To say that Rane Roatta has a passion for tropical Florida fruits would be an understatement. He started selling fruit at Miami farmers markets nearly a decade ago, picking up fruit from local farms on his bicycle. The bike was eventually replaced by a car, and then a van, and by 2016 his Facebook friends were asking him to ship some of his spectacular fruits around the country. He turned to his partner, Edelle Schlegel, for help, and Miami Fruit was officially born.
Nowadays, Roatta and Schlegel work with hundreds of local Miami growers, and they even own their own seven-acre farm to experiment with new varieties. 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. From long neck avocado to watermelon guava to cacao to durian to Variety Boxes brimming with a mix of tropical fruits, South Florida’s rarest & most jaw-dropping exotic fruits are shipping nationwide!
