Our Musings

Welcome to the brand new website for Pleasant Valley Ranch! All of our family has been eagerly awaiting the launch of this beautiful site and we’re so excited that the day has finally come. Please take a look around, join our email list so we can let you know what fresh citrus we have in season, and be sure to let us know if you have any feedback.

Here in the San Joaquin Valley of California, temperatures have finally dropped to chilly winter weather, bringing both the remarkable orange color and stellar sweetness to our world famous, organic Navel oranges. We pick to order, which ensures that your citrus order doesn't sit in our warehouse -- it will be delivered in peak condition and ready to eat.

In fact, this is how we’ve been running our family-owned and operated farm since 1903 when our great-grandfather, Christian Maas, first brought the family to Springville. His efforts have been greatly rewarded over the years, both in terms of customer satisfaction and professional recognition. In 1909, our oranges won both the Paris World Expo and the New Orleans World Fair. Since then, our citrus has earned three Blue Ribbons in the California State Fair and is currently the two-year reigning Citrus Award Winner at the local Tulare County Fair (Tulare County is the second largest agricultural producing county in the nation).

All our citrus is certified organic and guaranteed. Whether you select Minneola Tangelos (Honeybelles), Marsh Grapefruit, Tarocco Blood Oranges, Algerian (Clementine) Tangerines or Navel oranges from Pleasant Valley Ranch this time of year, you will absolutely love the variety of sweet and tart flavors, juicy segments and fragrant peels of our citrus.

Not only are our certified organic oranges bursting with flavor and juice, they are loaded with nutrients and fiber that help keep your family healthy all year long. They also pack and travel extremely well, making them a great choice for lunch boxes or as a snack when you’re on the go.

Our certified organic, award-winning Navel oranges are everyone's favorite fresh fruit this time of year. Navels are easy to peel and break neatly into segments, making them perfect for eating out-of-hand or in your favorite salads and desserts. Navels are known for their seedless nature and are a delicious and nutritious treat loved by children and adults alike.

Our customers rave about the quality and flavor of our citrus, so this holiday season you might want to stock up with a 40-pound box for when family comes to town, or send one of our Outstanding Gift Packs to someone you love. They will thank you, and so will we!
