Orange Picking

Happy Monday Everyone! So as I mentioned in my last post we thought it would be fun to take C orange picking this weekend, and oh boy were we right. I got all the info from OC Mom Blog which you can find here. It was a blast, we have taken her apple, pear and pumpkin picking since she was a baby and she LOVES it. So when I read about orange picking we were all in. We went to the Irvine Ranch Outdoor Education Center. It's located pretty much in the Irvine Regional Park, which isn't too far from us. The groves were so beautiful and the weather was perfect. To my surprise we were able to do lemons too! Plus they had meyer lemons my favorite! C walked around like she owned the place and loved every second. If you're local I highly encourage you to check this place out. 

Here are some of the details. They plan to do this though out the month of march, so we want to head back for sure. It was so much fun not to mention the fruit was so delicious and fresh, you can't beat off-the-tree oranges and lemons here in Orange County! They are currently doing it every 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month. They plan to do it into March, but may continue into April crop permitting. The cost for the a bag was $15 and $4 it you wanted any specialty citrus, like mandarins. Which I highly recommend they are delicious. The large $15 bag you can fill with both oranges and lemons as much will fit! 

Happy Picking!
