Fruits & Veggies near Oxford, FL

“Not sure what was going on 5-6 years ago with the reviews but things are clearly different now. In response to a lot of the negative reviews, I think a few clarifications are in order.First, fruit sometimes goes bad. It’s a sad thing, really, but it happens. If you’re shopping and pick up a bag of fruit, you should always check for rotten or moldy fruit, the same as you would at a supermarket — hopefully. I know if I left Target or Walmart with fruit and some of it was bad I wouldn’t leave them a 1-star review because of it — especially if I picked the fruit out myself!Second, this is a family-owned business and quite frankly is a Florida staple. I have memories from as long as 25 years ago of traveling along the turnpike and stopping at a Jennings Citrus location for some fruit before continuing on our way. We never had the issues some folks here have had.Honestly, seeing how many reviews are from folks up north, I have to assume they may be snowbirds — and let me tell you, having worked in Lake and Marion county for the past 16 years, no one on God’s green Earth likes to complain as much as snowbirds do.And lastly, concerning the bags with “California fruit” on the label, that’s bound to happen! They’re a packing house and distribution center, not an orange grove. None of the locations I’ve stopped at had orange trees tucked away out back as far as I could tell. I know from my years of visits and talking with the fine people who work at Jennings Citrus that they primarily work locally to procure fruit, but sometimes harvests aren’t great. Sometimes California has a surplus and it’s more cost-effective to distribute fruit from there.That’s okay! It has never even occurred to me to review bomb a local business for doing their best to give families a friendly place to stop for good produce.”

“Cute little farm had fun picking fresh blueberries unfortunately the peaches weren't quite ready to be picked will return to do that good prices friendly people great value”

“Prices are reasonable here eggs were only $1.60 the heavy cream was very reasonable also fairly clean I just wish the shelving of the merchandise on some of it would be a little more organized but otherwise a great place to visit and a good deal to get”

“Grandkids liked the baby gators and picked out a souvenir. Grabbed a Florida T shirt for their other grandmother. Hubby liked all the candy. We bought a bottle of gator seasoning. WhoKnew lol. I thought most prices were fair. I’d stop by again to buy Disney t shirts.”

“The best citrus and veggies. The staff is very knowledgeable and courteous. I stop there every week for juicing oranges for me and several neighbors. I highly recommend this business.Bob”

“I love algae! This location I went to at checkout, it was a mess. Because the cashier. Was speaking over you at the other registers that were self-serve scan out. Teaching the customer how to put in fruit at the register. He had to answer phones too. To me, it was very uncomfortable. There is no reason for this guy having to do three jobs. I understand that the prices are excellent and that's why, I suppose, they don't have a lot of staff. I will go back there. But I will not use the self checkout. Everyone's getting the self checkout. We're not going to need people anymore! Lol”

“Best prices, produce and checkout. The smaller store makes for a faster and happier shopping experience. If you're not beholden to name brand, Aldi cannot be beat! I love their cashiers. They don't pay me enough t do self check out, when the shopping is more than a handful of items.”
