Peach

Florida peaches are typically smaller and more fragrant than traditional peaches, with bright, juicy flesh and a tropical sweetness that reflects its coastal growing environment.

Ackee

With a delicate, nutty flavor and creamy texture, ackee is most well-known as the star ingredient in Jamaica’s national dish, ackee and saltfish.

‘South Florida’ Persimmon

Grown in the subtropical soils of South Florida, they ripen into soft, custard-like fruit with rich caramel notes—perfect for fresh eating, baking, or drying.
