Nearly a decade ago, Miami began selling fruit at local farmers' markets, initially using a bicycle to pick up produce from nearby farms. As demand grew, Miami Fruit expanded, transitioning to car and van transport.
By 2016, prompted by requests from Facebook friends nationwide, Miami teamed up with partner Edelle Schlegel to establish Miami Fruit officially. Today, they collaborate with numerous local growers and operate their own seven-acre farm. The fruit they source usually ships the day after it’s picked, and it’s oftentimes fruit that simply can’t be found outside of the Tropics.
