Update for the 2023-2024 Season
We are happy to announce that we are the new owners of S and J Mandarins. We hope to continue the wonderful tradition of growing delicious and organic mandarins in the beautiful foothills of Placer County.
Thank you for your patience as we settle into our new home and farm. Along with many other farms in our region, we have a very low yield of fruit this season due to heavy rainstorms in the spring that knocked the blossoms off our trees. We are also in the process of organic recertification with CCOF, which will not be complete until the new year.
Because of this, we will unfortunately not be able to open our website for shipments this season.
We will be selling what we do have to harvest from our farm in Newcastle, CA. We will be announcing on Instagram, Facebook, and on the website which weekends we will be open. Stop by and enjoy the mandarins and take a self-guided tour of the orchard. We may be able to fulfill small order special requests in early December, contact us at info@sandjmandarins.com.
Thank you for your support of our small family farm.

Ordering
When you place an order for a box of mandarins, you are ordering our popular Owari Satsuma Mandarins unless otherwise specified. Your ordering options are based on the week of shipment. When you select a week, that means your box of mandarins will go out sometime during that week. We ship as close to the beginning of the week as possible but be aware that your order may go out anytime that week.
If we’ve already discussed your special request, login to your account here.
Our system allows you to pre-order mandarins for the entire holiday season at one time. You may choose to receive one box for yourself right away, ship another on Thanksgiving week, and ship gifts of mandarins to two more people before Christmas. We sell out of all of our shipping dates quickly, so don’t wait until the week you want the mandarins to place your order!
Shipping
All mandarin orders are double boxed in our beautiful gift boxes and shipped inside medium flat rate boxes by Priority Mail through the U.S. Postal Service for speedy delivery at a great price (total cost = $45.00 including shipping). It only takes 2-3 days!
We include a gift card and our brochure in each box. Please include complete/correct shipping instructions and your special greeting for all gifts. Be sure to use an address that the U.S. Postal Service ships to.
We can’t give the exact number of mandarins or the weight because fruit sizes and water content vary, but we use Priority Mail Flat Rate boxes and pack them as full as we can!
We accept all major credit cards through our secure online ordering system. We will make every effort to ship your mandarins during the week selected, but we cannot promise that your order will go out on any particular day. You will receive an email notification when your order has been shipped.
Refunds
As we are shipping consumable produce, we cannot offer refunds if you change your mind. Most of our customers are thrilled with the condition of their fresh, ripe mandarins on arrival. However, if you encounter a problem with your shipment, please contact us and we’ll do what we can to make it right.
