The new Knaus Berry Farm is finally opening in the Redland. Here’s what we know
In what has to be one of the most anticipated openings of the year for Miami, the new Knaus Berry Farm is finally ready for business.
The iconic farm stand, which reopens Dec. 22 with new owners, will serve its beloved cinnamon rolls, milkshakes and baked goods at its new space at 16790 SW 177th Ave. in the Redland, a few miles north of the original Homestead location.
Created by brothers Ray and Russell Knaus as a modest fruit stand in 1956, the market has become a Miami institution. To preserve that legacy, the new owners, who include restaurant veteran Joel White and other local investors, have retained Knaus employees and recipes.
Longtime bakery manager Thomas Blocher, who is remaining as a kitchen consultant to keep an eye on the consistency of the famous cinnamon rolls, said that the Knaus family, who will also act as consultants, are pleased with the new team of owners and their respect for Knaus history.
“The family felt it was time for a change, not in product or brand, but in the overall vision,” he said. “We wanted someone who would carry on the tradition of commitment to quality and community, individuals who are appreciative, respectful and aligned with the spirit of Knaus Berry Farm.”
Staying true to traditions while improving customer experience is a big factor for the new Knaus. Some of the original kitchen equipment has found its way to the new location, while other elements have been upgraded to keep up with Miami’s relentless demand for baked goods.
There is also more parking and shade for people waiting in line. Customers can also pay with credit cards and, with an eye toward alleviating the farm’s long weekend lines, Knaus is now open on Sundays (though closed on Monday).
The products and recipes will remain the same, with prices virtually untouched: Cinnamon rolls are $1.45 apiece, $8.90 for half a dozen and $17.40 for a dozen. Milkshakes are $6.60 for a small and $8 for a large, with cakes and cheesecakes running $12-$13.
One thing that won’t be available this season due to the move: U-pick strawberries. White said the plan is to reopen the U-pick fields next season.
But otherwise White said that sticking to what has worked since the 1950s is vital to him and his team.
“We’re honored to carry on a 70-year South Florida tradition,” he said.
