So, I grew up in Southern California, and I actually was there when orange groves were around. My great grandfather and great-great grandfather were involved with the orange groves, lighting oil smudge-pots during frosts, packing oranges for the trains. I was so excited that on this trip, I was able to take my family back to my hometown to pick oranges! Papa, auntie, and my grandmother came and we had a blast!
On Pinterest, there wasn't any U-pick Southern California orange groves, so while my pin,
U-Pick Orange Grove near DisneyWorld, Florida, is related, my activity source is original. This is the link to all the information about the grove and the group that preserves the 1 1/2 acre ranch and home:
laverneheritage.org. $5 a bag!
