Oranges, grapefruits and tangerines taste so good during the cold winter months, and they're replete with vitamin C and beta carotene to help fight off colds and flu.
Starting in December, we bring in a variety of organic, conventional, and minimally sprayed citrus fruits from the sunny south:
Grapefruits
Oranges
Honeybells
Tangerines
Tangelos
Mandarins
Temples
Our schedule varies from year to year, so sign up for our emails so we can notify you when we begin taking orders.
All of our fruit comes in bulk boxes: usually 25 lb, 40 lb or 50 lb, depending on the variety.
Check the green and orange menu to the left to see what Co-op orders are currently in progress.
California Navel Orange
Reviews from our California/Texas citrus order in February 2011
We were very grateful to the family that delivered the orange order to Columbia. We mistakenly thought we had an hour for pick-up. They waited for us to pick up.
The oranges were absolutely delicious this time! Our daughter said that they were the sweetest oranges that she has ever eaten! Thank you for finding them!
Many blessings,
Joey and Judy Watkins
our grapefruit and mandarins were amazing - still savouring a few of each......will there be another order....please, please, please we need more....xo jan
The oranges were absolutely wonderful, sweet and delicious. We got organic and regular ones. The lemons were also good although more tart than some I've had. The only disappointment was losing more than a dozen of each to mold.

My dad said he hadn't tasted oranges as good as these since he left Arizona.
The organic oranges were very good but I was disappointed that I had to throw about 10 of them away because they were ruined (turned green,white). Certainly not worth the price I paid for them. We did keep them in a cool place.

I bought them for a friend and all they have done is rave about them, that they were the best, sweetiest, most juicy grapefruits they had ever eaten. Ginny Drews
We are NEVER disappointed with your citrus (or anything else for that matter), and this time was no different! The oranges & grapefruit are juicier and taster than any found in any grocery store. When I ask my kids if they want an orange, they ask, Are they the good ones? meaning your citrus, not some I got from a grocery store. If I say grocery store, they say no thanks. They only want the good kind. Thank you so much for making delicious fruit available to our family! Ann Marie Gilliam
The tangerines were awesome!! Easy to peel & delicous! They were gone within the month. –Rebecca Unger
Delicious, easy to peel oranges.
Tasty, juicy grapefruit.
Yum!

We bought the organic navel oranges. My husband thought there was no way we'd ever eat them before they went bad. Well, we are out! I hope we can place another order soon! They are truly the best oranges we have ever eaten. – Tracy, Dickson, TN
the organic navel oranges were fantastic!!! we hope you order them again! :-) -Joan Jacobs
I bought a case of the No 2 Naval oranges and the Texas Ruby Red Grapefruit. Both were sweet and so much better than what we can buy in the store. And the price was also cheaper. What I want to know now is when can I buy some more? Also purchased the raw almonds and we are still enjoying them. –Sheila Fucci
The organic oranges were delicious- the sweetest we've ever had. –Lara Oliver
Those mandarin oranges were so good we wish he had bought twice as many! -Leslie Simpson
The Texas Grapefruit were most excellent, juicy and sweet. I only regret promising to share so many. -Emily Trader
The oranges and grapefruits we bought were so juicy and delicious they only lasted a week! We thoroughly enjoyed them.

I did not order any fruit, but I did order Rapadura. I have used it a few times and I like it. Thanks, Debbie
We loved the citrus fruits we got on our last order. We had some issues with spoilage pretty quickly, especially the lemons. Within a couple of days, we had lemons going bad. The Mandarin oranges held up really well. –Janet Brazle
On this last citrus order I received mandarin oranges and they were AMAZING! By far the best citrus I have ever ate. Juicy, sweet, no seeds, easy to peel...just wonderful! We are 2 boxes in record time! We also got a 1/2 box of lemons and they are very good too. Full of flavor, and plenty juicy! Thanks for everything! -Sara Bailey
The oranges from California were awesome! We enjoyed every bite. Good thing they were so good because they did start to go bad quickly so we ate them fast! -Joy
The citrus was great. We especially loved the lemons and would be glad to get some more. They were very sweet compared to others. Also, the skin was a lot softer than others. –Bethany Brandt
The navel oranges were very good though our box looked like it had been stacked on the bottoma as many were misshapen. Most of those were good though we did lose a few. –Wanda Givens
The organic oranges that we bought were large and tasty. But with the additional $3 PER box added delivery charge and since we are going to Nashville for our other groceries too, it doesn't make sense to purchase them more than we can get them in Nashville. –Misti
I forgot to complete a survey, but the organic navel organges and the red grapefruit were outstanding!!! -Tina Pender
Thanks so much. I have been meaning to write to let you guys know that we thought the tangerines from the last citrus order were the BEST in the World! We can't stop talking about them. They were easy to peel and wonderful to eat!
Also, the new order form is amazing! Thanks so much for making it so easy.

It was very good! I was a lot happier this shipment than with the one in January. Keep up the good work. –Terri Hacker
I moved to TN from Florida. The oranges I bought from you were the juiciest and most flavorful that I have EVER had! -Marcia Freespirit
The California navel oranges we received in our shipment this month are delicious. Juicy, flavorable, easy to peel fruit - can't be beat! -nan Brought
The Grapefruit were great! Juicy and easy to peal and Very Sweet! We will buy them again.
The oranges had a good flavor, but had several bad (mushy) ones in the box and the rest did not keep well @ all. I finally had to put them in the fridge. I think we will stick to the Honey Bells from now on. –Billie Sisco
We Have really enjoyed the clementines that we bought. –Lori Grissom
The oranges were phenomenally delicious!! Best we've ever had. Wish we could get a box a week! -Kara Carden
The organic naval oranges were Delicious. I just did not buy enough of them. The organic lemons were fantastic too. Yep, I need to buy more of those also next time. -Mary Dozier
The Mandarin oranges were great!! Only had a couple that were rotten on the inside. The Oranges were good also although there were 4 or 5 that were not fit to eat. Definitely will buy again. Thanks -Daniel Shoppe
fruit tasted great, but spoiled very quickly. Out of the 9 boxes of fruit I got, I probably lost 1/2 a box. I thought that was a bit much. –Emily Varela
Yup the fruit was great just didn't last long enough :-)!!
The California organic oranges where some of the best I have ever had! They were gone in a matter of days!! Thank you! -Melissa
the grapefruit was really good well satisfied -James Lavy
The oranges were WONDERFUL!! The grapefruit was delicious, and the tangerines were good.
Thank you for bringing these things to us. –Amber Williams
The oranges and red grapefruit we got in Feb. 2011 were very good! They were juicy and sweet. We are a family of 10 and I thought surely 4 bushels would be plenty. Boy was I wrong...took us only a couple weeks to eat them up. LOL!
Thanks so much and God Bless :)

The mandarin oranges were terrific! Gone in a flash. –Kathy Slayman
