Grown under the
Topatopa sun.

Three generations of the Castellanos family farming 28 acres in the Ojai Valley. Navel oranges, Meyer lemons, and century-old olive trees — harvested by hand and sold fresh at our roadside stand on East Ojai Ave, just past the Libbey Park oak grove.

What we're picking this season

Everything at the stand comes straight from our groves. Prices are per item or by the box — ask about bulk discounts for restaurants and co-ops.

Citrus

Navel Orange Box

Ojai Valley grove, block C

A full 10-lb box of our signature Washington navels — seedless, deeply sweet, with the thin pithy rind Ojai's cool nights produce. Ready mid-November through March.

$28 / 10 lb box
Citrus

Meyer Lemon Bag

East grove, planted 1992

Our Meyers are floral and thin-skinned — barely tart, almost sweet. Good for curd, for cocktails, or just zested over pasta the night you pick them up.

$12 / 3 lb bag
Citrus

Blood Orange Mix

South slope, planted 2004

Moro and Tarocco varieties mixed. Deep ruby flesh, berry-tart. Season is brief — late January through early March. Get them while they last.

$14 / 4 lb bag
Citrus

Pink Moment Mandarins

Valley floor, our oldest planting

Named for the Ojai Valley's famous alpenglow on the Topa Topas. Loose-peel, intensely sweet — the one Castellanos grandchildren fight over at harvest.

$10 / 2 lb bag
Olive Oil

Estate Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Cold-pressed at Ojai Olive Oil, Nov.

Pressed from our Manzanillo and Mission olives within 24 hours of harvest. Grassy, peppery, low acidity. Available in 375 ml and 750 ml bottles.

$22 – $38
Pantry

Orange Blossom Honey

Ventura Apiaries, Ojai Valley

Our neighbor's hives work our citrus blossoms every spring. Light, floral, unmistakably citrus-kissed. 12 oz jar — or take a 2 lb comb tray.

$14 / jar
Pantry

Navel Orange Marmalade

Made in the Castellanos kitchen

Thick-cut British-style marmalade made from our navels and raw sugar. Bitter and bright — not the sweet stuff. Six jars per season, sold at the stand.

$11 / 8 oz jar
Pantry

Citrus-Herb Sea Salt

Ojai Culinary Co-op blend

Coarse Pacific sea salt dried with Meyer lemon zest and rosemary from our kitchen garden. Perfect on grilled fish or roasted almonds.

$9 / tin
CSA Box

Small Citrus Box — 4 weeks

Weekly pickup, Saturdays 8–12

Four weeks of seasonal citrus: navels, Meyers, and whatever's cresting. 6–8 lbs per week. Pick up at the stand or add $8/week for Ojai-area delivery.

$88 / 4-week share
CSA Box

Full Farm Share — 4 weeks

Weekly pickup, Saturdays 8–12

Citrus + a 375 ml olive oil + honey + seasonal preserves. Our most complete box. Popular with the Nordhoff High school families — we've been doing this since 2008.

$148 / 4-week share
Seasonal

Pomegranate — Fall Only

Two trees, west hillside

We grow just two Wonderful pomegranates for the family and the stand. September–October only. Always sells out by noon on Saturdays — come early.

$4 each
Seasonal

Dried Meyer Lemon Wreaths

Hand-made, November–December

Sliced and slow-dried in our barn, then wired onto grapevine rings with rosemary and eucalyptus. A Castellanos tradition since the early 90s. Great for gifting.

$22 each

Forty-eight years in the same valley

Rosa and Manuel Castellanos planted the first navel trees on East Ojai Ave in 1978, the year Manuel retired from a citrus nursery in Fillmore. The olive groves came a decade later — fifty Manzanillos on the hillside that catches the last light of the Ojai Pink Moment every clear evening.

Their daughter Elena runs the farm today with her husband Jorge and their two kids, who stack orange crates every Saturday morning before school. The farm stand has been open on that same gravel pull-off since 1984 — the hand-lettered sign out front is the original, just touched up each fall.

We don't ship. We don't do wholesale. If you want our fruit, come to Ojai — or join the CSA and meet us on a Saturday.

“We stop here every time we drive through Ojai. The Meyer lemons are unlike anything at a supermarket — floral and barely tart. Elena always has a sample waiting. This place is the real Ojai, not the boutique shops on Ojai Ave.”

“Signed up for the full farm share and it changed our cooking. The olive oil is extraordinary — I can't buy grocery-store stuff anymore. The Saturday pickup is a ritual now; my kids know the Castellanos dogs by name.”

“Came for the Pink Moment at Libbey Park and left with a bag of blood oranges and a jar of marmalade. That marmalade is a revelation — thick-cut, genuinely bitter, perfect. Jorge talked me through the whole season schedule.”
