Tree-Ripe  Citrus

Update (5/8/12)

The weather is warming up, which means the Georgia peach season is just around the corner. The peach trees bloomed in March, and were thinned out in April. Now, the peaches are steadily growing, and we hope to begin our season in either late June or early July.

The Michigan blueberry crop seems to have made it through the frosty conditions this spring, though we still have our fingers crossed. If all turns out well, we expect to have blueberries on our routes again as soon as they are available. Check back in June for more news, and be sure to follow us on Facebook!

The 2011-2012 Florida citrus season and beyond...

We were disappointed that we could not makes deliveries as usual with the Florida citrus this past winter, but many factors influenced our decision to suspend our winter routes this season, including dwindling availability of fruit and increasing fuel costs in recent years, among other considerations.

However, in February/March, we were able to order a truckload of Temple oranges and Marsh Ruby grapefruit, and were pleased to be able to offer them to our customers via Home Shipping. Due to the limited supply and the cost involved in a mailing, we did not send out notices via mail, instead we notified customers who are signed up to our Email List - so be sure to add your email for special offers and season notices!

Being our first large-scale shipping effort, we were thrilled that the process went smoothly with very few hiccups, and given the tremendous response we received from our wonderful customers, we hope to be able to offer citrus again next winter in some manner; either through our routes, through home shipping, or possibly a combination of both. But rest assured, we definitely wish to continue providing the finest Navels, Honeybells, Temples, & Grapefruit that Florida has to offer!
