About Grimal Grove

Grimal Grove is a working tropical fruit farm and educational center in Big Pine Key dedicated to preserving rare and historic fruit trees. Visitors explore the grove on guided tours that unearth the legend of Adolf Grimal, the grove's founder, while discovering and tasting fresh tropical fruits. The farm is home to the only breadfruit grove in the continental United States, showcasing breadfruit trees that produce fruit with a texture reminiscent of bread when cooked. The grove also hosts the Cultural Dinner series, which showcases culinary traditions and dishes from tropical regions around the world. Grimal Grove has partnered with Mutiny Island Vodka to produce spirits made solely from Florida Keys breadfruit, representing the first spirit made from Florida Keys agriculture. The grove emphasizes sustainable farming practices and biodiversity, with breadfruit trees that help sequester carbon from the atmosphere and improve soil health. A visit suits those interested in tropical agriculture, culinary exploration, and learning about sustainable farming methods.
