    I've heard it said that if you do what you love you'll never work a day in your life. At the very least avocado growers worldwide owe you a big thank you for spreading the love. And it's so educational for us consumers.

    I'm so glad you and your family made it safely through Helene and will be safe in this next storm, too. I have been thinking of calling and asking you some ordering questions, but I did not want to bother you if you were in the throes of storm recovery.

    Great video! I have ordered avocados from you and they were great! I am also growing Simmonds avocados and waiting on Choquette and Marcus pumpkin to start bearing. I got those varieties to spread out my avocado harvest times to be able to have avocados more months of the year. I learned about that from your channel. Thanks!

    Florida orange growers already have a marketing plan and distribution network. Piggyback. Copy them. Don't reinvent the wheel. Get your avocado and mango alongside the oranges. Send your son on the road to call on buyers.

    Florida's avocado growers need to step up their marketing and distribution schematic. Hass type avocado are sold everywhere.

    I've never seen a Florida avocado in any produce stand or grocery store in my area. I have seen avocado with produce stickers that say Peru and Mexico. They can ship an avocado from another country. Florida avocado can't ship across the country.

      Yes, Hass is 95% of the market. I'm trying to change that.

    Jeez, that hurricane Milton is going to be a tough one, I sincerely hope you guys will be okay. From the radar I can see that in about 6 hours, the hurricane will be at land and the winds will start picking up. From what I've seen, it's not looking too good for the city called Tampa. There is a chance that the insanely ferocious winds will miss you guys, but you will probably get winds gusting at about 80 mph with a lot of heavy rain. Again, I hope your grove and farm will not be destroyed like Irma or perhaps Katrina. Stay safe!
