Lychee and Mango are just coming into season on Pine Island. You can buy them at the great farm market at the corner of Veteran's Parkway and Pine Island Road, or the farm market at Baypoint Road in Bokeelia, which is open only on the weekend. Also, there is a farm on Cubles Drive in Bokeelia selling Lychee. I love both mango and lychee and have been eating one or two mango's every day. Lychee are selling for $3.99 per pound, so those are a more rare delicacy. Did you know that Pine Island is probably the most agricultural island in Florida? In addition to tropical fruit, a wide variety of tropical trees are grown here, and some people also raise cattle, horses and various fowl. I met a woman last month who is raising turkeys.
