This was SO worth the time to come and visit! I'd give this 6 stars if I could, Teresa was a wonderfully hospitable host and we experienced so much more than just taking a look at some orange trees! She explained the history behind her family's orange farm and agricultural techniques in an engaging way, and let us sample lots of different fruits besides the oranges that they grow there. There were breaks to enjoy a glass of cold freshly squeezed juice, a chance to pick our own oranges to take home and take photos, and we wrapped up with a visit to the gift shop where everything was very modestly priced and we were able to have further tastings of the different jams, liqueurs and biscuits they make there.
Teresa is amazing at what she does and really goes out of her way to make your experience as great as possible - when the fig jam was out of stock in the 100g size and we told her we couldn't fly back anything bigger, she filled an empty 100g jar just for us and we can't thank her enough.
The whole farm landscape is idyllic, even at the end of the season after harvest (which happens in mid May, we went in late May). She recommended that if we ever wanted to see the orchards in bloom and full of oranges, we should return in March or April.
