Delicious Satsuma Mandarins
Our fruit is really special because most of our trees are near 50 years old and the fruit only gets sweeter as the trees age. Mandarins are an excellent and tasty way to ward of the first of the cold and flu season with an extra shot of natural vitamin C. At Chaffin Orchards we're known for our innovative out-of-the-box approach to farming and food production. Over the last decade we've drastically cut our fuel and other inputs by integrating livestock into our orchards. The livestock provide desired impacts and produce more crops per acre. The sheep and cows can be used for mowing the orchard floor; the goats actually prune away suckers and lower branches as well as eat invasive weeds like poison oak, wild grape, Himalayan blackberry, and star thistle; then the chickens come in and eat bugs and also deposit their nitrogen rich manure under the trees. arming this way produces more crops per acre as the wool, meat, and eggs from the animals can all be marketed as well. Here's a video demonstrating how we accomplish all this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YA4QysDaLxU. Mandarin season is pretty short, but we’ll try to keep shipping these for as long as we can. Usually we can ship through most of December but sometimes a hard freeze or heavy windstorm will cause us to lose fruit early. Get you order in now to be sure to enjoy these delicious winter fruits. The mandarins will be shipped to you in boxes that hold approximately 15lbs via USPS Flat Rate Box so be sure to include a shipping address that the U.S. Postal Service delivers to. You may order as many boxes as you'd like. <SOLD OUT | ||
