2017 Blood Orange Season – closed

We had another succesful blood orange season in 2017, and we couldn’t be more appreciative of our customers and local businesses who supported us. Thank you so much to everyone who purchased our fruit. We look forward to seeing you at peach season, and again for 2018’s blood orange season.

Thank you,
Farmer Dave and Linda

Blood Orange Season 2017!

Happy New Year everyone!

Promacks Farm has a good crop of blood oranges this year.
They are juicy and delicious with lots of that beautiful blood orange color.
We will begin accepting orders on January 5, 2017 and will send out our first orders on January 10, 2017.

The oranges will be available in a 24 piece box for $18 plus $12 for shipping (that’s a total of $30).

Our oranges are available to purchase online via our Farm Store

We look forward to hearing from you!

Farm Update: Early March on the Farm

We are still picking and shipping our Moro Blood Oranges.

Blood Orange Season 2016

The end of Summer and beginning of Fall this year has seen some rain already, which is very good news for us farmers. We are hopeful for the predicted El Nino to bring us much-appreciated precipitation. Our blood orange trees have good fruit set again this year, and we plan on selling fruit via this site again. Stay tuned to our website for info on when they’ll be available for purchase, both locally and online.

Thank you again for all of your support!
