Hello everyone,

Thanks so much for having me! My name is Andrew. I'm a third generation farmer. My family owns a large parcel of land in Christmas, FL which we've predominantly planted with palms and ornamentals sold to commercial landscapers on this property since 1999.

In the past few years I've taken to converting the farm to more agroforestry and edible plant systems. A part of that is a retail edible plant nursery, which I've taken to specializing in rare tropical plants. We're also working to expanding production to have a wholesale portion of our edible plant business as well.

Froot Farms is located at 20999 Brown Road, Christmas, FL 32709

We're open by appointment, but typically have appointments available

Monday-Friday 7am to 4pm
Saturday from 9am to 1pm


My personal contact info is
(407)222-7814
andrew@frootfarms.com

Here's our current availability list:

I'm not currently shipping out of state. Though, I plan into looking into that more shortly.
