Unfortunately the Florida Citrus crop has had a few bad years. Greening fungus has killed many trees and several freezers over the past 10-15 yrs has taken it's toll.

We prefer Florida citrus to Ca. citrus , but it is hard to find. Thus you see the abandoned stands around the villages.

We haven't been to the Farmer's Market this fall/winter, but last year there was a stand offering a great selection and fair prices. You could sample the fruit too.

That's where I would look first.
