Traditional Farming

Better soil better fruit Farming With Intention

The way we farm may take more time and effort than conventional farming, but we believe that if you treat the soil right, it will treat you right. We want to be on the cutting edge of growers who take a more proactive approach toward incorporating environmentally friendly practices to grow the highest quality fruit possible. The results are exceptional fruit and satisfied customers.

Tradition Powered by Technology Embracing Technology

While the use of hand labor is still used from harvest to packing, we have tried to stay in step with the industry. Implementing brix sorting and mechanical loading and bagging techniques keeps our costs down to provide a high value of taste and quality at a fair market price!

Focus & Core Values

Our focus is to consistently meet the highest standards of quality, freshness, and seasonality to deliver the highest quality fruit at its peak freshness and flavor.

Testimonials Trusted from grove to table

"After visiting Northern California and enjoying exceptional citrus, I noticed how different it tasted back home in New York. An article explored the reasons and highlighted growers shipping nationwide. That article led me to Rising C Ranch. The fruit sparkled. Since then, I’ve never been disappointed. Rising C introduced me to varieties I have never heard of, including some they don’t grow, telling me where I could get them, and have just “raised the game ” for any other citrus grower. I will only buy from other sources when I can’t get theirs."

“It’s always a pleasure passing through the fall, winter, and spring with Ripe to You ® products. Each month brings a new flavor, and one great reason for summer to end is so that Satsuma Mandarins can begin! The amazing people at Fruition Sales and the small hand-crafted product to match, make me anticipate harvest time every year.”

“We are a small family farm in Washington State that provides summer and winter CSA boxes to a small customer base. In the summertime, we supply the veggies from our farm and work with other family farms in Eastern Washington to supply fruit. Wintertime is always challenging to find fresh produce, though we have farming partners to help. Ripe to You ® has been our supplier of citrus fruit for our winter shares for the last 4 or 5 years and we simply couldn’t imagine winter without them. Ripe to You ® farmers rock our world! ”

“I just want you to know that you grow the best oranges in the USA, probably the world. An orange just doesn’t get any better than the Heirloom Navel Orange. I buy them by the case at my local Roth’s Market in Silverton, Oregon and have gone through at least three full cases since winter. I am 72 years old, and sometimes I eat 3 or 4 oranges a day. I am so happy our market carries them. Just thought you should know you have a customer for life.”

History From Single Grower to Multiple Farmers

If you have ever had the chance to pick a piece of fruit straight from the tree and taste its freshness at peak flavor, you can understand the goal of Ripe to You®. As growers of multiple citrus varieties, we wanted to bring that freshness and flavor to the consumer when we started in 1988, and we take great concern to continue with that passion to this day. It may not seem too difficult to harvest the fruit at the optimum time, but even a week can make a huge difference. Patience is a great virtue to have when striving to serve our customers with citrus at its ideal flavor.

 

The formula isn’t rocket science, but it can be challenging with a demanding marketplace. This continues to set us apart from the large producers that many are familiar with. We continue to stay dedicated to fulfilling our customer’s needs while maintaining the Ripe to You® standards.

We’ve grown in volume over the years by partnering with some associate growers who appreciate our philosophy. This has allowed us to reach many more areas with our citrus, and we continue to cultivate new business relationships, so our fans have a greater chance of finding Ripe to You® products in their local markets.

Enjoy exploring our citrus on this site, and we hope this inspires you to try our citrus!

By representing the growers that we do, we are dedicated to protecting and preserving the small family farm.
