Farmer Feature: The Citrus People

The Citrus People have been growing and selling local oranges, lemons, grapefruit, limes, and more since their farm began in 1997. Located just across the river in Ord Bend, The Citrus People use integrated pest management to cultivate a wide variety of common and not-so-common citrus fruits. Owner Stan is happy to answer your citrus-related questions at every Saturday morning market from December through August.

Most citrus is harvested between November and March, but The Citrus People offer late-harvest citrus all the way through August, so you have a long time to enjoy the local fruit. They offer a mind-boggling list of different citrus, including but not limited to Meyer Lemons. Yen Ben Lemons, Pummelos, Clementines Mandarins, Pixie Mandarins, Navel Oranges, Key Limes, Kaffir Limes, and Oro Blanco Grapefruit. If you have citrus needs, these are your people! Make sure to give them a visit next time you’re at the Chico Certified Farmers Market.
