Have you ever thought of traveling to your favorite fruit? Or traveling to find a completely new fruit that isn't available in your local grocery store? Some hard-to-find fruit that can only be eaten off the vine/branch are Carambola, Soursop, Tahitian Lime, White Sapote, Sapodilla, Black Sapote, Jakfruit, Rollinia, & Roseapple. Most of these aren't in the grocery store because there is no way to get them to the store without the fruit bruising or going bad. They are really really delicate finicky fruit, but good fun to try!
I mean, what if you could eat the Acai Berry from it's stem or eat fresh fruit all day long. This page contains links to various fruit farms and fruit orchards that allow for tasting of fruit from their vines. You can also be adventuresome and inquire about local fruit farms and orchards near your home or near wherever you are traveling to. If you know of a fruit farm or orchard that I should add to my list, please let me know about it.
The first fruit farm I found is in Australia. Here is their contact information:

...but this link will take you there:
Check out this video of Tropical Fruit World and then you can follow the link if you are interested further.
Pickyourown.org is a website where you can find local berry growers and other fruit growers nearby you. It is packed full of valuable information and definitely worth a little bit of investigation. In addition the the 50 United States, Pickyourown.org also has information for the following countries:
• Australia
• Canada
• Japan
• South Africa
• New Zealand
• United Kingdom
Of course, you don't have to go to a destination solely to eat some fruit. For example, you could travel to Hainan province in China and sample different fruit ranging in various types and see which fruit looks the best and most interesting. This is a very amateur video of the possibilities of finding fresh fruit when you travel. Of course, it will be easier to get fruit in tropical areas or in the summertime in the less tropical areas.
I am looking for fruit farms and orchards all around the world to add to this site. If you have a fruit farm or orchard that you have visited, please let me know. Anywhere like Singapore, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, France, Monaco or Brazil.
A college kid in Japan went to a Nashi Pear Fruit Farm in Japan. The blog that he has on it is very interesting and worth the read if you have the time. I have pasted it below. The information for the farm is pasted directly below.
Can't afford to travel to these places? Or simply don't have the time? I found the following premier juice drink to provide all the benefits and nutrients that these fruits provide, but in the convenience of a bottle! If you are interested in trying it, click here.
