Saw this place on our way from the Everglades. It's hard to call it a stand, it's more of a fruit market at this point! Huge parking lot which was packed when we arrived. All fruit looked fresh and absolutely amazing! Not cheap but you get a beautiful delicious top produce. Some of the fruits I've never even heard of! You can get most of them in a smoothie too, that they make fresh right there. Sandwiches, and other goodies are also available. A must stop if you're in the area! Also, Animal farm with goats, turtles, chickens, iguanas, emu, and more!
Must stop for anyone traveling in the area, the milk shakes and smoothies (dairy free) are amazingly delicious and popular in this area. While you wait for your lunch, or drink check out the market filled daily with fresh fruits and vegetables sourced from local farmers. They also have a petting zoo, and play area for the kids, as well as live music. It's a whole experience if you have the time to sit and enjoy with friends and family.
Highly recommend a stop at this fruit stand/animal observatory/shake shack. We go out of our way to stop here anytime we are nearby, and even when we are not. I love ordering shakes and smoothies of various flavors, trying/buying fruits I have never heard of, and sitting to watch the antics of the animals they have out back. One of our favorites is getting the miracle fruit, which makes sour things sweet and sweet things sweeter and then biting into a lime. It’s a fun experience. This isn’t a tourist trap- it is a south Florida institution that you must stop at, try a fruit or smoothie you have never had before, and see some animals for free (yes it doesn’t cost anything!). The lines can get long but it is worth it! We also like to stop and grab stuff before we trek into Everglades National Park for the day! If you are driving through to go to the keys or in the area for other reasons, give this place a shot for a fun, quick stop.
I went because of all the hype around this place when I went down to visit the Everglades and I did enjoy my fruit shake, which is what they are known for. I got something totally different that I had never heard of before and it tasted delicious. The shakes come in just one size and could run you between 8-10 dollars. there is a large variety of fruits from around the world and other miscellaneous treats and eats at the fruit stand. Worth a visit if you’re in the area, especially after coming out of the heat of southern Florida and the Everglades.
Great place for lots of fresh tropical fruits ( mangoes, passion fruits, coconuts, jackfruit, avocados, guanabana, cut pineapples, watermelons, sugarcane, etc.), jams' jellies, unique sauces, fruit juices, smoothies, boiled peanuts and a great collection of live parrots, and animals in the back. The fruits are a bit on the expensive side but worth it. Great place for the whole family to visit. They have some covered tables in the back to savor the many goodies in the store. Robert was there at the cash register to greet customers. Lots of parking upfront. Very friendly staff.
Great fruit stand with other stuff too (sauces, jellies, chips, etc). The guacamole and plantain chips are very tasty! The fresh squeezed orange juice is worth every penny, too. BUT, the milk shakes that they create make the world a better place to be, this side of glory! Delicious!
Even before going to Florida I knew I wanted to go there. Everything is fresh, some of the fruit there I've never seen before, so we tried quite a few. Unfortunately some went bad because we waited too long to eat them, since they were already ripe. I want to go back again for sure next time we are near. We enjoyed the animals they have outback. This place is pretty neat.
Great road side fruit stand with a petting zoo and South Florida's best milkshakes with a line and wait that seemed to confirm that opinion. Oreo milkshake was solid. Robert himself still works there and is a wealth of knowledge regarding fruit. Some very unique and interesting fruits as well. Definitely worth a stop if you are coming to or from the Florida Keys!
Definitely a must stop if in the area. A wide assortment for exotic fruits and vegetables. Great local honey and jams. I also got the most amazing mangoes I've ever had plus they even cut the fruit for you if you ask! Plus the watermelon was extremely red and juicy!
Fun stop for shakes, cookies and some produce! The animals were cute and some were feisty with eachother! It would be nice to see the animal area cleaned up a bit but it is a farm after all. They have tons of jams, jellies, sauces and seasonings. Definitely a stop worth taking!
