Default Re: Central Florida Farms

Ah, ha-ha, haa, ahhh, memories.

I got all of my bananas from Central Florida Farms (CFF) I guess 2 years ago. My experience was like everyone else's--I ordered, Paypal was hit, then nothing for weeks. E-mails bounce. No phone numbers. Then I Googled, and saw the horror show, and thought, "AAAGGGHHH! Shoulda Googled FIRST!"

I forget how, but I figured out how to get the phone number of the place. I called and spoke to the guy's wife, she was very apologetic, said the order would go out ASAP, and sure enough it showed up a few days later, with two extra banana plants as a courtesy for my inconvenience. They were in great condition, very nicely wrapped, and were sent FedEx overnight. It appears I WAS LUCKY. I will add however that the "Ladyfinger" I ordered turned out to be a praying hands. Can't really complain, though.

I am one of the posters on that review site (Oblofusc/Ted Avellone).
