The story of these exceptional organic orchards begins with the resourcefulness of small family farmers. It all started when one family noticed wild mandarin trees thriving effortlessly in the natural environment. Inspired by their resilience, they began planting and cultivating more trees. Seeing their success, families on nearby islands followed suit, creating their own mandarin groves. As their orchards flourished, some families recognized the sustainable advantages and premium value of organic farming. They took the initiative to achieve international organic certification, ensuring their practices met the highest standards. Today, these five organic island orchards, certified since 2004, stand as a testament to the vision and dedication of these farming families, allowing us to savor the fruits of their labor.

Each year, between October and December, the mandarins reach their peak—plump, ripe, and ready for harvest. During this time, farmers carefully pick the tree-ripened fruits and navigate small boats brimming with organic mandarins to the distant mainland. Once harvested, the mandarins are peeled, and their whole, juicy segments are gently packed in unsweetened organic juice. From there, they make their way to our certified organic canning facility. The result? Naturally sweet, irresistibly juicy mandarins your family will love. With every bite, you'll taste the exceptional quality and care that go into all Native Forest products.
