Lots is happening at Robert Is Here, the iconic fruit stand in Homestead. The Moehlings were named Dade County Farm Family of the Year for 2019 by the Dade County Farm Bureau. The family farmstand, named for 6-year-old Robert when he sold vegetables to passersby, has bloomed into a year-round headquarters for tropical fruits and vegetables, fruit smoothies, guacamole and other products. There’s also a play area with animals for kids, regular activities, old farm equipment and artwork, too.
