What Is Citrus Fest?

Citrus Fest is our annual winter tradition celebrating organic citrus and the many ways it can shine — from sweet to tart. It’s also a way to honor what’s in season and what our bodies naturally crave this time of year.

In the heart of winter, fresh citrus is at its peak — bright, juicy, and full of flavor when many other fruits are out of season. These vibrant fruits are rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and natural acids that can help support immunity, digestion, and overall vitality during the colder months.

We host Citrus Fest to lean into this seasonal abundance while making nourishing food more accessible to our members and community. From January 21st through February 3rd, enjoy 20% off all organic citrus — a simple way to stock up on what’s fresh and in season, while celebrating the flavors and wellness benefits of citrus.
