Buck Brand Organic Citrus

Our Buck Brand fruit has become legendary for its great flavour and mouth-watering juiciness.

The Story of Buck Brand

Every citrus season since 1997 — we've been proud to serve our customers delicious, juicy, certified organic Buck Brand Citrus.

One memorable spring day over 20 years ago, Thrifty Foods went to Buck Brand's Deer Creek Heights Ranch and asked: "How many oranges do you need to sell in order to be viable? " and "……….can we buy your whole crop?"

From this moment onward, a perfect partnership was born - with Thrifty Foods exclusively purchasing those now famous Buck Brand Navel Oranges.

Over the years, we have continued to support the team of family-run farms by expanding our exclusive citrus offering from that first Buck Brand Navel, to over a dozen varieties of citrus products now available in our stores - all of them certified organic.

Today, arriving seasonally, our Buck Brand fruit (including many fun varieties like Limequats and Mango Oranges) has become legendary for its great flavour and mouth-watering juiciness.

Hand-picked from the California ranch — only when ripe and ready — each Buck Brand Citrus fruit is brushed with a horsehair brush to concentrate its flavour, a traditional method that allows the fruit to 'breathe' naturally.
