Fresh from the orchard to you!
Rising C Ranches lets nature take its course. Instead of picking the fruit all at once, they wait for each piece of fruit to ripen on the tree. It’s a risky waiting game, but well worth it. Sweet and juicy, it makes for a better-tasting, more sustainable, longer-lasting fruit. Packed with vitamin C and bursting with flavor, this heirloom navel orange is the one you’ll remember from childhood. Peel and eat, or add a spritz to salads, sauces and marinades.
