Client Success Story: Mia Fruta
Mia Fruta is a local family farm which offers one of the freshest farm-to-table fruits in Florida. “We’re a brother and sister owned and operated farm, and our background in agriculture and cultivating fruits and vegetables in Europe has created an awareness of the need for fresh fruits and vegetables in the United States.
We aim to not only farm seasonal fruits, but also create lifestyle changes within our consumers by showing them that there are healthy and delicious options for snacking.” states owner, Teodora Nica. When Mia Fruta outgrew their kiosk at the Sawgrass Mills Mall, NLP stepped in to provide $125,000 in financing for their expansion. NLP is pleased to provide the necessary capital to contribute towards their future success!

Haydee retired as a long-time office manager to spend more time caring for her son. She is also a committed volunteer at a hunger relief organization.
Haydee was thrilled to find Blue Sky Brandon Apartments in large part because of the affordable rents. According to Haydee, “the apartment layout and new development are truly beautiful. I’m also very happy with the office staff. When I need maintenance done, the job is completed within 24 hours.” From her perspective, it is a wonderful place for her and her son to live.
