The Coconut Cartel

Description

• During a trip to El Salvador in January 2013, Mike Zig discovered a farm that grew some of the best tasting coconuts in the world. While playing golf one day, Mikes friend poked a hole into a coconut with a key, threw in a straw, and handed it to him. Born and raised in Miami, Mike grew up on coconuts, but he had never encountered a coconut that was so easy to open or as delicious as this one. After a little research, Mike soon learned that this rare breed of coconut came from an abandoned coconut farm that Almond Joy candies had planted in the region over 100 years ago. Determined to spread the word about these rare and delicious coconuts, Mike filled up his luggage with as many coconuts as he could and smuggled them back to Miami. After receiving overwhelmingly positive feedback from friends and influencers in the local food/beverage industry, Mike enlisted his sister, Danielle Zighelboim, a Babson graduate, to help him build a business while he developed a brand. Since then, the sibling duo has been the driving force behind the hustle, smuggling coconuts into the hands of influential celebrities such as: Drake, Martha Stewart, Prince Harry, Adrian Grenier, Steve Tyler, Kendall Jenner, Bobby Flay... and pretty much every celebrity in between.
