For those who live on the Southside of Jacksonville you may have seen the orange man selling his oranges each year. His location has changed a couple of times over the years but with a call list and collecting email addresses of loyal customers we all seem to find him each year. This is a family owned business and their grove is located in Palatka. They sell satsumas, navel oranges and pink grapefruits each year. Depending on the amount of rain we get and when the first cold snap comes you can be assured of some delicious fruit just not how much will be available. According to the son who has taken over most of the business they will be at 5669 St Augustine Road from November to January next year. They only charge $7 a large brown grocery bag or $4 a small one and you mix and match or cram your bag(s) full with each kind. They are there Monday thru Saturday 10 to 5 and Sunday 10 to 2. You can call 904-733-6105 For directions.
Oranges grown in Florida sometimes do not look like much but the package does not tell you whats inside. The satsumas are a little small this year but they are still very sweet. The navel oranges are still a little green looking but are still very good and very juicy. The Red Grapefruit should be ready in the next two weeks. My mom always says one of the best things to keep the cold and flu season from getting you is to eat oranges everyday. As with any produce make sure you wash them before you peel or slice them.
Cheers!
