Mt. Ida Mandarin Ranch

Mt. Ida Man­darin Ranch in Oroville spe­cial­ized in great-tast­ing, seed­less Sat­suma man­darins dur­ing the annu­al Novem­ber through Decem­ber har­vest season.

The orchard fea­tures three vari­eties of Sat­sumas on the prop­er­ty; the excep­tion­al­ly sweet Owari man­darins are the pri­ma­ry vari­ety used in their sig­na­ture hol­i­day gift packages.

Known for being easy to peel and excel­lent for juic­ing, every man­darin is tree-ripened and hand-picked. To ensure the best and fresh­est fruit avail­able, Mt. Ida avoids arti­fi­cial ripen­ers and refrig­er­a­tion, ship­ping fruit the same day it comes off the tree.

Check the offi­cial website every fall for the lat­est infor­ma­tion on the cur­rent har­vest sea­son, exact open­ing dates, and fruit availability.
