I received a 20 lb box (exactly 40) of Florida Oranges thanks to The Fruit Club and was amazed at the flavor. The oranges are picked riped and shipped direct to the pick up site for the consumer.

The oranges were absolutely delicious. They were juicy, sweet and seedless. We’ve already consumed about 1/4 of the box of oranges and every single orange is just as delicious as the others. These are definitely yummier than any store bought produce. My husband mentioned that the cost is similar to oranges at the grocery store, but the taste is so much better.
The winner from my giveaway, Cynthia, chose to juice her 20 lb box of oranges and she said it was the best fresh juice she’s ever made.

The only downside is that you have to meet at a set location and time to pick up the fruit and there could be delays if the fruit is not quite ready or weather happens. However, that means that your fruit is the absolute freshest it can possibly be. My suggestion is order with a friend or two, so that you can take turns picking up the fruit when it arrives in Omaha.
