2026 Lychee Sale
Updates
06/07/26 #2
Shipped orders we've paused Mauritius orders for today. We may open a few more spots tomorrow — check back if you didn't get an order in today.
06/07/26
Shipped orders we have a batch of Mauritius lychee shipping Monday June 8th or Tuesday June 9th, arriving the next day. This may be our only significant Mauritius shipment of the season — if you're interested, please order soon.
06/05/26
Shipped orders sorry for the delay — this season is unusually difficult: a winter chill pushed things back, and most farms in the region have little to no lychee. We're still finalizing how much we can ship (answer in the next day or two), but we will fall short of demand.
Variety outlook: Mauritius — very limited · Sweetheart — somewhat limited · Brewster — moderate
We'll email our list in the next day or two, in order of how long you've been a customer — longest customers first — then open general orders if inventory allows. Orders will go out gradually over the next 2–3 weeks as lychee ripens.
💡 Not on our list? Submit your email above.
We've updated our pricing to reflect this year's extremely limited supply and lower shipping volume. We understand if that's a dealbreaker — we're sorry about that, and hope to see you next year when things are hopefully back to normal.
As always, thank you for your support. It keeps us going. 🙂
06/04/26
Local customers we've opened up additional pickup slots — June 5th (5–7pm) and June 6th (during Farm Stand hours). We'll be adding inventory as it becomes available, so check back for updates.
⚠️ Walk-ins during Farm Stand: lychee available for walk-ins will be limited — we can't predict when we'll run out, so a pre-purchased order is the safest bet.

Questions — Ordering & Shipping
What does "Next Day shipping" mean?
We ship via FedEx Priority Overnight for out-of-state orders, and UPS Ground for Florida orders (which also arrives the next day). "Priority Overnight" refers to the shipping method — your order may take longer than usual this season — we're working through our queue as lychee becomes available and ripens, so shipments are going out gradually. We ship Monday–Thursday (Thursday weather permitting).
Can I request a specific delivery date or avoid a certain date?
Yes — use the "Special instructions for seller" box at checkout to let us know. We will work around your schedule if possible, or let you know if we cannot accommodate the request.
We also recommend signing up for FedEx Delivery Manager or UPS My Choice (both free) before ordering. They let you redirect your package to a convenient pickup location so it stays out of the heat until you're ready later that day.
What if my shipment is delayed?
Weather and logistics delays can happen even with Priority Overnight, but in our experience packages hold up well even with a 1-day delay — we pack every box with insulation and an ice pack. If your package is delayed, please wait for it to arrive and inspect the condition before contacting us. Once you have the package, if there is a quality issue, reach out and we'll address it on a case-by-case basis.
Why can't I add other products to my cart with lychees?
Lychee orders must be checked out separately from other products. Lychees require special packaging and handling, and mixing them with other items creates complications for our operations. Non-lychee products can be ordered using regular shipping, although during lychee season we will likely not be shipping other products.
Can you split my order into smaller bags?
Unfortunately, no. We cannot split a 10 lb order into two 5 lb bags, for example. Keeping orders to our standard sizes helps us move quickly and get everyone's fruit out fresh. We appreciate your understanding!
Do you ship to California, Hawaii, or internationally?
No — due to agricultural import regulations, we are unable to ship lychees to California, Hawaii, or outside the United States.
What if I'm not happy with the taste?
We guarantee fresh, high-quality fruit — we only ship during the peak quality window, which is why our season is short. However, we cannot guarantee specific taste, sweetness, seed size, color, or juiciness. These vary naturally from fruit to fruit, and personal preferences differ. We cannot offer refunds based on taste expectations. That said, the vast majority of customers are delighted!
About Lychees
Lychee is a subtropical fruit originating in South China. The lychee fruit is about 1½ to 2 inches in size, with bumpy red skin and an oval to rounded heart-shape. Once the peel is removed, the flesh of lychee fruit is white or pinkish, translucent and glossy like the consistency of a grape. Lychee fruit is high in the antioxidant Vitamin C and essential mineral Potassium.
Other products — We also ship Longan, typically starting in July.
Questions about lychees
When is lychee season?
In the South-Florida region—where we grow our lychees—the season is from late May to early July.
Which lychee varieties do you grow?
Brewster, Mauritius, and a limited quantity of Sweetheart lychees. The majority of what we grow are the Mauritius variety.
The Sweetheart lychees we grow are currently only sold locally and for an additional cost. We may offer these online in the future.
Can I order a specific lychee variety?
We will try to make Brewster available as it becomes ready later in the season than Mauritius, but there is no guarantee we will have ample quantity to sell.
Can I pick lychees myself at the farm?
Unfortunately, during lychee season, activity on the farm is in high gear. It would be too challenging for us to also handle guests picking lychees during that time.
How to pronounce lychee?
The typical American pronunciation is lee-chee. That is in contrast to the British pronunciation, which is lai-chee.
What's the difference between lychee and litchi?
They are the same fruit. Both words come from China, but lychee comes from the Cantonese word for the fruit while litchi comes from the Mandarin word for it. Interesting, huh?
How to eat lychees?
That's right. This ain't no grape. You can't just pop 'em. You gotta peel them, but like everyone else who has tried lychee, you are going to soon start to wonder how do I get as many of these things inside my mouth as fast as humanly possible?
The trick is to not peel the whole thing—just peel off half the shell. Then use the other half as a holder, and bring the lychee to your mouth, then squeeze. Yum. Now do that 500 more times.
NOTE: Definitive how-to-eat-a-lychee video coming soon.
How to store lychees?
We pick, pack, and ship our fruit with care to ensure the freshest quality. The fruit is perishable and susceptible to light bruising and browning once picked and are best eaten as soon as you receive them. See this for more details.
Can you freeze lychees?
Absolutely! You can put them in a zip-lock freezer bag and toss them in the freezer. They will stay good for 6–12 months. When you are ready to eat them, let them thaw and then enjoy.
What else can you do with lychees?
There's a bunch. You can use them in cooking. You can make a mango lychee smoothie. You can make a lychee cocktail, like a lychee martini.
Or how about trying Lychee Ceviche served at our favorite restaurant, STAGE Kitchen & Bar, in Palm Beach Gardens.
What are the benefits of lychee?
They generally help with contentment with one's existence as a human being. Side effects may include intense pleasure and overwhelming good taste.
What does lychee taste like?
It is a combination of sweet and tart but with an additional element that is not describable—a flavor that is unique to lychees. One can only experience it to truly know. :)
Where to buy lychees?
Well.... you can of course go to your local Asian grocery store and pick some up. Maybe even your local mainstream grocery store has them in stock occasionally. Those are nice introductions to the fruit. However, nothing compares to getting fresh lychees delivered to you.
The bright red color and full taste are simply incomparable. So when lychee season comes around, we suggest you order from us. You're going to wish you ordered more.
