Where
and when can I pick up my fruit?
The fruit can be picked up at the gymnasium of the Stanley
SDA School on US 340. The fruit will normally be available
for pickup between 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM on the day it is scheduled
for delivery.
There may be additional hours for pickup
in some months. The shipment from Florida is sometimes late
and this changes the pickup schedule. The callers who take
orders will always call their customer’s (who have ordered
fruit) on the day of delivery to confirm the fruit pickup
schedule. If you cannot come during the scheduled pickup time
arrange for someone else to pickup your fruit or call during
the normal pickup hours to make a special arrangement.
Are there different sizes of
the fruit available?
Yes. We receive an assortment of sizes which varies
depending on the crop in Florida. We have no control over
the assortment we recieve. There are usually fewer of the
largest sizes. Customers who pickup their fruit early will
have the most choice of sizes.
What are the sizes available?
The fruit sizes are specified by the number of pieces that
come in the 4/5 bushel box. Navel orange sizes (smallest to
largest) are 80, 64, 56, 48 per box. Grapefruit sizes are
(smallest to largest) 40, 36, 32, 27, 23.
Can I get the size fruit I want?
Maybe. Since we have no control over the size of fruit we
receive we do not accept orders for sizes or guarantee that
a customer will get a particular size.
Why does my fruit look like its
not ripe?
Ripe citrus will often have some green coloration. Some citrus
fruit is treated with coloring. Our citrus fruit is not.
What should I do if some of my
fruit is spoiled?
We will replace fruit that is spoiled if customers report
the spoilage within 5-days of picking up their fruit. Since
we can not anticipate spoilage quantities we will normally
replace spoiled fruit from the next shipment (approximately
one month later).
