πJANUARY 15th CROP REPORT
Winter Citrus Shipping is now in full swing
and our Florida store & Grill have reopened!
It's LAST CALL for Al's delicious, Florida SUGARBELLE Oranges!
Yes! We're still shipping Navel Oranges and our Red Grapefruit just get sweeter by the month (FEB is National Grapefruit Month). Al's Glory Orri Mandarins are now in their peak of season and are fabulous right now. We hope to have Glory Orris available for shipping thru the first week of February.
Great News- AL'S STORE HAS REOPENED! We've relocated across the driveway in our Little Red Barn while repairs and renovations are being made to the Big Red Barn following October 9th's Milton tornado. Michelle has us fully stocked with too many local citrus varieties to list. Choose from Red Navels, Navels, Glory Orris, SugarBelles, Red Grapefruit, and Honeybells will are coming shortly. Local Honey, Al's Jams, Marmalades, and Dressings and Florida candies too.
Crop FAQs- When are the Honeybells going to be ripe and ready to ship? Right now we are are close to shipping time for those who ordered early and chose "EH" (earliest honeybells available). Al's is willing to wait on our Honeybells to fully ripen so they taste great when they finally arrive. Those who ordered for "MH" (main honeybell season) are still a few weeks from being ready to ship. We can't rush this, patience pays...they'll be worth the wait!
*I will update this page each week with the latest info as we run weekly maturity tests on sugar content (brix) of your fruit.

I still have to test the internal maturities of each variety but
from what I see this week, riding the groves I feel we will
have Early Pride Mandarins that are shipping worthy quality
on or before Oct 22nd.
Our Florida grown Navel Oranges, & Ruby Red Grapefruit
will be right behind them, in the store by the end of October
and be of shipping quality by early November.
