Ortanique Oranges
Experts say the middle child usually feels a little deprived of the attention his siblings receive. Not so with the Ortanique. Although its brief, one-month season is sandwiched between that of the over-achieving Valencia and the doted upon Navel, its heavenly richness never goes unnoticed. A cross between a juicy orange and a sugary sweet tangerine, this one has a unique flavor that stands on its own in the citrus family!
Star Grapefruit
“Crimson Red”
The road to stardom can be paved with adversity. Such was the case where our Star grapefruit was concerned. It took a few freezes in more northern parts of the state for farmers to realize how ideal the Indian River district is for growing outstanding grapefruit. Here, Gulf Stream breezes, sunshine, natural shelter, and a root system tapping nutrient-rich coquina limestone come together to produce lush, thin-skinned fruit that's ready for center stage. Let your show begin!
