Who we Are
We grow tropicals ,
Just south of Miami, USA and just north of the Florida Keys in an area called the Redlands.
It’s where we grow our SlimCado avocados, starfruit, passionfruit, dragonfruit, lychees, mamey, jackfruit and more.
On the west coast of Florida, we also grow starfruit and passionfruit.
The Caribbean, Central, and South America
Brooks grows its popular Caribbean Red papayas in several Caribbean locales. Papayas think southern Florida gets a little too cold sometimes.
Additional groves of SlimCados in the Dominican Republic help us have a longer season. Also helps in case of hurricanes.
20 other tropical fruits and vegetables are grown in 15 counties in the Caribbean along with Central and South America.

Our History
In the early 1900s, Charlie Brooks and his son Dick started growing avocados, grapefruit, limes, and mangos in the subtropical climate just south of Miami.
In 1928, Dick rode inside a refrigerated truck filled with Florida avocados to NYC to make sure the fruit would arrive fresh. That opened up new markets for the farm.
In the 1960s, Pal Brooks followed his father into the farming business.
Today, Pal Brooks keep farming in the family. Heading up operations that grow premium tropical fruits and vegetables throughout Florida, the Caribbean, Central, and South America.
We hope you enjoy, literally, the fruits of our labors.
