Freshness You Can Taste

WHY FLORIDA CITRUS IS SEASONAL

Unlike many fruits that are harvested early for long-distance storage, Florida citrus is picked when each variety reaches its peak flavor. Every orange, grapefruit, and Honeybell has its own natural harvest window, which is why different varieties become available throughout the season.

Florida sunshine, warm days, and cool winter nights allow citrus to mature slowly on the tree, developing the sweetness, juiciness, and flavor that make fresh Florida citrus so distinctive.

Nature determines the harvest. We simply ship each variety when it's at its very best.
