Where do you order your Florida oranges?

[wackymother]

We stopped at a nice little fruit stand on the way back from Vero beach too called Al's Family Farms.
Looks like they ship too.

Yes they do so I usually buy the California stuff or the cheap Valencia oranges that come in the big bags.
Actually I prefer the Valencias. Easy to peel and not too sweet but always juicy.
Some of the other oranges can be a little dry. Rarely are the Valencias dry.

I like Valencias, too. They're so juicy they're actually messy! Do you use one of those peely tools to peel them? I find them really difficult to peel. Is the idea to score the peel and then peel it back like a banana?

Off to look at Al's Family Farm.

I like Al's Family Farm! Shipping only $12.95.

Darn, I like Sun Groves, too. Their prices are the best...wonder how the quality is?

Do you order at the end of the season? The later the better, I've heard.

When is the end of the season? Dh orders so we'll have the during the winter, around January.

It's over in January, so that's the perfect time to get them.

When I pruned one of our grapefruit trees last winter, I sat more than 30 Wal*Mart bags full out at the street.

They all disappeared.

Yeah, I know, the fact that we had more than 30 Wal*Mart bags says something.

We wish we had an orange tree, but there is plenty of free citrus around.

You forgot to bring me a bag!

Nah, I just use my fingers. I'm not that sophisticated in my peeling technique.

Yeah, me too! Where's my bag of grapefruit?
