A Look Inside the Groves – 2026 May Grove Update!

Citrus Season is Coming to A Close

Quiet Mornings in the Groves

There’s a quiet settling starting to happen in our heritage groves during these days, the kind of peaceful transition that comes when another season prepares to close its chapter. Soon, the final Navel Oranges, Ruby Red Grapefruit, and Sweet Tangerines will be gathered from trees that have given generously all season long.

We can feel it in the morning air – that subtle shift when nature whispers it’s time to rest. The same trees that burst with life and fruit will soon turn their energy inward, preparing for the long summer sleep that makes next winter’s harvest possible.

The Rhythm of Seasons

There’s something deeply satisfying about this ancient rhythm. As the last citrus finds its way from our groves to your table, our farmers begin the gentle work of tending soil and caring for trees that will spend the summer months gathering strength. It’s the kind of patient farming that built these groves generations ago.

Until We Meet Again

Soon, we’ll bid farewell to this season’s Navels, grapefruit, and tangerines, knowing they’ll return when the time is right. There’s comfort in this certainty – that good things come to those who wait, and the best fruit comes from trees that rest well.

Order your final taste of this season’s Navels, Grapefruit, and Tangerines while these final weeks remain. Once the trees rest, the waiting begins until winter’s return.
