Here’s a fine way to enjoy the “insider’s secret” of spring’s most fragrant and delicious varieties. For only a few short weeks, all three of Florida’s most popular spring varieties are available at the same time. Your gift includes our Magnifique Ortaniques, Honey Tangerines and famous Valencia Oranges. Take advantage of this trio of treats while supplies last! 169 (approx. 15 lbs.) . . . . . . . . . . $34.98

Available March through mid-April or while the harvest lasts.

Florida Gold

Sweeter, because they spend more time on the tree - up to a full year in the Florida Sun

No, it’s not trick photography! Our Valencia Orange trees actually start blooming for next year – before we harvest the current crop! While most commercially grown citrus is picked green and held for months in cold storage, we allow our Valencias the ultimate luxury of ripening fully on the tree to achieve their ultimate sweetness. What you see here is proof positive that these prized Oranges sweeten naturally – much longer than any other citrus fruit grown. It’s your guarantee that our Valencias are the sweetest and freshest available anywhere. Order yours today!

When the Valencia arrived I had to try one right away. It was so fresh and juicy it was like a taste of Florida sunshine.

Valencia Oranges

Enjoy the delicious gift of healthy sunshine-fresh citrus filled with lots of juice One of the secrets to growing a naturally sweet vitamin-rich Valencia Orange is to allow it all the time it needs to come to full maturity. Longer on the tree means it soaks up more sunshine and produces more natural sugars than any other citrus variety. Perfect for fresh eating, sectioning, or juicing for everyday breakfast.

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!!

As longtime growers, they share our passion for great-tasting, hard-to-find, premium quality fruit. And we are delighted to share these rare Mangos with you and your friends.

Why Cherries from Hale? 1. They taste great. So, as loyal fruit-lovers, we feel it’s our duty to offer them to you. 2. Best you can buy. We know fine fruit, and we’ve developed close relationships with the top growers in the Pacific Northwest. 3. You owe it to yourself. They’re one of life’s true pleasures. As the philosopher said: “Life’s just a bowl of cherries.” Try some and see.

Sweet Mountain Bing Cherries America’s classic dark red cherry: Sensational taste, only in July. These big, lustrous, long-stemmed cherries are grown in the rarefied air of a few high-altitude orchards in Washington state, where clear starry nights and cold mountain snowmelt produce sweeter, crisper more delicious fruit.
