HOW DOES THE PROGRAM WORK?

Once you notify us of your interest in conducting a fruit sale, we will immediately forward our Leader's Guide and VHS Video Tape.  Both of these tools will facilitate organizing your sale with a minimal amount of effort.

SELECT A CITRUS CHAIRPERSON

The first step a group will typically undertake is the selection of a CITRUS CHAIRPERSON.  It is important to select a chairperson as early as possible to allow that person adequate time to plan a selling strategy and find volunteers to fill key positions.

SELECT YOUR DATES

Your group will then decide upon the following key dates:

• The date your sale will begin,
• The date your sale will end,
• The date you will phone in your order to us, and
• The date you want delivery of the fruit.

Once you notify us of your dates, we will forward your SALES KIT.  The Sales Kit will contain:

• Sales Tickets
• Promotional Materials, and
• Tally Sheets.

Please feel free to use our online form to Reserve Your Delivery Date.

DECIDE WHAT VARIETIES OF FRUIT YOU WILL SELL

You will be able to offer your customers the following varieties of citrus fruit:

FALL SALES

• Red Grapefruit
• Navel Oranges
• Orlando Tangelos
• Juice Oranges
• Mixed Varieties

SPRING SALES

• Red Grapefruit
• Temple Oranges
• Valencia Oranges

Additionally you can also offer:

• Washington State Red Delicious Apples, and
• Pineapples.

You may want to check our Citrus Calendar for the exact time of year that each variety is harvested.

If this is your first time selling, we recommend that you restrict Fall sales to Navel Oranges, Red Grapefruit and a mixed variety.  This will make things easier on your sales people and will also facilitate distribution.
