Redland Organics

Thank you for your interest in our Community-Supported Agriculture program!

We do not offer CSA shares in the summertime.

We offer whatever is available, including fruit, eggs, honey and herbs and tilapia, by prepaid order only, from late May to October.

We send out emails approximately every 3 weeks, letting you know what's available for that week, with the link to the order form. You can pick up your order at one of two places- on the farm, and in Coral Gables at Theine Tea Salon.

The order form is not accessible from the website, so you must be on our mailing list. Please make sure you're on the mailing list so we can take your order. Get added here. (If you're a current or past CSA member, you're already on our email list, but please be sure we have your current email address).

 

The 2008 summer fruit report as of mid-July:

bullet

Our avocado harvest is nearly finished, but other, later varieties of avocados will continue to be available through the fall from our other partner farms.

bullet

The ciruela (hog plums or mombins) harvest was great this year and we sold out.

bullet

Mameys are already bearing-expect fruit through September or October.

bullet

Guavas are starting to size up- expect them around September (but they may be hit with fruit flies).

bullet

Jakfruit are starting to size up and ripen. They'll be available on and off for several months. Most are very large, so unless you want to purchase a whole one, you can only get them in chunks as ripe (dessert) fruit.

bullet

There was a small lychee harvest, and it looks like there will be even fewer longans.

bullet

Sapodillas are bearing

bullet

Canistels (eggfruit) have blooms and small fruit. This is a funny plant- you can find a tree in fruit somewhere in South Florida at pretty much any time of year, but a particular tree will bear at the same time every year.

bullet

The black sapotes are full of baby fruit- expect them to start ripening in December.

bullet

Bananas & plantains are doing well. We'll offer them when we have enough ripening at one time.

bullet

Mangos have peaked. There are still some around, but not too many.

bullet

Carambolas bore several times this past fall and winter, and they've been resting. We're starting to see some blooms.
