Where can I find miracle fruit in Chicago?

Are you against ordering it online? I bought some from this guy and hosted a party when they arrived.

I'd be happy to split an order with you. I'm not in Chicago, but have been looking for someone to share a shipment with me (the minimum order from the Miracle Fruit Man that @piratebowling mentions is waaaaay more than I think I should ever need).

Hit me up via MeFiMail if you (or any other food dorks out there!) like the idea and wanna share.

FYI, an organization I'm involved with in Atlanta has such a party (open to the public) in the works.

I looked around at ordering online last week -- pretty much everyone (except possibly the guy linked above) is backordered. Unless you want to order a whole friggin plant from Florida.

Here's a list of suppliers, from the Miracle Taste forums though

I'd be in for 1/3 of an order or so. Mefi mail me...

I'm in the Chicago area and would also be up for splitting a shipment (and managing the logistics, if need be). I'll be watching this thread with interest.

I'd go in on a shipment too. Chi-town cooperates!~

Count me in for a Chicago shipment as well.

Well, I don't really want to purchase any, but if any of you has a miracle fruit party with your part of the shipment, I promise to bring booze if you invite me.

I am most certainly interested in splitting part of an order, and in attending such a party! (I'm in Chicago)
