The California Fruit Depot is located just off of Highway 58 at the southern end of California's San Joaquin Valley outside of Bakersfield California. We are one of California's smallest fruit packing facilities specializing in growing and shipping premium quality ORANGES AND MEDJOOL DATES.
Our delicious ORANGES are locally grown on our family-owned farm in the tiny town of Edison, California on the outskirts of Bakersfield. Our southern San Joaquin Valley location is regarded as a one of the most ideal citrus growing climates found in the world. We believe the premium oranges we grow in our Bakersfield / Edison location are some of the sweetest Navels oranges you will ever taste.

Our sweet MEDJOOL DATES are grown in California's Coachella Valley, near Palm Springs. The HOT summer days and nights of this region provide ideal growing conditions to make our MEDJOOLS sweet, plump and moist. Our dates are sold to wholesale customers all over the world and at the retail level in our store and on this website only.

Our Shipping Policy
The California Fruit Depot is dedicated to shipping the finest fruits and nuts grown in California We will not ship any oranges until the flavor is considered "WONDERFUL". You might wonder what type of equipment or chart we use to establish our rating. The answer is simple; we measure the sweetness of our fruit by taste. We do grow several different varieties of oranges and sell them to our commercial customers, but we only ship our premium grade fruits to our online customers.
Our shipping schedule varies from year to year, and we usually start shipping around the first of November to insure our fruit is at the peak of freshness and flavor. You are welcome to order and demand shipment on your schedule, but trust us, the time of year our fruit is shipped makes a big difference in the taste.
We hope you find our site to be friendly, simple and convenient to use for ordering our sweet and fresh California Oranges, Medjool Dates and premium nuts.
REMEMBER we always strive to ship the day after the fruit is packed. (Mother Nature sometimes changes this policy when rain and holidays get close).
