New York Fruit Hunters

Durians, lychees, rambutan, monstera, mangosteen, cherimoya, mangoes, passion fruit, june berries, gooseberries, currents. Meet others who share your passion for fruits. We'll shop for fruits together around the city (Chinatown, Queens etc), take trips to pick your own farms, and plan trips to Malaysia, Hawaii, Brazil, Thailand and other faraway places with exotic fruits.

Inspired by Adam Leith Gollner "Fruit Hunters" - a must read for any fruit lover.

"My name is Rob and I have become inspired to introduce more fruit into my diet. After reading the book the 80/10/10 Diet it makes sense to me that human beings were designed to eat a predominantly fruit based diet. I look forward to meeting you all."
