Seasonal produce,

How does Fruit Delivery work?

A stack of oranges being weighed during harvest

The navel orange season runs from December through April, with the sugar content increasing as the season progresses. We offer oranges every week until we are sold out, or the oranges are past their prime, whichever comes first. Send us your email and we'll add you to our customer list. Then, every few weeks before we pick, we will send you an email alerting you to the harvest and inviting you to place an order. We will also list the other fruit we may have available at the time such as avocado, white sapote, limes, lemons, mangos, orange blossom honey, etc. Securely place your order and look for the fruit on your doorstep several days later. 

Where Do You Deliver?
 
We currently deliver to homes and offices in Lafayette, Moraga, Orinda, Walnut Creek, and Pleasant Hill, California. There is a $5 delivery fee. Harvesting, packing and deliveries are made by local high school students.

Are They Organic?

Yes, our produce is Registered Organic. Our mature grove of orange trees was originally planted in the late 1970s by Dr. Richard Larkey (of Pleasant Hill's Larkey Park family) and have been thriving in a completely pesticide-free, all natural environment ever since. 
​​​Are They Fresh?

 

Supermarket oranges are picked (often from Chile, or other far-away lands), sent to the packing house, stored, washed, waxed, sized, packed and shipped to a distribution center, stored again, and then finally shipped to your local market. This can take 2-3 weeks! We pack our bags right in our groves and send them directly to your doorstep within days, and sometimes even hours of them hanging in the trees.​
How Does the Gift Option Work?

Do you want to send a birthday gift or Valentine's treat? We will print a custom card and deliver customized fruit on your behalf. 
 
How Do Subscriptions Work?

You can sign up at the beginning of the season to receive a 1o lb bag of navel oranges (or more!) every time we harvest. That way you don't have to worry about missing one juicy opportunity for a hand-picked delivery.
