We will prepare a supper full of golden eggs and peas, but beware of the poisoned apples for they could bring you to your knees! 🍎

🪄Come sip on kooky cordials, let your taste buds jig, and have a merry ol time as we nibble and tap dance our way along the flavor ribbons of fables and tales, will we laugh ourselves awake from the dream, or eat our way out!?

Blood Orange, No filter.

Is it an orange, a raspberry, an orange raspberry!?
It’s the Moro, my friend… my friend…

The Sicilian Blood Orange… and it’s your new favorite orange. If you don’t try it this season unfriend me on all platforms because it will hurt me to see you and know you don’t try it, it will.

We are harvesting all of our Blood Oranges before the hard freeze coming for the groves this weekend. This may be our last harvest for these and the amber sweet varieties growing further north. With the weather being scandalous as it is Saturday night, we are running a bulk sale on these beautiful oranges, and we have hundreds of pounds that need a home.

DM for more details!

The Florida fruit coop was a happy accident born of the unhappy reality of COVID, after all the events for my smoothie truck were cancelled and I ended up dropping off fruit at the doorstep of friends and family. It’s been such a nourishing five years serving you fruit since, but the time has come for me to re-focus my energies on homesteading and give back to the land that is feeding us!

I (lev) will be dutifully languishing up north near Lake Panasoffkee, where we will be growing and caretaking many types of fruits, especially citrus, some of which you will be sampling this winter. Come for a visit and pick your own, otherwise I will see you here and there at the market and through the 1’s and 0’s our world portal hand computers.

With that said, dear Fruipies, please warmly welcome Chris “the Pine Island Prince” Ostema this weekend, as he will be taking over Market operations and Captaining the USS Fruit Hunter through mosquito maelstroms and fire ant sun showers, to the ends of the earth and the edge of your imagination, in the quest of the finest fruit from Florida and (sometimes) beyond.

Chris is a fruit forager with Pine Island roots and his grandfathers heirloom fruit knife. You are in good hands. Fruitful hands!
I’m so lucky he is taking the reins on this dragon.

Deep gratitude for all your love and support, fruit fam, it’s been a beautiful journey, and thanks for all the fish! 🫡🙏🫶

The life of a fruit monger is a hot, sweaty, and sticky affair, but not without reward. Few else, other than the fruit hunter, get to drive around with a van smelling like the inside of a bag of skittles. Something about the symphony of mango coconut aromas mixed with juicy jackfruit blending with a nose already filled with rosy lychee perfume. Oh boy, I’m getting emotional.
