Citrus U-Pick CLOSED due to Heat

CLOSED until further notice due to heat

Check back in for updates

We wait all year for our Valencia oranges to ripen, because they make the sweetest juice!

Please note:

And every year, our guests tell us the photos do not do justice to the beauty of this special farm.

However, organic, regenerative farms /trees look very different than conventional farms. We are “au naturel”, which means while our trees and fruit is the healthiest you can buy, THEY DO NOT look perfect. We think there is beauty in imperfection.

The large perfectly manicured trees you see on your way to our farm are conventional farms, sprayed with pesticides.

Those farms do not host U-Picks. 

Our farm is one of the few pesticide-free farms in Southern California that offers U-Pick Citrus! The majority of the large citrus tree groves in Southern California are not pesticide free, but we are proudly pesticide free, and have been for over two decades.

ADDITIONALLY: Valencia oranges can certainly be peeled and eaten. But they are grown for their juice. Don’t judge a book by its cover. These oranges are lovely, but they will not win any beauty pageants, because they are grown for juice, not for looks.

Thank you for reading this, and “getting it”

We are a small family farm, welcoming you here to our home to pick delicious fruit,  doing things here by ourselves while we care for our elderly parents and rescue animals—please be kind when and if you choose to leave a review. 

The oranges are perfectly sweet in June and just get sweeter and sweeter all Summer long! We also have Eureka Lemons, Oro Blanco and Ruby Red Grapefruit available for picking.
