More Tour Information

Many people want to tour the grove this Saturday, so we are offering tours at 12:15 and 4:00.

July 11 we are offering a tour at 12:15.

If you are interested in arranging a private tour, we will try to find a mutually convenient time.  The charge is the same for a private tour... $5 per person... but there is a $30 minimum.  Wednesdays and Fridays are very busy days for us, so we would rather not give tours on these days.

Two Dollar Tuesday

TWO DOLLAR TUESDAY!!!
Tomorrow ONLY
June 30... 4-5:00 pm

 

All Storm mangos will be a maximum of $2 per pound....
It's a terrific time to ship.
The winds blew down a huge amount of mature but green mangos, which is actually good news. At this stage they do not bruise and will ripen with full flavor.
Because our Haden trees are so tall, they had the greatest number of mangos fall. Also available are Duncan, Nam Doc Mai, Baileys Marvel, Tess Pollock, Valencia Pride, Keitt and Kent, and the few remaining Lemon Meringue.

A full selection of mango varieties will not be available on Two Dollar Tuesday, just storm mangos.
Most of the fruit is top quality.  Most is green

Volume discounts will be available.
