Today Only Special on Beyond-Organic Mandarins!

Posted on | November 27, 2009 | No Comments

IMG_3148A few days ago I received this box of mandarin oranges from the generous folks at Chaffin Family Orchards.  Besides being amazingly pure and beyond organically grown, they are the most delicious mandarins I’ve ever tasted! We have been enjoying these simple treats as a healthy dessert, topped on a delicious salad, and cooked into some lovely dishes.  I am working on perfecting a crock-pot Mandarin Shrimp recipe (I’ll post it early next week after my “test crew” weighs in).  I am also saving all of the wonderful pesticide-free peels so that I can make candied orange peel and to dehydrate for use in baking as orange zest!  I am also going to use some of them to make lacto-fermented marmalade; a super-delicious source of probiotics and vitamin C. 

These oranges are seriously the best I’ve EVER tasted.  We had some store-bought ones served at our Thanksgiving dinner (we weren’t home) and they came no where near.  You can tell by the deep orange color of the flesh and the juice that these are something special. 

I remember hearing about people growing up in the Great Depression who were so delighted just to receive an orange at Christmastime.  These oranges from Chaffin would truly be gift-worthy!  I’m usually not that big of an orange fan because most oranges available commercially are obviously not locally grown and besides they taste–I find— is nothing to write home (or blog!) about.  But these…..my, oh my! 

Chaffin is a diversified Family Farm with beyond organic practices located in Northern California (which still sorta qualifies as “local” for this Oregonian).

The great news is that Chaffin is running a special for two days!!!  Free shipping and their normally $39.99 box (for 15 lbs) is selling for $33.99!!!

Chaffin is also an excellent source of high quality, organic, locally made, extra virgin olive oil!  Please go HERE to order Chaffin’s mandarins! Order today for a fantastic deal on a delightful, organic, and healthy treat that makes a fantastic gift!

And stay tuned for my recipe on crock-pot Mandarin Shrimp that is coming down the pike in a few days!!!!
