🍊 A Sweet Surprise with a Rich History! 🍊

This week, we received a delicious surprise at our office! Our wonderful friends at and sent us a box of their incredible oranges—bursting with flavor and history as Monks from here traveled to California with Father Fray Junípero Serra. It is believed they introduced native oranges to America, planting the very first seeds that would later become the famous Californian oranges. 🍊✨

A little taste of history in every bite—how amazing is that?
