The Friend Thacher Family
Our family has been growing citrus in the Ojai Valley for over 100 years!
Throughout this time our operation has gone through a lot of changes, expansions and cuts as well as changes in the fruit we grow and how we sell it.
We currently attend four farmers’ markets in Southern California year-round as well as selling directly from our packinghouse and through our on-line mail order. We also sell our tangerines to wholesalers throughout California.
Our goal is to grow, pack and sell the best fruit we can that you, the consumer, demand. We hope you find our fruit as delicious as we do! As the customer, you ultimately decide what we grow and sell. We always appreciate your input.
We truly are a small family farm, operated by 4 family members, 4 employees, as well as the input of the our new fifth generation of tangerine eaters (Matthew, Andrew, Mariana, Oliver and Celeste)! Feel free to peruse the links to the left to find out more about our farm and our family.
NEWS: April 27th, 2013 Of course it is still Ojai Tangerine Season!
Ojai Pixie season continues with at least one third of the crop still left to harvest. In addition to Ojai Pixies we are harvesting Tahoe Gold Tangerines, W.Murcott tangerines, Dancy Tangerines, Valencia oranges, Lemons and wrapping up the Blood orange season.
Ojai tangerines make a wonderful Mother’s Day gift! Use coupon code LOVEMYMOM to get a great deal on our mixed tangerines box.
We have been shipping lots of mail order — The most popular right now is of course the small, or “liddle” Ojai Pixies which make a great gift for kids and moms to share.
You can purchase all of our fruit at local farmers’ markets and via our mail order.
If you find our fruit in stores near you we love hearing about it– just send us an e-mail.
