, black sapote, mamey sapote, sapodilla, and tamarind. We also sell fruit trees. One of our current projects is building raised beds for growing vegetables. Because of the enormous amount of work involved with growing so many kinds of fruit, our selling hours are very limited. Please check our hours before coming. |
