Maxwell Groves Country Store
About the Business
Maxwell Groves Country Store, located at 607 East Circle Street in Avon Park, Florida, is a charming institution that has been serving customers for over 86 years. What started as a small fruit stand has now expanded into a packinghouse with a country store that offers a unique and welcoming atmosphere.
Visitors can relax on the sprawling front porch in orange rockers while enjoying homemade orange ice cream and taking in the cool breeze. The store offers a variety of fresh fruit, including freshly squeezed orange juice, Florida wines, local honey, jams, and jellies. One of their specialties is their famous dairy-free soft serve ice cream, available in flavors like creamsicle, lemonade, key-lime, and vanilla.
Customers can also sample the ice cream before purchasing and can even ship fruit to loved ones from the store's authentic Old Florida setting. In addition to fruit and ice cream, Maxwell Groves Country Store carries 20 flavors of Hershey's ice cream for dairy lovers to enjoy.
During the fruit season from October to May, visitors can choose from a variety of fruits such as Ruby Red Grapefruit, Navels, Tangelos, Honeybells, and more. The store also offers complimentary samples of freshly squeezed Florida orange juice, made in-house from locally sourced citrus.
With recent changes due to COVID-19, visitors are encouraged to check the store's website, social media, or Google business pages for updated business hours.

"Fun place to stop, buy delicious fresh fruit, and enjoy a treat. Learned a lot about the orange groves and history of the area. Wonderful family run business. They are also on Harvest Host/Boondockers Welcome."
"This place has the most amazing ice cream. They have soft, serve orange, and lemonade ice cream. It was absolutely delicious. Cute little store with fresh honey and orange juice."
"Wonderful family run country store. Owners are lovely, atmosphere is really special. Ice cream is delicious and they offer dairy free options also. The fresh orange juice is the best I have ever tasted!"
"What a find! I was looking forward to the Orange "ice cream" and it didn't disappoint! Is licking the bottom of the bowl tacky?!? So good and dairy free. There's room to park an RV across the street, enjoy the "ice cream" on the porch and do some shopping."
"Fun stop with lots of history. Free taste of their unbelievably delicious orange juice (so much flavour!), and don't miss the ice cream. Such a treat :) Plenty of local honey to choose from, with a good selection of souvenirs and general store products, too. Absolutely worth a visit if you are in the area. Grab a cone of orange soft serve and relax for a minute on the front porch!"
