Fresh avocados delivered straight to your home

We are pleased to be able to offer our customers another high-quality food.

We also grow avocados of the Lamb Hass variety. It is a fruit of tropical origin with many health-promoting properties and an excellent taste.

They are usually used in salads and sauces such as guacamole. Lamb Hass avocados ripen 10 to 12 days after harvest. If you want to speed up the ripening of individual fruits, a good trick is to put an apple next to them. Once ripe, they are best kept in the fridge, where under good conditions they will keep for up to about a week.

You can add a few kilos of avocados to your orange order, or you can buy a whole box of avocados, containing 4.5 kg or 9 kg each. These avocados reach you without any post-harvest treatment.

As we did last season with tomatoes, we would like to add avocados to our range in order to overcome, to some extent, the seasonality of our business and the problem it creates for employing our staff. We also think it can benefit our customers to buy avocados through a short supply chain. Last year the tomatoes were a complete success, and we will offer them again as soon as they are ripe, which will probably be from May onwards.

Shipments always go out on Mondays so that the transport time to your home is as short as possible. The first shipment will take place next Monday, 22 March.

We hope you will enjoy our home-grown avocados as much as we do.

Joint ordering through (supra-)regional supply

On a voluntary basis, we are building alternatives to the existing corporate and industrial supply chain:

Get in touch

People in a region join forces, record their needs for goods and services (monthly, for example) and agree their requirements with ethically operating producers, traders and service providers, with call-offs that are as even as possible and optimised for transport.

We then order for many people on a single customer account and have the orders delivered directly to you or to the regions, where they are distributed further. This means less work for the supplier, who has only one customer account to manage and fewer invoices, but a larger order volume. In the regions, people come together, talk to each other again and, by pooling small separate orders, also enjoy better prices per kilo (for example with 20 kg packs).

In the 2022/2023 season we ordered a tonne of citrus fruit from “Orangen frisch nach Hause” in this way and were rewarded at the end of the season with a 5% discount on all orders.

Individual orders from Valencia

Exact availability, prices, varieties and shipping information can be found in the product overview. As part of the (supra-)regional supply project we can offer the prices direct from the plantation at a slight discount, with no delay and direct delivery to you.

Product overview

For years we have pointed to direct shipping from Ruth Palomero’s plantation in València, Spain. Depending on the season, you can order oranges, tomatoes, lemons, mandarins or avocados there directly from the plantation by parcel service, without intermediaries. It hardly gets fresher or more convenient. We have no financial interest in orders; we simply like to recommend it.
