What's in Season
South Florida's tropical growing calendar is unlike anywhere else in the country. Here's what's ripening right now — and what's coming next.
Fall · September – November
Fall in South Florida is a transitional season — summer's mango flush is winding down, and the cooler-weather rarities are just starting to come in. Avocados, starfruit, and passion fruit are at their peak right now.

Grown in South Florida
Every fruit in our boxes comes from small farms and growers across South Florida — Palm Beach County, Miami-Dade, Broward, and the Redland agricultural district. We don't name our partners publicly, but we know every farm we work with personally. These are people who've been growing tropical fruit in South Florida for decades, and their knowledge of the land shows up in every box we ship.
