Peoria, Illinois – November 15, 2012 – Farm Bureau members can order fresh Florida citrus and Terry Lynn nuts thru Monday, November 26. The oranges, grapefruit, and tangelos are a product of the Florida Farm Bureau member growers and marketed through the Florida Farm Bureau. In 2011, 320 members ordered 570 forty-pound cases of citrus and over 1700 one-pound bags of nuts.

Oranges, grapefruit and tangelos are available in 20 or 40 pound boxes. There are usually 30 – 40 grapefruit in a forty pound box, 50 – 60 oranges, and 80 -100 tangelos. A tangelo is a cross between a grapefruit and a tangerine. Tangelos peel easier than oranges but do contain some seeds.
