The "Golden" Passion Fruit - Why farms in the USA do not grow it.
The so-called golden passion fruit is a marketing name for Maracuya which is the sour version of purple passion fruit. Maracuya (golden) is actually the old rootstock/ primitive version of the new sweet purple passion fruit so popular today. It is only known in the USA as a juice only fruit, not desert eating. It is "rare" here as there is no demand for it - therefore, one one grows it. Thus the "rareness",
For first time customers: We grow our passion fruit vines completely sustainable - even the trellis are the remnants of our old lemon orchard. The vines are grown alongside and in between our avocado orchard and the sheddings of fruit, leaves and limbs from both the vines and avocado trees nurtures the other. We have not had to fertilize in any fashion since we installed this sustainable method. This represents a savings in time, money and environmental issues with respect to groundwater resources.
As we are all aware there is nothing more important to our health than clean water and clean land. Here at White Dove Farm we have dedicated ourselves and this land to that ideal.
