Description
xMeyer lemons are a cherished variety of citrus here in Northern California, best known for their bright floral fragrance and slightly sweet-tart flavors. They are believed to be a cross between a lemon and mandarin, they were named after Frank N. Meyer, an agricultural explorer who brought back cuttings of the tree from China in the early part of the 20th century.
Meyer lemons are highly prized for their sweeter flavors and lower acidity than most widely available, commercially grown lemon varieties, such as Lisbon or Eureka lemons. Their thin skin and flesh may vary in color from a deep golden yellow to slightly orange when fully ripe. They are typically rounder and smaller in size than a Eureka lemon. Sought after by chefs and home cooks alike for the aromatic and unique flavors found in their zest and juice, the Meyer lemon is an excellent addition to your pantry for baking, cooking, sauteeing, and finishing. Find them in our Organic Meyer Lemon Olive Oil (currently available for onsite purchases only) and in both our Lavender Lemonade and Mandarin-Kumquat citrus shrubs.

"I haven’t encountered many American olive oils that knocked me out, but this one from Gold Ridge Organic Farms in Sebastapol is exceptionally good."
Ruth Reichl, James Beard Award Winner, Food Writer & Chef
"Your EVOO is extraordinarily delicious! The oils are smooth, flavorful, and absolutely outstanding. I found your EVOO to be perfect for drizzling on cooked vegetables, and salads; although I use it anywhere I would previously use butter or a spread. The taste is simply incredible. Thank goodness you ship to the east coast; I'm so glad I found you and I will continue to be a customer."
Carol T., Hackettstown, NJ
"5 stars: We were a bit late arriving at Gold Ridge, but Stephanie warmly welcomed us. Such a glorious day to explore the apple and olive orchards...we loved every minute of it! The olive oil tasting, a first for all of us, was a hit! Thank you for sharing Gold Ridge with all of us!"
Karen A., Sebastopol, CA
"We had a wonderful experience at Gold Ridge Organic Farms! We booked a tour and olive oil tasting to celebrate a birthday, and our morning here did not disappoint. The place is simply beautiful. The olive and apple orchards are gorgeous, with views for miles. We came home with new knowledge and some delicious items for our kitchens. Thank you for a fabulous day."
Nina S., SF Bay Area, CA
"I'm only on my first of the trio, Minerva, but I'm already super happy with my order. And, as a longtime connoisseur, you are now one of my favorite olive oils, not kiddin, and will now be in my regular rotation. Thank you for the complimentary pour spout. I never liked their idea as to keep oxygen out. But I love it. Super convenient and makes it easy to pour all over the place."
