  • FallGlo

    Harvesting of the fallglo, the first tangerine of the Florida season, begins in late September. Generally large in size and easy to peel, the fallglo tangerine contains seeds.

  • Robinson

    A cross between a clementine and an Orlando tangelo. This is an old-line traditional tangerine enjoyed for its sweet aromatic favor. The Robinson is generally marketed during the month of October.

  • Sunburst

    A cross between a Robinson and an Osceola tangerine, the Sunburst is deep red in external color. The Sunburst is ripe for the November and December season. This variety contains seeds.

  • Lee

    This little-known Florida variety has been nicknamed the "Nectar of the Gods." The Lee tangerine alternate bears heavy and light every other year. This makes it difficult to market as a mainstream tangerine variety. Generally it is ripe in late November through mid-December.

  • Satsuma

    This is a very old-line tangerine variety originally from the Pacific Rim area. The Satsuma was planted heavily in the late 1800s in the far north of Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi and the Low Country of the South Carolina coast. With few exceptions, most of these plantings are now gone. Recently there has been a resurgence to re-plant some commercial volume of the Satsuma in Florida as an heirloom variety. This is our first year marketing the heirloom Satsuma. It is very tender, juicy, and easy to peel and generally ready in mid-November.

  • Noble Seedless

  • Orlando Tangelos

    Tender, very juicy and incredibly sweet, the Orlando tangelo is a cross between a Duncan grapefruit and Dancy tangerine. The Orlando reaches legal maturity in November, but we pack this variety in January and February when it is truly tree-ripe and absolutely delicious.

  • Dancy

    This is another heirloom Florida variety. In the 1970s, the Dancy was the dominant variety of tangerine in the U.S. Today it is less than 1% of Florida’s volume. This is the original zipper skin tangerine many of us grew up with. Easy to peel with rich tangerine flavor, the Dancy is a December tangerine.

  • Sugar Bell

  • Starburst Pummelo

    Originally from China, the Pummelo looks like a grapefruit on steroids but that is where the similarity ends. The Starburst Pummelo has a reddish interior with a lower acid/higher brix ratio than grapefruit. These giant fruit ripen early in the Florida season with first fruit usually entering the market in late September.

  • CaraCara Navel Oranges

    This is a red-flesh variety of navel that has been around the state for 15 years. Only recently has it really found favor in the market place. The CaraCara orange has a sweet and almost spicy flavor with a lycopene-infused crimson interior.

  • Temple

    The Temple, also called a Royal Mandarin, is the most favored fruit by our packinghouse employees. Red external color, high in brix and high in acid, this Florida favorite is prized for its unique flavor. The Temple is considered a January and February variety.

  • Valencia Oranges

    A juicy, sweet and tangy seedless fruit, it has a medium to bright orange interior.

  • Blueberries

    Florida produces big juicy blueberries during the April to May window. Florida is the starting spot for the North American blueberry season. As South American blueberries from Chile wind down in March, the Florida season is ready to pick up.

  • Georgia Peaches

    Packed in a 5# carton, the famous Georgia tree-ripe peach is a delicious taste experience. Starting in early June, the high-flavor Georgia peaches are a great start to the summer stone fruit season.

  • Honey

    The Honey is the sweetest of all Florida tangerines. This variety becomes the dominant Florida tangerine variety beginning in early January and continuing through early April. Despite its seeds, this variety is treasured throughout the country as a favorite eating tangerine.
