Not as good as prevoius orders
In comparison to my previous orders, this one is not the first quality. The order was placed on Sunday and shipped the following day. It appears that the lemons were not freshly picked and over 50 percent have brown blemishes on the rind. Disappointing!

Thank you for being a repeat customer and for sharing your feedback. We understand that this order looked different from the lemons you received previously. Because lemons are a seasonal agricultural product, their appearance changes throughout the year. By October, the fruit has experienced more sun, heat, and wind than fruit harvested in the spring, so the rind may show more natural brown marks and cosmetic blemishes. These exterior marks do not mean that the lemons are old or were not freshly harvested. The lemons for each order are picked either the evening before shipment or on the day the order is shipped. We appreciate the opportunity to explain the seasonal difference and hope you continue to enjoy the fruit. Sincerely, The Zava Ranch Team
