WHAT IT TAKES TO GROW PERFECT CITRUS
MADE IN PARADISE
Can you recall the best citrus you’ve ever had in your life? One that was juicy and full of flavor?
Maybe it was fruit from your childhood or a sun-soaked holiday abroad. Every now and again, citrus from the market may taste like that. But we are here to only give you a taste of paradise. Our paradise.
Imagine your own citrus grove without the upkeep… As incredible as that might seem. In the sun-drenched valley of Ojai, California, is Marmalade Grove, your personal citrus grove.
Every morning, as the sun peaks from behind the Topatopa mountains, we walk the orchard. Using a special fruit knife, we cut the fruit for a taste test. We’re fussy when we harvest for you. The fruit must be perfect, juicy, and luscious.
That’s because when it gets to you, its sharp and zesty scent must rush towards your nose, making your mouth water in anticipation.
As your personal grove, we harvest the best fruit from the best trees. Yes, the taste and even the aroma of citrus varies from tree to tree. Even the placement of the fruit itself on the individual tree matters. Fruit at the top of a tree is sweeter than ground fruit. Outside fruit is sweeter than inside fruit. And citrus growing on the south side of the tree is the sweetest.
And it is these sun-kissed darlings that we harvest for you: our “Paradise Grade” citrus.
For fruit to be “Paradise Grade,” it must match our exacting standards for natural sweetness, juicy lusciousness, color, size, and even the thickness of its peel. Only ten to fifteen percent of the entire crop will qualify as “Paradise Grade”; the rest will be transformed into glistening marmalade.
The secret to our incredible citrus is Ojai Valley’s microclimate. For citrus to be sweet and luscious, a tree must fight to survive. Winters must border on freezing, and summers sun-soaked and hot. Give a citrus tree moderate temperatures and ample water? You’ll get bland fruit: little sugar, poor coloring, and not enough acid.
Our trees withstand near-freezing temperatures in the winter. The chill gives the fruit a surprising reaction: a golden hue and acidic zest (Vitamin C). The summer’s three-digit heat fills them with sugar. The result is fruit from paradise: juicy, sweet, and flavorful.
Finally, everything is about timing. We don’t harvest because of unrealistic sales calendars set by retail stores. We observe our trees, waiting for nature to tell us if your fruit is at peak sweetness. It’s this patience that makes the final difference.
The result is that you get unmatched freshness: fruit picked from our trees and delivered to you within days. Store-bought citrus may be stored for days, even weeks, before reaching consumers. Perfectly packaged by nature, our fruit is fresh with no preservatives, additives, waxes, or GMOs.
With only a fraction of our harvest being “Paradise Grade”, fruit of this quality comes in short supply. We started Citrus Club to control production and maintain our high standards. And that means our membership is limited to 1000 members every season.
With over 41,000 existing customers, we are opening up membership to everyone, but space is limited. Once the Citrus Club is full, we will not be able to let anyone else in.
We invite you today to taste-test our fruits of paradise. If you don’t, there is no way you’ll ever know just how incredible these gifts of nature truly are. There is no risk in trying them. We only ask that, upon arrival, you chill them until they’re thoroughly cooled. Then cut them in half and have your family sample this incredible fruit.
We invite you today to taste-test our fruits of paradise. If you don’t, there is no way you’ll evener know just how incredible they are. It’s risk-free to try.
Once you subscribe to trial your first box, you have two weeks to decide whether our fruit lives up to our promise. If you love them, keep them at a discounted rate. You’ll be automatically signed up for Citrus Club and receive monthly deliveries of our best seasonal citrus.
If what you taste is not the most incredible citrus you’ve ever had, you owe us nothing.
In a world of mass farming, additives, and synthetic substitutes, it’s a privilege to enjoy one of nature’s most marvelous creations. Go ahead. Try a box on us and begin your life of abundance, pleasure, and health today.
What Is “Paradise Grade”?
Paradise grade means we won’t consider harvesting the grove until we’ve checked for the highest “natural sugar”, perfect acid balance and high juice content. Perfect fruit for a perfect you.

WOW!
Some of the best tasting citrus I have ever had. Yes-they are more expensive than what you can get in your store - but trust me, so worth it. Dripping with flavor.

I Grew Up Thinking Fruit Was Dessert
Fruit was a big part of my childhood and from the first whiff from the box I was 6 years old and tangerine juice was dripping from my hands and I was laughing with delight. As soon as I tasted one I was smiling and laughing once again! I haven't tasted citrus like this in a very long time. Thank you!!

I Thought I was Just Getting Old...
Either these have resurrected my aging tastebuds, or, more likely, it just REALLY makes a difference to eat freshly picked tree-ripened fruit. Eating these is like experiencing childhood again. I had forgotten how good freshly picked fruit could be! Thank you for reminding me!
