For our tropical fruits, many of our farms are less than 5 acres small, and for them, paying for organic certification is not feasible. That being said, much of our fruit is actually Certified USDA Organic, and the fruits that aren't certified are unsprayed and pesticide free. We partner with all our farms and we ensure that the practices they use are safe and sustainable. We harvest all of these fruits ourselves and we ensure that they are not sprayed with pesticides.
The exception to this are the few fruits that we don't actually grow here in the Miami area, and we must get imported from other countries. Those fruits are Rambutan, Mangosteen, Durian, and Yellow Dragonfruit. We simply don't know the farming practices used because we've never been to the farms in other countries. That being said, those fruits have thick shells and are never sprayed with chemicals harmful to humans.
If you would like to see where some of our un-certified fruit comes from, here is a link to watch a quick video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?
