Adopt a clementine tree that we cultivate under the Organic Farming regulations of the European Union since 2017. During the process of adoption you can choose a name that we will engrave on a plaque and hang on your tree. You adopt an organic clementine tree of the Orogrande variety from our Finca La Cueva. These clementines were planted in 2000 and since 2013 they have been grown under the organic production regulations. We also have the Bio Suisse certification which is one of the strictest and we are preparing to start with biodynamic agriculture. The Orogrande variety is a clementine very similar to the clemenules with some days of difference in the ripening. Both are very traditional clementines and very rooted in the Mediterranean climate. We believe that there is no better clementine as it has a good taste and is easy to peel. What more could you ask for? Each tree produces an average of 60 kg. Clementines are very similar to other citrus fruits but if you look closer you will notice that their leaves are smaller and narrower; and in general, they have a darker color than the leaves of orange trees. If you visit us, you will become a citrus expert. We harvest the clementines when they reach 10-12 degrees brix. At the beginning, they will have a higher acidity but slowly the sweetness will gain ground. Similarly, at the beginning of the season, some clementines will still have greenish tones, but they will already be good to eat. We are not in favor of using ripening chambers or changing the color of the fruit. The productive life of a clementine tree is around 35 years. For as long as you want to keep it and we can continue taking care of it, you can renew your adoption year after year. If your clementine tree dies, we will replace it with no additional cost and assuring the delivery of your harvest from other trees. A clementine tree from our farm produces an average of 60 kg each season. You do not have to commit to the consumption of the whole harvest. Each season you may decide what quantity to reserve and pay the maintenance in accordance with the amount you reserve. This way you will only pay for what you consume and we can plan and sell the remaining harvest amount from you tree to others.

During harvest season you can progressively receive the quantity of harvest that you reserve on the moment of adoption. Shipping format: __Box of 5 kg of clementines__ * Orogrande (November and December): Sweet taste with a hint of sourness, at the beginning of the campaign, the skin may show some green tones but inside they are ripe, acidity decreases as the season progresses * Organic farming since 2017, Bio Suisse certificate and transition to Demeter * Average quantity per kilo: between 6 and 8 pieces * The box is plastic-free * We do not store the fruit in cold chambers, from the tree directly to your doorstep * Keep them in a cool and dry place to enjoy them at least 10 - 15 days

Please, check the deadline for participating in this project (deadline for adoption) below. As of this date shipments begin. You can plan all the deliveries once you completed the adoption process. Clementines start to ripen from the end of October, but we don't send them to you until mid-November because we wait for their sugar level to improve. We can send you clementines until mid-December approximately. Every year the dates vary slightly, and we depend on the rain which can make the season end earlier. Rain is perfect for the field except when the fruit is ready because it reduces its shelf life and facilitates the development of diseases.
