The Benefits of Buying Honeybells Direct from the Grower

You can buy Honeybells and other citrus fruits directly from the grower, or you can buy them in the supermarket. However there are some distinct advantages that come from buying citrus fruit directly from the grower, especially when you are buying specialty fruits like Honeybells or Clementines. Check out these advantages that come with buying delicious citrus fruit direct from the farm instead of waiting to get it at your local market:

You will be assured of getting some – Honeybells and other specialty fruits have limited growing seasons. Honeybells, for example, are only available for a couple of months each year. Often the grower will sell out the entire crop before the fruit is even ready to be picked because people will pre-order the fruit. If you wait to pick up delicious Honeybells at the store your choices will be slim and you may not get any at all. Pre-ordering directly from the grower is the best way to make sure that you will be able to get a box of sweet Honeybells when they are in season.

You will healthier fruit- Citrus fruits like Honeybells that are produced for market have to travel by truck all over the country. In order to keep the fruit fresh and looking bright and colorful the fruit is sprayed with preservatives and chemicals. Farm fresh fruit is shipped quickly to you directly from the farm with no other stops so it is not sprayed with chemicals or preservatives. You get farm fresh fruit just the way it was picked without any additives at all. Farm fresh is the best way to enjoy delicious Honeybells and other healthy citrus fruits.

You can buy large quantities – Often the market has limited supplies of citrus fruits, especially specialty fruits like Clementines or Honeybells. When you order direct from the grower you can order a crate or box of citrus fruit, a huge fruit basket, or you can join the fruit club and have piles of healthy citrus fruit delivered to your door every month. If you want to keep your home well stocked with nutritious citrus fruits the easy way to do that is to order large quantities of fruit directly from the farm.

You are supporting small businesses – Many citrus farms are family owned and operated, meaning that your money is going to support small independently owned businesses and not huge conglomerates. Many people like to know that their purchase is directly supporting people and not just a company.
