Hi,
Farm News
Summer has flashed by, and school's just around the corner. We're doing webstore sales again this week, because next week we'll be attending a specialty crop conference in Jax.
We've JUMBO-sized our Donnie avocados, and they won't be outlawed 'cuz they're both delicious and healthy.
Our Diamond River longans love the rain, and have sized up nicely. This variety is more like a lychee than Kohala longans - they are less sweet and more juicy.
We say our bananas are "not your nana's bananas", but actually, maybe they ARE! These are awesome, full of flavor, little fat bananas, totally unlike those you find at the stores nowadays.
We still have some pretty amazing Gold Nugget, Keitt, and Tommy Atkins mangoes available, so stock up, because pretty soon there will be none. Mangoes freeze really well.
Jakfruit is producing abundantly. Take advantage of our labor-we offer cleaned pulp ready to eat. Buy extra - it keeps in the freezer perfectly for a quick snack.
Carambolas are love the warm rainy weather too. We have sweet light-colored Fwang Tung as well as other sweet and tart varieties.
The smaller Pantin (aka Key West) mameys are in now.
Limes have been maturing, both Key Limes and Persian limes. Use these to add zing to your guacamole (and help keep the bright color of the avocados). Make a simple yet incredibly good salad dressing with freshly-squeezed lime juice, honey, some water to dilute and a pinch of salt.
Not too many veggies around, so check out the baby sunflower greens, peashoots, nopales (cactus pads), red dandelion, and Paradise Farms' BBB (baby brassica blend), oyster mushrooms, and arugula.
Proteins? YES! Rachel's Eggs, responsibly-raised Tilapia (no chemicals or antibiotics, small operation, not high-density, biofilter water which is used to water/feed young mangrove plants for habitat restoration projects) - WHOLE-YOU CLEAN. And for your pets - raw Redland-raised goat milk (per Florida law, labeled for pet use only, not for human consumption). These goats are fed certified organic feed.
Spice everything up with some summer herbs & spices - allspice berries, curryleaf, lemongrass, garlic chives, mint tips, hoja santa, betel leaves, basil (sweet and Thai), Florida Keys Sea Salt, gomasio, and Moroccan-style preserved citrus pickle.
There's just too much good stuff to list it all, so you'll just have to click on the webstore, look around, and place your order!
Reminder: Enrollment is open for Winter 2015/2016 CSA season
the Early-bird renewal discount ended JULY 15, but our CSA is still a great bargain. Secure your spot now. And thanks to a grant, we offer matching dollars for SNAP/EBT recipients who enroll in our CSA program.
Now shipping Avocado gift boxes
Want to do something nice for your out-of-town friends or relatives? Or perhaps just boast about the amazing avocados we have? You can send them a gift box of our avocados, and even include some liquid sunshine (aka farm honey) in your order.
Place your shipping order, and we'll do the rest. To ensure highest quality, we only harvest and ship on Mondays and Tuesday, and ship 2nd day air.
Please note this is a separate order process - NOT part of our summer webstore. Mail-order avocados
here. Local? near one of our summer pickup sites? Save yourself the shipping and order on the webstore for local pickup, along with other summer offerings. See below.
