![]() ![]() When Does California Orange Season Begin? When Does Florida Orange Season Begin?īoth the California and Florida orange seasons being at the same time in November with Naval oranges. Valencia oranges that are great for juice are available later in the season, closer to the end of winter. Patience is the key to enjoying these varieties. Both Cara Cara and Blood oranges don't get good until at least mid to late January, but waiting until March will assure the best flavor. ![]() Other orange varieties such as blood oranges and Cara Cara usually start popping up sometime around Christmas. Starting with the classic Naval oranges which usually last in the stores all the way until spring time. Sometime in November is when you will begin to see American grown oranges hitting the marketplace. In this discussion I will also include the cousin of the orange, the mandarin, who has been getting more exposure in recent years, mainly because of the increased popularity of the Clementine. In this post I will talk all about the orange season, when it begins, when it ends, and everything in between. A good orange ranks at the top of my favorite fruits. One of the main reasons is that we are at the start of orange season. But even thought I don't have those fruits to enjoy, this is the time of year where I do more of my fruit shopping indoors. There are no more peaches, no more berries, and cherries are long gone. One of the sad things about this time of year is that the peak of the farmer's market season here in Michigan has come and gone. ![]()
