How's the Mid-March crop, what's shipping, what's next?
Great growing conditions produced a superb Florida Citrus crop
at Al's for 2024. What a difference a year makes. (The grove
store opened on Oct. 17th with Early Pride and Bingo Mandarins.
Next SugarBelles
joined our classic, Florida Navels, Glory Orris
sold out but local Heirloom Temple Oranges are now in, the
grower's favorite, joined by our Indian River, Ruby Reds. The
FL Valencia Orange crop is the best we've had in years too!

What's Shipping Now?
Florida Valencia Oranges, Ruby Red Grapefruit, and Sunbelt
Honeybells are all shipping weekly. My son, Matt grew the
Florida Valencia Oranges this year... sweet, juicy, again our
best crop in years. We still have a few 
Heirloom Temple Oranges
in the field but we're on the last couple rows so order today.

What's Now, What's Next? As our locally grown
Heirloom Temple Orange
harvest winds down, our
Florida
Valencia Oranges harvest is now going strong.
