Reviews for: Grateful Davis Organic Farm

What is this product you have and how can I get my hands on it??

I waited until the end of March and they were very sweet then. I recommend waiting until later in the season to get sweet ones.

Indeed - Late in the season now they are sweet!

Blood oranges are very tart early in the season, and become sweeter later (e.g. April / May).

Blood oranges are supposed to be tarter.

Mary, thank you for your feedback. We would like for you to know we are listening. As a small ( non- corporate ) family farm, our reputation, desire to provide the highest quality organic fruit to our customers, and to ensure it arrives to you the in the same condition that it left the farm in, is of the highest importance to us. For years we have been packing our fruit in newspaper, so as to play out our part in helping the environment by not using plastics. As an answer to this problem, we purchased a paper shredder. Although it has added hours, to our packing, and uses a larger amount of paper, It is still a much better option than plastics, and looks like confetti when you open the package. Again thank you for the suggestion, and thank you for supporting not only our family farm, but all of the family farms you will find on Local Harvest. May you and your Family have the Happiest of Holidays! Sincerely, Ron Trethowan, and Family

Mary, thank you for the suggestion. We currently pack our fruit with newspaper to protect the fruit. It is our way to keep costs down, and to do our part to recycle. We are glad to hear at least they were still able to enjoy their fruit, and will look into the possibility of another more presentable packing material.

I called this farm yesterday, and they both were very nice. They refunded me 100% and explained to me how they grow the tree dried jujube dates and its special function. Although the taste does not meet my expectation, the products look fine to me.

Mr. Tan, I am sorry to hear you are disappointed with the jujubes. We are a small family farm, and I pack these myself to ensure You receive the finest of what we offer. Unlike most jujubes you would buy at the store our jujubes are done in a dehydrator, we allow ours to dry naturally in the trees, so they will have full medicinal, and nutritional value. If you would like I could either refund your money, or send you a replacement bag. Please let me know what you would prefer. Thank you, Ron Trethowan

I couldn't resist re-ordering as I love blood oranges. I've posted a much more favorable review after receipt of my latest batch:)

Thank you Janet for the kind words. As a small family farm, it means a lot to us when our customers are as passionate about eating our fruit as we are growing it for you. Thank you for supporting our family farm, and all real American Farmers.
