We’re Nicolina and Dan, and we are happy to announce that we are the new owners of S and J Mandarin Grove. We hope to continue the wonderful tradition of growing delicious organic mandarins in the beautiful Placer County foothills. Our family could not be happier with this beautiful mandarin grove we now call home. Beautiful bursts of orange color are now decorating our orchard. We have been waiting anxiously as the trees have taken their time to ripen this season.
Thank you for your patience as our family settles into our new home and farm!
We know many of our shipping customers are not local to us, even out-of-state, and that you wait all year for your bright bite of California sunshine. This makes it harder for us to give the update that our crop this year has been very late as well as very light.
Because of our limited supply, we have only been able to take a small number of orders by special request. Next year we anticipate a bumper crop so we hope you will check back with us in 2024. We are also in the process of receiving our new organic certification with CCOF.
We will make announcements about our fruit availability and farm hours on Instagram, Facebook, and Google Maps, and on our website. Please follow us to stay up to date!
We had our first official harvest last weekend, and it was so fun to have family and friends and the previous owners, Steve and Denette, here helping us out. The children enjoyed the work so much, and mandarin snacking along the way helped keep everyone’s energy levels up.
We also had our first farm pick-ups last weekend. We loved meeting customers who have been buying from S and J Mandarin Grove for over twenty years!
We have enjoyed hearing stories of how our mandarins have become a part of your family tradition. Please continue to share those stories with us!
Because of limited supply and parking, please call or email us if you would like to schedule a time to visit the farm.
Thank you so very much for your ongoing support of our farm!
Warm holiday wishes,
The Baldwin Family
