Homestead, Fla.—Robert Is
Here is an extraordinary slice of old Florida hospitality. Founded in 1959, this fruit stand has
everything from locally grown tropical fruit to vegetables. It also has an
extensive assortment of jams, jellies and other food items. It is approximately a 30-minute drive south of Miami, Fla.

During certain times of the
year the stand has milk shakes made with strawberries, key limes or other in-season
fruit.
I went this past March and
got served by Robert, the owner. He had a cheery smile and personality.
I bought some locally grown
passion fruit at $9.95/lb. and a slice of locally grown, caramel tasting,
Mamey Sapote at $3.50/lb.
Robert Is Here is a great
place to visit for locally grown tropical fruit. But don’t feel you are missing
out if you don’t live locally because you can get their produce shipped to your door. Just click on their Tropical Fruit Shipping page, select an item and click on their shipping page link to complete the sale.
