🥑 We have Farm Boxes available for a limited time!
https://carronadafarms.com/shop
We have had so many inquiries as to when our farm boxes will be available, and for this we apologize on the slow launch of our 2023 fruit. We had a very busy winter and spring, with over 30 inches of rain, and only now do we finally have a limited number of farm boxes available.
Orders placed by the weekend will begin shipping Monday, April 24th.
We currently have Gem, avocado challenge boxes (Hass and Gem), B boxes, and our brand new Farm Bags (local pick up only/or drop off to Fox Canyon Farm).
Hass is the gold standard for avocados in the US. This fruit is distinguished by its rich, buttery flavor and thick, pebbly skin that turns black when ripe.
Gems have a fantastically rich and nutty flavor, and a dark, pebbly skin when ripe. We repeatedly heard last year from customers that the Gem avocado was hands down the best avocado they'd ever had! Want to put them to the test? Order a variety box with three Hass and three Gems and let us know what you think!
B Boxes are plain Kraft boxes containing six mildly blemished avocados. With small external marks, these avocados may not look perfect, but they are just fine on the inside. Blemishes are caused by branches touching or rubbing on the fruit as it grows on the trees. Avocados in this box will be a combination of Gem and/or Hass. Avocados are the same large size as our A boxes, they just have some cosmetic imperfections.
And new for 2023 are our Farm Bags! Burlap bags that feature 4 avocados and assorted citrus fruit, which may include mandarins, lemons, limes, grapefruit and/or oranges. LOCAL PICK UP ONLY! Or we are happy to deliver to nearby Fox Canyon Farm. Please do not order these bags if we need to ship to you. Local pickup only. Please leave a phone number in check out notes and we will coordinate pickup.
Thank you for supporting our small farm!
