WORLD PREMIER VIDEO: JOURNEY OF A SIDE HILL CITRUS SATSUMA

Meet Side Hill Citrus grower Rich Ferreira and follow the journey of Side Hill Satsumas from harvest in the Sacramento Foothills to your local retailer. Side Hill grows the best tasting Satsumas in California! Easy to peel, they have the perfect mix of sweetness, tartness and low acidity, with very little pulp, no seeds and taste like they are melting in your mouth. Satsumas have six to seven times as much synephrine, a natural decongestant, as other citrus. Four or five Satsumas have enough synephrine to equal the effect of a Sudafed tablet. Enjoy and stay healthy!

Rich Ferreira is a 4th generation farmer who started with only 75 trees back in 1975. Rich has been certified organic since 1991 and now has over 2000 trees. The combination of a higher elevation of 600 feet, nutrient filled organic clay soil, warm summer days and cool nights and using a Satsuma Owari rootstock from China all contribute to growing consistently delicious Satsuma Mandarins year after year.
