Welcome to the 2009 Mandarin Orange
Season!
Our crop of
mandarin oranges is looking better than ever this year.
Please check the
Harvest Bulletin
for updates on our
Satsuma crop and the Clementine crop.
Our
family-owned and -operated grove grows mandarin oranges in the
hills of Placer County, California. It’s an ideal
climate for cultivating these flavorful, seedless beauties.
Here, our fruit is tree-ripened and picked only when its
skin has turned a beautiful orange color—for the
freshest, sweetest taste possible.
You’ll find us at the corner of English Colony Way
and Butler Road,
picking and selling mandarins
seven days a week
during harvest. (The season typically runs mid-November
through early February, but of course, it all depends on
the whims of Mother Nature. You can check our
Harvest Bulletin for the latest details and our
hours.) Stop by for a visit. In addition to our oranges,
you’re welcome to enjoy our rolling hills and
fresh air, as well as our llamas, goats, donkeys and
mini-horse.
We grow
two seedless, easy-to-peel mandarin orange varieties, both
bursting with flavor and Vitamin C for a delicious, healthy
treat.
Satsuma
Mandarin Oranges
It’s
believed that Satsumas were first grown in Japan around 500
years ago. Their skin is slightly bumpy, loose and zips
right off, thus the nickname “zipper skin.”
Their seedless fruit is sweet and juicy.
“Clementine”
Clemenulus Mandarin Oranges
Small and
seedless, Clementines are known for their red-orange skins,
which are smooth, glossy and easy to remove. Their juicy
fruit is sweet and tangy, with a hint of tangerine.
Mandarin
oranges may hold secret to fighting allergies and colds
says the USDA
In a recent
study by the USDA, mandarin oranges grown in Placer County,
like the mandarins from Miller's Citrus Grove, have been
shown to help fight allergies and cold symptoms. The USDA
tested mandarins from 10 different micro climates in Placer
County and found that they contain six to seven times the
amount of synephrine, a naturally occurring decongestant,
than other citrus fruits. To read more about this go
to
KSDK.com and the
Sacramento Bee.
