Weekly Mango Trivia
Raw, Unfiltered honey (like our mango blossom honey) is a natural antibacterial! It can be applied to toothaches, other bothersome areas or taken daily to prevent infections! It can also help ease seasonal allergies. 
Now that's some good medicine!

Main Navigation

 

Our Florida island-grown mangoes are the best! Promised Land heirloom mangoes are better than organic, naturally delicious and available at the grove in Pineland, FL. Our family has also produced some truly wonderful Mango Preserves and Mango Grove Honey for you, available at our farm stand.

The Old Pineland Mango Grove on Pine Island, Florida, home of "Promised Land" mangoes, was planted on 40 tropical acres just east of the bay separating Pine Island from Sanibel and Captiva in southwest Florida. Welcome to the Promised Land!


                                                    2013 Mango Season Update!
















 








 


 
Hello to all of our wonderful Mango Maniacs! 2013 is off to a great start for us out at the Old Pineland Mango Grove! You should see our crop! These mangoes have just loved the mild, warm winter and they are getting sweeter, softer and closer to being eaten each day. We are confident that our loyal Mango Maniacs (and newcomers!) will especially love this crop. The harvest is well under way and we will be at the grove every weekend through the summer selling our delicious wares. 

Please visit our Mango Sales page for more information on our products and pricing. If you're in the neighborhood on one of these fine hot, Florida Summer weekends, give us a call and stop on by the grove. We'd love to see you!

 If you have any wholesale or special inquiries, now is the time!

Thanks for checking in with us! Pray for good weather and we'll see you soon!

 

                               BTOs     
Better than the others -including organics!

 








We believe that we grow the best mangoes on earth. We call our fruit BTOs (better than the others- including Organic).TM Nothing is sprayed on the fruit: not pesticides, not fungicides.    We believe  poisons that kill bugs can also kill people - regardless of whether the poison is organic or inorganic.       We are committed to protecting the health of our customers, our neighbors, our family and our bees.


Nutrients carried by the easterly sea breezes and the already prolific soil enable us to grow mangoes of the best quality of unrivaled flavor. Just as the “Orchid Island” brand, grown along Jungle Trail near the ocean, has set the standard for the best of grapefruit, so too do the “Promised Land” mangoes from Pine Island excel

Mango Fruit 
We are blessed to have the largest block of Smith mangoes in the United States.  
Our Smiths are usually large, an heirloom variety - - a first cousin to the Kent, the Keitt, and the Valencia Pride. All of these varieties are descended from the Haden which in turn descended from a classic Indian cultivar. Smiths are now being grown around the world with extensive plantings in Australia. 

There is more blush to a Smith than to a Keitt but less than to a Kent or a Valencia Pride. They have the classic mango flavor, a rich peach taste with that hint of pineapple, which mango lovers treasure. 

Seeds are flat and relatively small. This results in large chunks (cheeks) of aromatic fruit, firm of texture, and not stringy. "Promised Land" mangoes: the cobblers are to die for; should that happen, you’ll know you made it to Heaven when an Angel hands you a mango colada.

Yes, Virginia, there are other mangoes. We have some Kents, Carries, and some other varieties. But the Smiths are our creme de le creme.


Mango Delights













 New in 2012! Thanks to the Florida Legislature passing the new Cottage Industry law, we are now selling our wonderful mango preserves and mango grove honey at the grove stand.

We have a lovely assortment of preserves; Jam,  Mango Butter and Chutney, Oh My! We prepare them ourselves and can them using the greatest amount of care and attention to sanitation. We already have quite a following of "Mango Maniacs" who swear by our delicious and healthful preserves. All of our preserves are made with our BTO mangoes and we strive to use the freshest, closest to home products possible.

A truly rare treat is our Mango Grove Honey. Since we can't train the bees, they sometimes tend to go across the street to flowers that are not mango blossoms. But do not despair! We are surrounded by native trees that produce some of the most sought after Florida honey- Mangroves, Sea Grapes and Palmettos. What is produced is a mild,  amber colored honey with a taste that is assured to please any palate. Then, just to sweeten the deal, our honey is Pure, Raw, Unfiltered, and Unheated. It just doesn't get any better!
