Astoria CSA and THE ORANGE SHOP have partnered to offer you AMAZING citrus (really, we tried it, esp the tangerines!). FREE shipping and best yet, with every purchase made, Astoria CSA will receive $3 for every box purchased to help fund our low-income share program. This offer is open to members AND non-members, meaning you can forward it to your friends and family to help our CSA grow stronger.

Citrus arrives DIRECT to your home. The Orange Shop is part of citrus co-op that uses consolidated zone shipping to achieve the smallest-possible eco-footprint. One truck is sent to NJ where fruit is then sent by USPS direct to your door.

Each box includes 20 lbs. of fruit. Choose between varieties of oranges, tangerines, grapefruit, or any combination. Shipping through April.

Super fresh! Owners Pete and Cindy Spyke say their fruit tastes so good because it’s so fresh (and all-but organic). It’s only 4 days off the tree by the time you get it.

GROWING METHODS
The Orange Shop uses predominantly organic methods. His fruit is NOT certified organic, but he’s won conservation awards for his farming practices. To protect Florida’s fragile wetlands, he uses 40 percent less fertilizer and 600 percent less phosphorous. At least one-third of acreage is never sprayed. In the groves that are sprayed, only 8 oz. to the acre of a new, non-toxic pesticide is used.
