Check our mailorder page for direct shipping of our
sweetest Matilija Canyon Pixies from March through June.
Pixie tangerines are amazingly sweet and always seedless! They are by
far our most popular fruit and we are among other family and friends in
the Ojai Valley that grow them. Luckily, we all get along and have
banded together to form the Ojai Pixie Growers Association (see our
website at www.ojaipixies.com
for loads of Ojai Pixie information).
Our family has grown Ojai Pixie tangerines since
the early 1970's after Anne's father, Elmer Friend, planted a few trees
as an experiment. The Pixie trees grew well, and when Emily and George
were young they would consume much of the crop before the fruit could
make it to market.
Following in their dad's footsteps,
siblings Matthew, Andrew and Mariana love to eat Pixies and ask that
cartons of them be shipped to them weekly druing the spring! Pixies are
very low in acid and kids absolutely love them! Anne, who is a fabulous
cook, bakes Ojai Pixie tangerine tarts and cakes with Ojai Pixie zest
and juice, while Emily likes to peel them and put them in her salads.
Fortunately we now grow over 15 acres of Ojai Pixies, so there is
enough to share with you!
Pixie season is a busy time for us as we pack and
ship our Ojai Pixies as well as helping coordinate the packing and
marketing of other Ojai Pixie growers' fruit.
