Ask the adventist church if they are doing a "citrus sale." Some do in December

We get our Honeybell oranges from Hale Groves every year. It's a running gift from my FIL. Always excellent quality.

My grandfather (from FL) used to send us oranges as a Christmas gift every year. As a kid, it was a lame Christmas gift, but I would be SO excited to receive the same now...

It’s unbelievable that people take time to write stuff like this. What a sad life.

Well no one really wants a crate of oranges, so.

Unless they ask for one. Just stop already with your sad desperate posts. They are for my husband, who has everything.

+1. My sister used to own it. She still sends us grapefruit every year.

Even though oranges were a Christmas tradition back when they were a luxury, nowadays... not so much.

Actually no. They have millions. And don’t need anything. Fruit you get at Safeway is different from what you get through these providers. And if it weren’t a “thing” - there wouldn’t be companies offering this. But there are.

Agree. My grandmother in Florida used to send us a box of baby Bells each year. They were good, but I’m sure it was like $5-$7 an orange for something thst I could get at the grocery store for $1-$2. I wasn’t sad to stop receiving that gift.

My grandmother LOVES "honeybells." I think they are from Florida.

Joshua Citrus in Arcadia FL.

FWIW, they have a citrus chart which shows when each variety they sell is in season.

I live in Florida most of the year. I have three orange trees in my yard. They oranges are 1000X tastier than the oranges we get in NoVA. No comparison. I would order from a Florida Citrus farm. Right now I have so many oranges that I can’t keep up with picking them.

I like Harry & David for almost all fruits that I ship as gifts. The quality has always been top notch.
