Spring is in the air… and you know what that means—citrus lovers, this is your moment. Because while winter may get all the credit for citrus, there’s a little gem that shows up fashionably late to the party and absolutely steals the show.

We’re talking about the legendary Ojai Pixie tangerine—small, sweet, seedless, and packed with flavor that feels like sunshine in every bite.

Grown in the unique microclimate of California’s Ojai Valley, Pixies have developed something of a cult following—and once you’ve had one, you understand why. Easy to peel, incredibly sweet, and perfectly timed for spring, they’re a reminder that citrus season doesn’t end when winter does… it just gets better.

Today, we’re joined by someone who knows these special tangerines inside and out—Emily Ayala of Friends Ranches, one of the premier growers of Ojai Pixie tangerines. Emily is part of a family deeply rooted in citrus growing, and she’s here to give us a behind-the-scenes look at what makes Pixies so unique, from grove to grocery store.

So whether you’re already a Pixie fan or just discovering them for the first time, get ready—this episode is going to be SWEET!!

Organic Matters: Why Fresh Produce Is Leading the Way

Saison 12 · Épisode 5

jeudi 16 avril 2026 • Durée 54:33

Fresh produce has always been at the heart of the organic movement. Long before organic snack bars, cereals, and frozen entrées filled store shelves, it was organic apples, carrots, greens, and berries that helped build consumer trust in the idea that food could be grown differently—more thoughtfully, moresustainably, and with greater care for the land and the people who work it.

Today, organic fresh fruits and vegetables continue to be one of the strongest and most visible segments in the entire organic marketplace. From the produce aisle to farmers markets to community-supported agriculture, fresh organic produce isoften the first—and sometimes the most meaningful—connection consumers have with organic food.

To help us unpack what’s happening in the organic produce world, we talk this week to Matt Landi, Vice President of Industry Relations for the Organic Trade Association. The OTA represents the organic industry across the supply chain—from growers and shippers to retailers, brands, and service providers—and plays a major role in policy, advocacy, and education around organic food in the United States.

Tune in to hear this conversation about the roots—and the future—of organic produce.
