Check with the Thrifty market chains... I know they do buy from local growers and cater to Caribbean tastes. Here in Palm Bay we have a large Thrifty and several other stores very similar (Bravo, Downtown Produce), and a large Caribbean population. So many that even our local Walmart sells burros, reds,Manzanos and sometimes others.
