Lemons
Out of stock
Lemons are versatile fruits utilized as a flavoring in both raw and cooked, sweet and savory applications. The fruits can be sliced and used as an edible garnish with roasted meats, tacos, or wedged on the side of beverages, and the slices can be squeezed as a finishing element. Lemons can also be juiced and used to cut through rich flavors in salad dressings, dips, marinades, and sauces, or it can be used to brighten soups, whipped cream, and rich, cheesy pasta dishes. Beyond savory preparations, Lemons are used as a flavoring for baked goods, including pies, cakes, muffins, and tarts, or the juice is mixed into puddings, icings, sherbet, bars, marmalades, and curds.
Lemons are an excellent source of fiber to stimulate the digestive tract and vitamin C to strengthen the immune system, boost collagen production within the skin, and reduce inflammation. The fruits are also a good source of potassium, copper, vitamin B6, calcium, magnesium, and iron. In addition to vitamins and minerals, Lemons have been used in traditional medicines as a natural diuretic, bleaching agent, and as a protective medicine against some infections and diseases such as scurvy.

What does it mean to be sustainable organic orchard?
Sustainability:
The goal of sustainable agriculture is to meet society’s needs in the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
For this reason practitioners of sustainable agriculture seek to integrate three main objectives into their work:
- a healthy environment
- economic profitability
- social and economic equity
We encourage you to learn more about sustainable agriculture.
Organic Farming:
“Organically grown” food is food grown and processed using no synthetic fertilizers or pesticides.
Instead of relying on chemicals, Organic Farming relies on natural principles like biodiversity and composting to produce healthy, abundant food.

Ethical Cultivation:
We are committed to ethical cultivation of our crops and partnering with nature to grow and harvest the most nutritious, delicious, and healing foods that our land is willing to share with us.
We work with nature and follow its lead.
California has many different microclimates. Our land gifts us fields of rosemary, sage, oregano, lavender, roses, geranium, hibiscus, and succulents. With some additional irrigation, it produces an abundance of lemons, limes, oranges, tangerines, grapefruit, and avocados.
We are constantly amazed how many medicinal and healing plants grow on this land that might appear to the naked eye to be dry and infertile.
Shortening the Path:
We are on a mission to shorten the path from the land to your table by shipping directly to you on the same day that we harvest.
When we get your order, we go out into the fields, harvest, pack, and ship via Fedex Priority Mail, shortening the journey to 2-3 business days and ensuring that you reap the most nutrients and healing benefits from the foods you enjoy.
Most plants are seasonal. To ensure year-round supply we are currently developing dried (dehydrated) fruit, herbs, essential oils, and teas, so that you can continue to enjoy the health benefits and the great taste at any time of year.
We harvest at the peak of ripeness and dehydrate/preserve/process the harvest on the same day to lock in the nutrients.
