Start of the orange season 2019

By GAIA Redaktion 12 November 2019

Ruth lets you know that the new season is now starting.

Dear customers, after waiting for several months for our orange trees to produce the new harvest, we are now delighted to let you know that we will be shipping the first Navelina oranges next Monday, 18 November.

You can order your first oranges of the season right away. If you would also like to add mandarins to your box, that is currently possible too, in a mixed box with Navelina oranges and Clementine mandarins.

We hope this season brings favourable weather and a good harvest, so that you can enjoy our delicious fruit all season long.

Warm regards from Cullera, and thank you for being with us again this season.

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.
