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 2-3 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 Kendall at Sous Chef 2 Go (near Dadeland).

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 for "Summer Orders" so we can take your order.  Sign up to receive our Emails  (If you're a current or past CSA member, you're already on our email list, but please take a moment to update your profile to be sure we have your current email address and current interests).

 

The 2009 summer fruit report as of early AugustSeptember

We're into the mid-season avocados now. Did you know there are over 30 commercially-grown varieties here- not to mention the myriad other varieties and unnamed seedlings. Most are of the West Indies or Guatemalan strains, or hybrid crosses of those, perhaps with some Mexican strains. South Florida avocados often astound folks who are only familiar with the small (tiny!) Mexican types, such as Haas.

Lychees and longans were bountiful this summer- now they're gone. Soon, however, Diamond River longans will be available. These are juicier and softer and a bit more acidic than the 'standard' longans.

Canistel (eggfruit) are blooming - we should start seeing some in a couple of months.

The black sapotes are blooming - expect them to start ripening in December.

Some bananas are ripening- but it's hit and miss

Mangos came in fast and strong, and are now pretty much finished for the year.
