Hale Indian River Groves
Located in Indian River County near Vero Beach and Wabasso, the very heart of the famous Indian River Citrus Belt — a relatively small but premier citrus producing area in Florida. Hale Indian River Groves is fortunate to have a special combination of rich soil, ample water supply, and moderate climate — very rarely reaching a freezing temperature. All this, combined with modern grove management, are contributing factors that make Hale Groves' oranges and grapefruit the juiciest and best tasting you will find.
In addition to the citrus you can order when in season, you can also subscribe to a Citrus Lovers Fruit Club and enjoy grove-fresh citrus all season long while saving money too!
Hale Honeybells — The once-a-year citrus sensation available for a few short weeks in January! Experience the rare pleasure known to Florida fruit connoisseurs. For years the rumors flew: Somewhere in the remote backwaters, up the creeks that feed Florida's Indian River, there grew a fruit so rare — so sublimely sweet and delicious — that most growers and grove hands would deny its very existence. A fruit so scarce and wonderful to eat, the old timers would hoard the entire crop exclusively for their own families and friends.
Of course, now we know that fruit as the legendary Hale Honeybell: Brilliant, bright orange, bursting with luscious juice and honeyed flavor. Honeybells are a unique cross between the delicately flavored Dancy Tangerine and sweet Duncan Grapefruit. They're still extremely rare-harvested only in January and when we're lucky another week or two into February. Hurry and reserve yours today! Now that their secret's out, they're in huge demand-and very short supply.
Hale Navel Oranges — They capture sweetness from the sun. Unsurpassed for flavor, Hale's Navel Oranges are big enough to be mistaken for grapefruit — until you feast your eyes on their rich deep orange perfection. Like all of Hale's premium citrus, these oranges must pass over 6 levels of inspection before they meet the Hale standard of quality. Hand-picked at the peak of flavor, these seedless beauties are sure to surprise your family and friends with the famous taste of Florida sunshine.
Hale Sugar Belles — Sensational NEW variety: Off the charts for sweetness and flavor! Sugar sweet, the "Sugar Belle" only from Hale Groves! How many times can you be among the very first to taste something new and wonderful? That's the case with Sugar Belles, Hale's latest citrus sensation. They look like a miniature version of our famous Honeybells — but that's only half the story. Because Hale has crossed an easy-to-peel Clementine with their luscious Honeybell, resulting in an exceptionally sweet, juicy, zipper-skinned holiday variety. You and your friends will love them. And Hale Groves is the only place you can get them, for Christmas Delivery only.

Plenty of Vitamin C, too.

Dazzling Deep Red Grapefruit — What's new under the Florida sun? Unique color. Fabulous flavor!

Every bit as sweet and seedless as the Ruby Reds.
