This popular south Dade fruit and vegetable stand specializes in tropical fruits and fruit products. Here, you can purchase bananas, melons, carambola (star fruit), mangos, and pineapples, among many other fruits. The stand also sells unusual jams, jellies, sauces, and dressings. The exotic drinks made from fresh tropical fruits are definitely worth a try.
As a farmer specializing in tropical fruits, Robert has been featured on NBC’s Today Show, on World News Tonight, and in newspapers and magazines across the country. He’ll happily tell you how to get to the airboat rides, and where to get a great meal, what that strange plant was you saw in Everglades National Park. But don’t bet on leaving his fruit stand empty-handed; you’d have a hard time resisting the wonderful aromas of fresh fruits and vegetables. Fruits like Monstera Deliciosa, which looks like a giant green ear of corn but tastes like banana and pineapple; Carambola, or “Star Fruit”; Mamey; Lychee; Atemoya; Papaya; and in summer Robert’s pride and joy – MANGOS! He’ll cut them up for you to eat as you wander through the jars and jellies and preserves; many from his mother’s recipes.
