    Where to Find Ojai Pixie Tangerines in 2014

    Published: Apr 8, 2014 · Modified: Apr 27, 2021 by Eric Samuelson

    Ojai Pixie Tangerines 2014

    Shopping in the produce department can be depressing in the winter when you live in a northern climate. Local fresh produce is long gone. Which is why I am so thankful that I have citrus season to help me deal with the winter time blues. As we head deeper into spring, it means that citrus season is coming to a close. While that is disappointing, the good news is that one of the best tasting pieces of citrus is one that you will find right at the end of the year. For the last several years, I have enjoyed the Pixie tangerine as the last piece of citrus I will have until the cold weather returns. Talk about going out with a bang, these are so rich in flavor, and sweet on the tongue. If you have not tried them before you really need to seek them out.

    The 2014 crop wasn't the largest. There was some damage due to December freezes and California experienced a drought in January. While the size is mammoth this year, the availability and prices are not as good (I paid $2.69/pound without no chance of any sale prices this year). That is why it's even more important for me to share with you where you can find these tangerines. Lucky for us the Ojai Pixie Growers Association posted the stores where you can find their Pixies this year on their website. For your convenience I have re-posted the list below. I buy mine at Whole Foods Market in Ann Arbor, Michigan. For the first couple weeks they were only getting them on the weekends, however now the supply has improved. Don't hesitate to pick them up in bunches if you see them as there are no promises you will be able to get more.

      I'll give a look for those Pixies at the A2 Whole Foods.
      However, I wonder if you have noticed how the price of lemons has
      moved up over the last year or so. Where previously they were priced like
      limes---3 for $1 or so, they've become much more pricey. Wonder why?

      I can confirm that A2 Whole Foods still has them. The price of limes have gone up as well. I heard it was weather related.
