Friend’s Ranch and Ojai on NYTimes.com:

Last year my friend Mark turned me on to Friend’s Ranch, a citrus-growing concern in Ojai, Calif., that ships oranges and avocados from Decemberish through sometime in June. At first, I’d just cop a little fruit from Mark every now and again. Then we went Dutch on a few boxes. Soon I was buying my own stash. Every tangerine, every orange, every piece of fruit was a revelation: robustly aromatic, gushingly fresh, each one a discovery.
