Shipping No Longer Available

• We are so sorry to announce that shipping from our orchard will no longer be offered in the foreseeable future. This is due to a few reasons listed below.
• 1) The orchard has not recovered as quickly as we had hoped. We will still have some fruit available this upcoming season at the farm, but the amount will again be quite limited.
• 2) Packing supplies and shipping costs continue to increase and we don't like charging more to our customers. 
• 3) The main reason, though, is worker shortage. As noted on our site, we are a family run orchard. Age and illnesses have causes changes in available family workers.  We are not large enough to warrant hiring workers.
• We are so thankful for all of your customer support we have had over the past years. Perhaps one day shipping may resume.

 SHIPPING: Is suspended indefinitely.
 

DAMAGE: Satsumas are loved for their soft easy peelings as well as their sweet taste. Satsumas are, therefore, a delicate fruit that can easily be damaged in shipment. The boxes are thrown & dropped by their handlers along the way to their destinations. You should expect some damaged fruit, especially at the bottom of the box.
 

WEIGHT of FRUIT: We DO NOT sell our satsumas by weight. The fruit is not weighed before placement into the shipping box. The number of fruit and the weight of the fruit can vary somewhat, depending on the size of the fruit. When the bushel box is full, it weighs between 37 & 40 lbs. When the 1/2 bushel box is full, it weighs between 17 & 20 lbs. The weights noted are the total package weights (the fruit AND the box) at shipment.
