These sweet and very juicy Navelina oranges come from the regions of Argolida, Arkadia, Korinthia and Ilia. When sorting them, the farmers don’t follow meaningless standards such as colour, shape and size. Every delivery can therefore contain fruits that vary in appearance. With these real oranges, you'll discover the full diversity of nature, and farming families in Greece will be able to sell a considerably larger proportion of their harvest.
Please note: We ship the fruit during the delivery month you have chosen. When exactly they will reach you depends on the time of harvest and the time of receipt of your order. Therefore, we cannot give you a more precise delivery date, even if you ask us. As soon as your parcel is on its way, we will inform you by e-mail.

13 kilo is equal to 39-78 oranges. The numbers are so variable because the trees grow different sized fruits depending on their location and the weather, and we don't sort the fruits according to size.

Check your oranges for bruises and minor damage as soon as you receive them. Eat these ones first. If you find mould, remove the affected fruit.

MIHALIS DERNIKOS
FARMER FROM NEA TIRINTHA, GREECE
Being in nature and in the fresh air is the best part of my job.
"Our house is on the edge of the village, close to our fields, which I farm together with my sister. She lives in Athens and always comes here to help at harvest time," says Mihalis Dernikos. Together with his sister, he grows oranges, clementines, lemons and apricots. "I wish more farmers would switch to organic farming. Admittedly, the changeable weather conditions don't make our work any easier. But how nice is it to take care of the plants and experience the transition from blossom to fruit? I farm organically because my conscience demands it."
