Valentines Gift Idea #10 - Win - Lemon Ladies Meyer Lemons

Have you had a Meyer Lemon? Make your Valentines day bright with a box of lemony sunshine sweetness this year from Lemon Ladies Orchard.

When Karen Morss was ten her father told her that from a career standpoint she would be better off selling apples then being a VP at General Motors. She took her father’s advice but substituted Meyer Lemons for the apple and a street corner for the Internet and today can be seen carrying these lovely fruits into Robert’s and Buck’s as if they were sweet handfuls of pure sunshine.

The Meyer lemon is like no other. It is thought to be a recent hybrid between a standard lemon and a mandarin orange. It is thin skinned and the flesh has a golden color. Unlike the Eureka, which is the one you generally see, the Meyer lemon is more perishable and seasonal so it’s somewhat rare. The juice is sweeter than other lemons and the skin gives off a scent that would make a strong man cry.

The Lemon Ladies are 40 trees that Karen has planted and each is named for a woman who has inspired her. Each of the actual Ladies has painted a clay tile and these serve to identify the trees. It is sort of like she has a staff of 40 all working with the bees, the rain, and the earth to bring forth a harvest for all to enjoy.

Meyers lemons are perfect for gift giving.
