Our Story
A Family Passion for Exceptional Fruit
Andrew, Indya, and Emery share a genuine passion for fruit—not just the familiar varieties, but the unusual, hard-to-find, and truly exceptional ones.
As a family, we love discovering new flavors, seeking out varieties we have never experienced before, and finding those special fruits that are worth growing for years to come. That passion is at the heart of our nursery. We grow the varieties that excite us, learn about what makes each one unique, and share them with others who are just as passionate about growing and enjoying great fruit.
What began as a love for eating incredible fruit has grown into a family passion for discovering, growing, and sharing exceptional fruit trees with our community.
Our Homestead
Indya grew up right next door to our now homestead, so it has been a familiar part of her life for as long as she can remember. Over the years, the property has been thoughtfully planted with a variety of fruit trees, many of which are now well established. Its history with fruit trees goes back even further, including beautiful lychee trees that are now around 80 years old.
Today, we are fortunate to build on what was already here—caring for the established trees while creating our own small food forest and adding new and unique varieties along the way. It is a place where a long history of growing fruit meets our family’s passion for discovering, growing, and sharing it.
As our collection grew, so did our appreciation for the incredible diversity of tropical and subtropical fruit. We discovered that many of the varieties we were excited to grow were also difficult for other fruit enthusiasts to find. What began as a personal passion naturally grew into a small home nursery as we began sharing these trees with others.
Today, our nursery remains small, family-run, and located right here in Sebring, Florida. We enjoy planting and caring for our fruit trees, discovering new and unique varieties, and sharing that experience with others.
Whether you're planting your first fruit tree, building a backyard orchard, or creating your own food forest, our goal is simple: to provide a large and diverse selection of healthy, quality trees to help make it easier for others to grow and enjoy exceptional fruit for themselves.
More About Us
A Little About Us
We are a small family with a shared love of fruit, plants, music, learning, and spending time together. We enjoy a plant-based lifestyle and homeschool our daughter, finding plenty of opportunities to learn and explore together along the way.
We also hope to make our nursery a place where people can connect, learn, and share their own interests. From plant-based potlucks and fruit tastings to homeschool gatherings and other family-friendly events, we look forward to creating opportunities to bring our community together around the things we love.
A Little About Indya
Indya is an important part of both our family and the nursery. She has a love for music and creativity and enjoys writing songs, singing, dancing, practicing yoga, paddleboarding, and spending time with family.
One of her favorite things is creating music with Emery and sharing those creative experiences together. She also enjoys being involved around the nursery, discovering new fruits and plants, and helping bring our family’s vision for the nursery to life.
A Little About Andrew
Andrew is deeply involved in the nursery and in the day-to-day work of growing and caring for our trees. He enjoys working with plants, building and improving the nursery, and continually learning about fruit trees and different varieties.
Outside of the nursery, Andrew has a strong interest in personal growth, history, and lifelong learning. Most of all, he enjoys spending time with Indya, Emery, and the family.
For Andrew, the nursery is more than a business. It is something the family can build together—a place to learn, grow, and share a passion for exceptional fruit with others.
A Little About Emery
Emery is our daughter and an important part of our family and life at the nursery. She is curious, energetic, creative, and always eager to learn something new.
She loves gymnastics, reading, cooking, decorating, dressing up, playing, and spending time with animals—especially cats. She also loves trying new fruits and enjoys helping around the nursery whenever she gets the chance.
Emery has a natural curiosity about the world around her and loves exploring, asking questions, and discovering new things. She also has a wonderful sense of humor and loves to laugh.
Her creativity has recently found its way into music as well. She has begun exploring songwriting and recently shared her song, “Fall Again.” We love watching her interests develop and seeing the unique person she is becoming.
