I'd just like to say a few words about where things are for me. I closed the Tropical Fruit Tree nursery in Davie May 2022. This was the 2nd location of "Spyke's Grove". The 1st was a grocery store on 2nd Ave in Downtown Ft Lauderdale, that was back in the 1940's. When I closed the Davie location I technically retired, yay me. My brother Pete who has always been the citrus grower of the family was still out working the family groves. He and his wife Cindy had the picking and shipping responsibilities. They are also retiring. So the 2022-23 was the last for Spyke's Grove.
I sure appreciate all of the years you have been a part of Spyke's Grove and love when you share your stories with me. I have so many wonderful memories of Spyke's Grove, it's been my life for almost 50 years. I've "been in charge" since Dad died 40 years ago. Its a long time and I am now enjoying my retirement. Thank you for allowing me to have such a wonderful life at this 3rd generation family business. Best to you, Barbara
It's been a fun season at the Packing House helping Brother Pete and Sister in Law Cindy. I haven't managed a crew like that for 15 years. At first it was a little overwhelming but like riding a bike, day by day it all came back to me. I apologize that I was hard to reach over the holiday shipping season, I did not anticipate my cell phone not working and the limited time to return calls. However, I think the quality of the packages were better than ever and shipments went out very timely. The fruit tasted great, my go to fruit was the Orlando Tangelos. Orlandos are easy to peel so I could grab one on the run. If you haven't ever tried one you should. Here's a pic of one of the final semi shipments heading north. Thank you, Barbara
