Order Fruit from our web store
Churchill Orchard in the Ojai Valley is in the beautiful East End of the Ojai Valley in Southern California.
We grow about 12 acres of tangerines – mostly Pixie tangerines, Seedless Kishu tangerines, and Page tangors, – and 3 acres of avocados – Hass, Fuerte, and Bacon varieties, plus a single magnificent Mexicola Grande. Everything we grow is CCOF-certified Organic.

Happy 20th Anniversary Little Wonder
