This is a newspaper article from 1966 about my Mom and Dad, I am very blessed to have had them for my parents, what a great time and place to grow up!

We are in desperate need of a tractor w/bucket, some forestry mulching, fill dirt, topsoil and compost for the U-Pick farm, please contact us if you can help in any way! We are super thankful for all the volunteers that help us in the garden, they work so hard and never stop smiling! Thanks John Casey for building our luxury chicken condo, if only they had a pool and steam room....
I will have citrus trees for sale next month, several varieties available and they will go fast, I have orders for many of them already, so give me a call if you'd like to pre-order and I'll let you know which varieties are available.
Sorry for being so random here, but also need railroad ties for raised bed areas and one other item, I have a big old 2003 F350, crew cab long bed truck that is just too much for the garden and grove, always getting stuck out there when it rains, I'm looking to trade for a smaller truck, preferably 4WD, don't mind an older unit if it runs ok, 'cause well, I'm an older unit myself!!!
We really appreciate all of you that patronize the store and Farmer's Market every Saturday, it's really great so see old friends and meet new folks that are visiting or have moved to the area. Plus we have the coolest, most fun vendors on the planet, so much good stuff to eat and drink, did I mention Bilbo's Salsa, these guys make a killer salsa and are helping me to get healthy with their amazing "Kowabunga juice" (at least that's what I call it), you've got to try this stuff! Tracy is always cooking something that you just can't resist, there is fresh bread and bakery goods, by fresh I mean like baked last night, OK?
There is super amazing coffee, more mushrooms than you can imagine, hand-made jewelry, locally propagated plants, and more cool stuff than I can list. check out https://www.facebook.com/merrittislandfarmersmarket?__cft__[0]=AZV5w2m7HP2jTEUmxRcWenpOVZIaQlbjQOCMgaavW4_jD2REmy-GXuDI4XWL_rb4shDcC2xvg3aBy1xFwcVl3vn2LQOZiy1YSiBpFOU9PPus0dEjz53TWdqLlCYd5pDSuJ7q4O4xq3ldGLWoA7ngOcfyHzzttWwLMxe-4p08Byiomw&__tn__=-UC%2CP-R
Have a great week and enjoy winter tomorrow, I'm sorry for all you cold-loving folks out there, I'm just an old Florida boy and I like it hot, it'll be here soon, right. Well that's my thought for today, y'all take care!

Open Sat., 9:00am -2:00pm

We have Navel Oranges and Red Grapefruit!
Hello everyone, we trust that your Thanksgiving holiday was a good one and want you to know that our Merritt Island, Indian River Fruit is now in season, the navel oranges have had a couple of cool nights and are nice and sweet and juicy, the grapefruit are coming in a close second and are so very tasty. This fruit is grown totally chemical free and is directly from the tree to you, no washing, waxing or colorizing here, just good fruit. Of course the hurricanes and flooding of this growing season have reduced the size of the orange crop so please get 'em while we got 'em.
We are also waiting to see how our Honeybell crop has fared from the storms and will let you know they have ripened and are ready to sell.
The fruit is available daily in our store and outside at the Farmer's Market on Saturdays, when I'll be around, it would be great so see you and catch up, so come on out from 9-2 on Saturday!
By the way, the address is 5515 N. Courtenay Pkwy, Merritt Island, Fl 32953, remember our BIG CRISAFULLI GROVES SIGN got blown down by Hurricane Nicole, so look for the temporary Life Recaptured sign when you come over.
