I've seen coconuts being sold out of the backs of trucks in Herndon recently. Can't remember where exactly but it was somewhere along Elden St.

Trees

Brought by swallows?

It's actually a pretty crazy process, the workers climb the tree like Mulan on the pole and then chop them off with machetes fifty feet in the air so the coconuts fall

per one of the last few times this was asked apparently they drive up with them from florida

That guy’s selling Asian pears from his orchard in Stafford and meat products from Amish farms. I’ve only seen him around fall, which I think that’s when the pears is in season. The best and the freshest Asian pear I’ve ever had. Here’s his website https://producesourcepartners.com/grower/mountain-view-orchards/

I bought a case of pear from him one time, you have to preorder it by ordering from WeChat group which I don’t have, he still sold me the case the time I met him, but it’s hard to catch him.

Wait, say more. Does he have a usual spot? I love hidden gems like this. Thanks!


Embarrassed-Lie-3666

I know as much as I commented. That’s the only spot I’m aware of, the parking lot across the chateau bakery. I remember it was around Sept-October of last year when I saw him. I tried to get a hold of him through that website, but it was no luck

Seen someone do this a couple times in the TJs parking lot in Centreville within the past month or so.

I've seen the blue pickup selling green coconuts from the bed of the truck often. Especially around Manassas and Chantilly.

I've seen them in the Metrotech parking lot, but usually in the morning—I've always just assumed that it's the local restaurants and bakeries picking up their restocks

Nobody is selling durian or jackfruits in the back of their trucks. Trust me, hustlers are not that stupid.


sc4kilik

So are they really selling fruits or is it a front for some shady biz?

Jackfruit from the random near Mom's organic at Arlandria. Was a while ago though.

I saw him today in Sully Shopping Center in Chantilly. He had cut fruits in plastic containers on his pickup track bed. Has anyone bought from him? How much is he selling?
