The first time I ever came to Homestead was before Travis and I were married. Travis drove the whole way and I slept for a good part of the drive. By the time we got to his parent's house he was ready to crash and I was wide awake. So my soon-to-be father-in-law asked if I wanted to go to Robert is Here. I said yes and that is the first place I ever to went in Homestead . I have been hooked ever since. Whenever we have company we always suggest a trip there.They have the best fresh fruit milkshakes I have ever had. Out back there are donkeys, ducks, goats, turtles, dogs, birds, roosters, and an emu - the girls all thoroughly enjoy that part. "Robert" has a very cool story and has been featured on NBC's The Today show and World News Tonight. At age 6, his father sat him on a corner and told him to sell cucumbers. No one stopped that day to buy any. So the next day his father put him out again with a sign that says "Robert is Here." The next day he sold out of cucumbers. At age 14 he bought his first 10 acres and had employees working for him. The fruit stand is on the same corner he sat at when he was 6. It is a pretty awesome story.
So if you ever visit me in Homestead, expect a trip unless it is September or October - those are the only months it is closed.

Kelly that is one of the first places we also whent to when we moved down here. Not only is the produce the best but also their pies. I agree with you on the shakes, but since I can't have sugar I only buy the fruits and veggies.LOL...
BTW all of the pictures are great. Thanks for sharing.
Mmm...a fruit shake sounds delicious. I will make sure to plan a day for that trip on our visit to FL to see you and T's 'best friend'! ;) See, there IS something you have that we don't...fresh fruit and access to it pretty much year round. You do NOT want to know what I'll be paying for bananas and oranges in a month or so.
Yes, come on down. I recommend blackberry.
