Hale Ruby Red Grapefruit:

These luxurious gift fruits are descended from the royal mandarin orange – highly prized in the Orient for its plentiful juice and richly honeyed flavor.

Individually judged and selected for size and flavor, our beautiful, thinskinned Ruby Reds are blushing red inside, dripping with sweet nectar.

The Magnifique Ortanique:

Dazzling Deep Red Grapefruit:

Originally from Jamaica, this rare natural hybrid features the incredibly luscious sweetness you’d expect from its partorange, part-tangerine heritage.

Valencia Oranges: Ripened on the tree for up to a full year, this unique gourmet fruit produces more natural sugar - and juice - than any other variety. You’ll taste the difference!

The Alligator Smile Variety’s the key: Our connoisseur’s collection delivers six different kinds of premium citrus fruit. You and your friends’ll be smiling too when you lift the lid on this extraordinary gourmet collection. Bright and fragrant, it’s a virtual “Who’s Who” of springtime’s sweetest and finest Indian River fruit – generous, shareable and totally unique.

These striking newcomers feature a warm, crimson blush on the outside – and delicious, dark red flesh on the inside. Seedless, too.

Sweet White Grapefruit: Our classic Old Florida variety: One of the earliest-known, bestloved citrus grown anywhere today. The kind of juicy flavor that legends are made of.

Florida sunshine delivered fresh

The Magnifique Ortanique Part Orange, Part Tangerine. Wholly Delicious! According to Jamaican folklore, this lovable variety originated with the help of a pair of lovebirds – he living in an orange tree, she in a tangerine tree. These days, the very finest examples of this natural hybrid cross are grown here in the unique microclimate of Florida, where soil, sunlight, water and temperature combine to produce fruit that’s the envy of other fruitgrowing regions. You’ll find them incredibly luscious and juicy, with a flavor that combines the best of both. They’re easy to cut and section, perfect for juicing or eating fresh out of hand. They make a sweet gift for your own special lovebird, too. But hurry: Ortaniques have a short season, and are harvested only for a few brief weeks each spring.

“

These Ortaniques are absolutely delicious! All in good shape! Sweet — full of flavor and very juicy. Everyone in the family rave about them. Yummy, yummy!!

Magnifique Ortaniques

The secret ingredient is their fresh, fabulous, just-picked taste! If you like Temple Oranges, you’ll love Ortaniques.

For gifts or guests

We’ve worked a sweet deal with the honeybees. They can help themselves to our orange blossoms … and we get to share their fabulous honey with our customers. Each season our local beekeepers set up their hives amongst the trees in our groves, and Mother Nature takes over from there. Different pollens produce different flavors of honey, but the high quality and wonderful character of our orange blossom pollen – and other native pollens – let the bees produce smooth, golden honeys that are the envy of honey-lovers everywhere. How sweet is that?

Authentic Deep South Honeys Distinctive flavors, colors and character supermarket honey just can’t match. It’s a win-win situation: Citrus growers get their trees pollinated ... and local beekeepers get to make extraordinary honeys like these! Our naturally flavorful gourmet collection of four Old Florida flavors: Palmetto, Tupelo, Orange Blossom and Wildflower. Try some on toast or in your next cup of tea.

No, it’s not trick photography! Our Valencia Orange trees actually start blooming for next year – before we harvest the current crop!

It’s your guarantee that our Valencias are the sweetest and freshest available anywhere. Order yours today!
