I want to order honeybells from Florida, and will probably also include some grapefruit - I'm craving citrus lately.

Any good places to order from?

TIA!

Cushman's, of course!

My family moved down to South Florida from PA 15 years before we did, and I received oranges and grapefruits every year from Cushman's...always wonderful!

(Of course now I buy them at Woolbright Farmer's Market, our local fruit & veg stand:D )

My Dad sent us some tangerines from Mixon Farms (http://www.mixon.com/)---they're enormous and so so good! I had never heard of them, have no clue how he found them, but the fruit is excellent.

Thanks! I jumped on the Cushman's suggestion and now have a box of yummy sunshine scheduled to arrive mid-January.

Off to explore the other links that were suggested. I LOVE citrus fruit!

Our Florida friends send us citrus from Harvey's. It's always been fabulous
