About Us

Welcome to Urban Fruit Forest — Where Small Spaces Grow Big Flavor.

What started as a backyard hobby in 2018 quickly blossomed into a full-blown passion for growing tropical fruit in the most unexpected places — patios, balconies, even apartment corners.

My name is KJ, and I’m the grower behind Urban Fruit Forest. Based right here in Lakeland, Florida, I’ve spent years learning how to transform small urban spaces into thriving fruit-producing jungles. Everything I sell — from mangoes to pitcher plants — I personally grow myself. No middlemen. No mass production. Just real fruit from a real grower.

I specialize in helping others grow tropical fruit in tight spaces. Whether you're working with a small patio, a sunlit balcony, or a cozy backyard, I’m here to show you that it’s more than possible — it’s deliciously rewarding. Everything we grow can be kept in a pot, making this lifestyle accessible to anyone, anywhere.

At Urban Fruit Forest, this is more than a business — it’s a movement to reconnect with our food, our plants, and the natural joy of growing something real, no matter where you live.

So whether you’re just getting started or looking to level up your plant game, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

Let’s grow something amazing — even if it’s just outside your sliding glass door.
