Advantages of getting organic fruit delivered to your home:

Organic fruit delivered to your home in our “Season’s Best” box usually consists of California avocados, oranges, grapefruit, tangerines, lemons, limes, and other fruit depending on the season such as persimmon, passion fruit, pomegranate, Asian pear, etc.

Zava Ranch organic fruit are hand-picked from our trees and shipped to your home or business anywhere in the United States via Fedex 2-Day mail from Ventura County, California, USA.

The advantages of buying organic fruit delivered directly from the grower to your home are:

• Bypassing packing houses, distributors, storage in warehouses, supermarkets, and all middlemen;
• Minimal handling and maximum safety, minimal shipping time and maximum healing properties;
• No injection of chemicals or specialized storage to extend shelf-life of fruit;
• Time from orchard to your home reduced to 3 business days;
• Only fresh, natural, nutritious, and delicious organic fruit delivered to you.

Sizes of organic fruit might vary:

We guarantee that there will be 10lbs of fresh organic fruit delivered. We cannot guarantee specific count or sizes of organic fruit shipped. We pack by weight, not by count.

Since we strive to be a sustainable orchard and not waste perfectly good organic fruit, we pick what fruit is ripe on the tree at the time you order and do not sort by size. Fruit of different sizes naturally grow on a tree and you might receive a variety of sizes in your shipment, some organic fruit shipped will be larger, some will be smaller.

We ensure that the organic fruit shipped is ripe, all the sizes are equally healthy, delicious, and nutritious.

Organic fruit may have cosmetic defects:

We do not spray the fruit or apply any kind of synthetic or chemical pesticides, fungicides, or nutrients/fertilizers. We do not use any herbicides. We also do not wash the organic fruit shipped. Fruit goes from the tree straight into the box. The fruit may look dusty or have some soil remnants.

Please note that organic fruit is not always “pretty.“ Because we don’t spray, wash, wax, or chemically-treat fruit to achieve specific appearance, our organic fruit shipped might look imperfect and might have visible cosmetic blemishes.

This does not mean that fruit is bad. On the contrary, it shows that we are offering naturally-grown organic fruit shipped straight from the trees in our California orchard!

Shipping of Organic Fruit Box:

When you get California Organic Fruit delivered from Zava Ranch, you are receiving a variety of fresh, nutritious, and delicious unwaxed Organic Fruit which are individually harvested off the tree on the day your order is shipped directly from our orchard to your door to arrive in 2-3 business days after shipment.

We occasionally might need to delay or cancel shipment due to the weather, holidays, or government regulations.

Please note that we intentionally ship fruit that is still firm to prevent damage during shipment. If you are in a state that freezes, we strongly recommend shipping to an address where someone will receive the fruit and bring it indoors.

Zava Ranch – Ethical and Sustainable Operation:

We operate the orchard and grow our organic fruit under conservation and environmental health initiatives.

We utilize drip irrigation and recyclable packaging whenever possible, and heavily invest in sustainable technology, such as solar energy.
