Zava Ranch - Fresh Fruit and Herbs from California OrchardReviews of zavaranch.com

In comparison to my previous orders, this one is not the first quality. The order was placed on Sunday and shipped the following day. It appears that the lemons were not freshly picked and over 50 percent have brown blemishes on the rind. Disappointing!

I’m kinda confused I have ordered before the wild fires this is my first time since, I was anticipating the smell of the lemons to permeate through the box just like all my previous orders. Not only was there zero smell but even putting the lemon up to you to smell there is nothing! Is there now a coating on the lemons?

There were 10 large lemons in the box. One was visibly moldy and mushy to touch…had to discard on arrival. (It should have been discarded when packed, two days earlier!) Two others were dry and the flesh turning brown on the inside, only partially salvageable. I really wanted to like and to be able to support this small ranch, but the value is just not there for me and the shipping costs were pretty high. I will not be a return customer unfortunately.

Overall my experience has been good but I was disappointed with the ripeness of the lemons I received. Most of them were still hard and green. I used them to make Lemoncello for gifts.

I liked how fast the delivery was however, there were moldy lemons in the box. The bad thing about moldy lemons is I'm using them to make Limoncello and the skins is what you use so when they're moldy I'm unable to use them. I sent an email the day I received my order with a picture and basically all I got was a "sorry" it must have gotten damaged in shipment or too hot.
