    I have been visiting the orange shop for many years. My family had been in the area for 6 generations. We love the shop. It's a must stop. The staff is friendly and helpful. The citrus is delicious and the fresh squeezed juice is my favorite. It's also set up so well with so many unique and special gifts and candies. Highly recommend

    Nice blast from the past from when Citrus Tourism was a roadtrip on 301 sort of thing. I had set thus as a destination having read about it in a citrus history book. They have samples of what they grow, I went with the " Hamilins". These folks had to use old school " smudge pots" when it hit 26f the other day. A much nicer take than those "Citrus Centers" that advertise heavily on the interstates, and have both live baby alligator displays and decapitated gator heads, barbarous. This place is a pleasant stop in a working grove.

    So happy that we finally stopped here on our way home from Florida this morning! Passed it so many times during our past travels and always said "wow we should stop next time and check it out"; and we finally did. We were immediately greeted and offered a sample of ice cold fresh squeezed orange juice; it was incredibly delicious and refreshing as it's a warm humid day here in Florida. We purchased a 5 lb bag of orange and a quart of juice to take back to North Carolina. They have so much more to offer than fruit and juice; tee shirts, souvenirs, coconut patties, candies, snacks and gift baskets. Service was friendly and helpful. Bathrooms are located in the back of the store just go through the back door. They also offer complimentary coffee. It was a great experience and next time we travel home from Florida we'll definitely stop by again. Thank you, Orange Shop!

    My Gotta to stop spot whenever traveling this direction. They have the bestest OJ ever! It is just so fresh. You have to try it yourself to believe. Ask for samples of jellys and fresh juices. They have candies and nuts..everything that says FLORIDA.

    We stop here every year after thanksgiving if we can make it before they close. My husband loves the page oranges and his mom loves the navels. This is a cute old style Florida side of the road orange shop. They have a variety of marmalade's, honey, sweets, treats, and orange peeling or sipping gadgets. They have gator/ pork jerky too. I really like the fact that they have marmalade made without sugar as well! Sweetened with grape juice instead. I bought a jar. I'll update my review once I've tried it. You can also sample some of the oranges that they have cut, which have a good sweet taste to them. I haven't tried the grapefruit yet. This brings me to my only wish, which is why only 4 out of 5 stars. I wish they had smaller size servings. I don't need or want an entire bag of grapefruit. I'd be good with a 4-8 pack. Oranges: we both eat and would be gone before they go bad. One last thing: they gave fresh squeezed OJ and grapefruit juice. Pricey, but it's fresh squeezed and legit orange juice that hasn't sat in a grocery store. So good and sweet!!!

    a pile of oranges on a counter

    I feel absolutely ripped off by this store! I paid over $12 for a bag of pink grapefruit and they are in terrible condition. The lady in store told me there are about 18-20 pieces of fruit in a 5 pound bag. I got exactly 10 of which 4 are rotten (1 I already threw out. not pictured) and some look disgusting. I paid $2 per piece of fruit. They know many people are just driving through and won't be able to return these rotten products. I am so ticked off. The owner should be ashamed! Part 2 - Since I wrote the initial review we opened the bag of oranges and this did nothing to salvage the situation. We purchased red oranges, but received dry stringy navel oranges. So the signs in front of the store are not reliable. The bags should be marked so there is a way you can verify what you are getting. I can buy better and cheaper naval oranges at Aldi. Don't waste your money here.

    On Saturday March 13, 2021 my husband and I decided to stop by this shop on our way home from visiting family in the area. Since he loves oj and isn't a native Floridian I wanted him to try some authentic fresh Florida oj. When we walked in there was only one other couple in the shop. The two older women at the counter looked up and never spoke. I even walked up to the counter due to the juice being behind the counter and they continued their conversation. I immediately told my husband let's go I will not spend my money here. The other couple left as well when they heard what I said, from the shop empty handed. This was obviously a waste of our time. These ladies need to be more aware of their customers and continue your conversation at a later time when your potential customers leave.

    NOT what I ordered at all.

    Maybe it wasn't the best decision I've made - to send oranges to my friends in California, but I wanted to send them the box of fruit, jams and coconut patties like the one my grandparents sent to us in Connecticut when I was a kid. First off - I ordered the Sunshine Deluxe gift which clearly depicts a box of fruit, jams and boxed coconut patties - all pretty and looks like it would be a great gift to receive, right? Wrong. First - I called to check if the orders had been shipped and I was told they couldn't send me an email with the shipping tracking, that she could tell me the tracking number but had no way to email me the information (it's 2018). She then checked with someone and said she'd send an email with the tracking info. My friends received boxes with jam and individually wrapped coconut patties (see pic), not a boxed package like in the pretty picture and what I thought I was purchasing - and no note of who it was from, even though I'd filled that information out on their shop form. My friends knew I was in Florida, so they texted to ask if it was from me. No fruit had been delivered. I called and talked to Pamela who said she'd look into it and call me back. Still haven't heard from her, but my friends got their boxes of fruit - and that's a generous noun - which were unfit to eat and barely usable in a Charmosa. What is a Charmosa? you ask. My neighbor Bob mixes OJ with Chardonnay - and let me tell you, they are yummy! But not with bruised and smelly oranges from The Orange Shop. Yes, smelly - that is how Bob described one of the oranges he cut into. Poor guy just wanted a Charmosa on a Saturday afternoon. I should have packed up a dozen oranges from Publix - they would have been much better quality. No one ever told me that fruit to CA would be shipped separately. No one said the fruit would actually BE from 1936 when the store opened. Pete and Cindy Spyke - the owners - if you're reading this, you need better training for your employees regarding shipping practices, quality control, accountability and customer service protocols to be followed (or even implemented). Pamela made a point to tell me that they ate the cost of shipping the fruit separately . . . . too bad that was the only thing edible.

    A little slice of sweet history~ if you have driven 301- you probably passed this Florida gem. Closed or open, you see the signs leading to the storefront. This shop opened it's doors in 1936 and I believe is the oldest/longest opened citrus store in Florida! Just WOW. Over the years I have managed to stop during season- usually at least once a year. I grab marmalades, honey, fruit, candies and even bought an orange straw- for sipping juice directly from the fruit! I have tasted their orange juice and tried the various oranges! Honeybells are my favorite- hands down! I admit their prices have gone up to a touristy trap style- but I love shopping local, and I love the history behind this little shop. Annnddddd..... they are only open part of the year, so here- take my money! lol Be sure to stop in!

    Orange you glad you're here? You will be once you arrive! :) This once popular Roadside Attraction has been in operation since 1936 and that, for a Roadside Attraction, is a very long time. Yes they have a large orange grove and sell oranges but they also ship them out for you. Not just oranges but all their many cousins i.e. tangerines, navels, honeybells and more. Their store carries some other items: candies, jellies, citrus utensils, homemade fudge and T-shirts & other souvenirs. Easily this would be a 5 star review but their staff is pitiful. They lack knowledge and couldn't care less if customers are there or not.

    This place has concocted a masterful blend of fresh squeezed oranges to create the perfect orange juice drinking experience that tastes just like eating fresh oranges.

    I thought that "fresh squeezed" juice means just that. Instead, my OJ bottle stated that it was bottled 8 days earlier!!! What a joke!

Once I had enough blackberries to make a big crumble I headed back to the check out. After that I headed back out with a cup to pick the most amazing flowers. She challenged me to fill the entire cup and it was $10 for as many as I could fit it it. These flowers were just gorgeous as you can see from the pictures. I also grabbed a bag of okra after asking how to make fried okra. She happily told me how she makes hers with an egg wash, cornmeal, flour, garlic salt, onion salt and pepper. Such a friendly place for everyone. I highly recommend!

You might see tractors roll up through out the day bringing fresh picked broccoli or cauliflower. The carrots and potatoes are also grown right here, berries are local; and more I'm not thinking of for sure. The flavor and quality of the produce will knock your socks off!! County Line makes me seem like a better chef than I am, because everything tastes so good!! The fruit - berries, citrus, mangoes, bananas, you name it! They have several refrigerator coolers as well, where you can get herbs and lettuces. There are some locally made goods as well, local honey, barbecue and hot sauces, etc. The people are knowledgeable, kind and wildly efficient. The most amazing thing is their prices. The cauliflower is at least twice as large as what's sold at the grocery store; it tastes ten times better, and costs half. I have doubled the amount of vegetables we're eating weekly for less than I would have spent at the grocery store, and it tastes so good! Driving out each weekend has become a little ritual for me. I slow down, enjoy the drive, select wholesome, fresh for the week, and most weeks I get to see one of the farmers there unloading fresh veggies from their tractor and I get to thank someone who is integral to feeding my family. I'm sad when my schedule occasionally doesn't permit me to go. Good to know: bring cash, they don't accept cards. There is an ATM onsite, but course there is always a fee for using standalone machines. Such a special place, I wish them everything good.
