5 Fun Facts About Meyer Lemons
Meyer lemons are a hybrid of a mandarin and a lemon—much sweeter than your average lemon—making them great for use in cocktails, salads, and desserts.
Native to China, they were purely decorative for most of their history.
Chefs didn’t realize Meyer lemons were useful until the 1970s, but it was Martha Stewart who made them a household name in the ‘90s.
The skin of a Meyer lemon is so thin it’s edible, causing them to be easily damaged and therefore, difficult to ship long distances.
Regular lemons are available all year long, but Meyer lemons only make an appearance from December to May. Their fragility and limited availability make them more expensive than regular lemons.
Immerse yourself in the beauty of the orchard and the canyon, and experience a truly unique and unforgettable retreat. While we recommend indulging in a several-day stay to fully embrace the magic, we also offer options for those seeking a quick getaway. Come, let us share the wonder of Aravaipa Farms with you.
