Lone Oak Ranch

These folk sell at farmers markets and they also participate in a CSA, community service agriculture. I first discovered them at the Kensington Farmers Market. They are my Gold Standard for navel oranges in the winter and stone fruit in the summer. I haven’t been to the Kensington market in a few months and the last time I was there they weren’t, but yesterday when we were at Kaiser Oakland for my appointment I noticed they were at the farmers market there.
After my appointment we stopped by and bought a mesh bag of navels for $ 7. When we got home after breakfast and other errands I had one and it was just as wonderful as I remembered, perfectly balanced between sweet and tart, easy to peel. They had been picked the day before, so you can imagine how fresh they were. The farmers market was smaller than I had imagined it. I think it was the original Kaiser farmers market. There was one stall selling olive oil, Lone Oak w/​its citrus and another stall selling a wide range of assorted vegetables. Just having Lone Oak there was enough for me. We parked in the Howe Street garage yesterday and as we crossed the street we saw the market. Last time we scored a place on the street right by the entrance to the building but we missed the market. It all works out.
