The Grimal Grove is About Passion!

The Grimal Grove is a once in a lifetime venture that fuses a legendary tale with a local food
movement, and now a burgeoning enterprise.The Grimal Grove is the first
agricultural venture of its kind in the Florida Keys in the last 50 years. It
has a great historical significance as well as a crucial agricultural impact. The
Grimal Grove is the backbone of a growing cultural awareness centered on a local
food movement in the Florida Keys.

A lasting Vision

The Grimal Grove is a small farm and botanical
garden. Its primary purpose is to grow food for the community. The secondary
purpose of the grove is it is a community resource: botanical garden, tours,
research, education, the arts, and events.

Being only a 2 acre property, space is limited. A
sustainable model needed to be created for the public. The grove will be open
on a limited basis, daily tours, workshops, classes, private events will be
offered with the exception of two large public events annually. We believe a
low impact footprint is essential for the health of the garden and the
neighborhood.

All business will be conducted at the Grimal Grove retail
store on US1.
