Robert is Here Fruit Stand and Farm
There is such a unique start to this story of the Fruit Stand. When Robert, the owner, was six years old he sat at the same corner of the street where his stand is now and started selling his father’s cucumbers. His first shot at trying to sell fruit didn’t go so well. He told his dad that no one came to visit. His father, thinking no one could see him sitting there, placed a sign that read “Robert is Here”. By noon, he had sold all of the cucumbers.
Robert continued selling fruits and vegetables after school and on the weekends. He later hired a neighbor lady to work the stand for him while he was in school. His entrepreneur skills continued as he began to purchase land at the age of 14 and planted an avocado grove on it. He continued to grow his farm and his business has continued to thrive.
He continues his legacy of selling rare exotic and tropical fruits at his fruit stand daily. You will find the most unique fruits and some you can’t pronounce. Most are grown on his farm while some are imported from other countries. Robert is happy to share his knowledge of the items he sells in his shop, and he will tell you how to tell when the items are ripe and what they will taste like. He is very knowledgeable about the items he sells.

Stock your pantry with specialty items
There are so many additional items you can purchase to stock your pantry. From jams, alligator jerky, cilantro, salad dressings, candies, cookbooks, spices and more, I wanted to purchase some items to take home with us so we could enjoy these specialty items over the next few weeks. It was hard to pick as there were so many to choose from. My total for what is pictured below was $79.88. I bought several different fruits, jam, alligator jerky, cilantro, and salad dressing.
NOTE: I made a wonderful guacamole with the large avocado seen above. 4 out of 6 of my family developed stomachaches after eating it. I am not sure if it was the avocado or a coincidence but just use caution as you eat these exotic fruits. We had no problem with any of the other items I purchased.
This was a fun stop after visiting Everglades National Park. After leaving the Everglades from the Ernest F Coe Visitor Center near Miami we headed straight to Robert is Here Fruit Stand in Homestead which was about a 10-minute drive. Make sure to add this spot to your list when you are traveling to Miami, Florida.
Enjoy your journey,
