Pixie Tangerines from the Ojai Valley are here! These are one of the best eating mandarins of the year. The Ojai Valley produces the best tasting pixie tangerines. This is due to the Ojai Valley being surrounded by hills and mountains. Ojai is situated in a small east-west valley, north of Ventura and east of Santa Barbara. Since Ojai is lined up with an east-west mountain range, it is one of few towns in the world to have the Pink Moment occur as the sun is setting. The fading sunlight creates a brilliant shade of pink on the Topa Topa Bluffs that stand at the east end of the Ojai Valley. This area has perfect growing conditions for growing this outstanding piece of fruit.

Savor the tasty, delicate treat of tree-ripened fruit bursting with sunshine-sweet flavor and juice. This seedless variety is the result of open pollination of Kincy, King and Dancy mandarins. Popular backyard trees in Ojai California, they bear small to medium-sized citrus, having pebbly textured, yellow-orange rinds with loose skins that peel easily. The segments separate neatly for a quick snack, making them a great choice for eating out of hand. They are a great snack for kids and fit perfectly in anyone’s lunch box.
