Happy Friday. The weather is crisp and clear, which means it’s the perfect time to head outdoors. No, we’re not talking about camping.

Simon Stojanovic knows his way around good, local product.

Sitting on the front porch at Lorenzo in South Beach on a bright afternoon, a crew of reality TV stars bickers in French. They reek of cologne and spray-on tan. The leader, a stern man with slick hair and a crisp button-down shirt, looks like a portly Bruce Jenner. His…
Locall’s Organic Growth, a fruit and vegetable shop in South Beach, is tiny. Owner Kirsten Hartburg prefers it that way. “It’s a small space because we keep our produce fresh. Everything here is picked in the morning,” she says. At her quaint store, which opened in December in the backroom…
