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.
