About this audio guide
This guide to Robert Is Here Fruit Stand near Homestead traces its start on a Saturday in 1959, when six-year-old Robert Moehling sat at a roadside table trying to sell his father's surplus cucumbers, and the hand-painted sign that finally got a car to stop. It follows the stand's growth into a market through his teens and twenties, up to August 1992, when Robert lost his mother and his farm within the same terrible month. Listen at the milkshake counter, near the old tortoise that still lives out back.
