Produce

At Old Creek Ranch we believe Mother Nature knows best, and that is why our produce is grown in harmony with nature.

Our Valencia and Naval oranges are sweetened to perfection by warm sun-filled days and cool moist nights thanks to the unique climate of the central coast.

The bottom line is that our orange juice is 100 percent all natural and delicious beyond description!

The small orange sells in cases of 133 pieces.

Grower Comments

Our orchards benefit from the use of natural fertilizer provided by our free ranging hens. This is worked into the soil by the chickens themselves whose constant search for food makes for an all natural tool in incorporating the fertilizer into the top soil. This animal action helps enhance the diversity of the plant/grass species and makes Old Creek Ranch a truly environmentally friendly habitat.

Awesome Oranges, September 18, 2010
Reviewer: Jacklovesfood from Detroit
    
Jacklovesfood saw things this way
Freshness   10.00/10  (10)
Color And Ripeness   7.00/10  (7)
Firmness And Texture   8.00/10  (8)
Taste   10.00/10  (10)


Pros: The rich, pulpy taste
Cons: Can't get these at my local big supermarket, gotta drive around for them

A lot of times when I peel an Orange I'm disappointed by what's inside; not this time. With these once I torn beyond the firm outer part I felt a wonderful, delicious, juicy piece of Orange. It melted in my mouth, releasing it's decadent citrus flavor. I wish I had one now.

Pros: Super Sweet and extra juicy.
Cons: They cost a bit more but the extra cost is worth it to me.

I don't have time to write a proper review but I will buy oranges from this grower (CA0002) again for sure.
