Hale Groves
Citrus plants are traced to Southeast Asia and were claimed to be brought to the New World by Christopher Columbus. Yet, citrus fruits are not known because of that history. Instead, they are regarded as multifunctional — used in acne removal, make-up, fingernail strengthening, and hair treatment. Medically, citrus fruits help lower cholesterol levels in the body, and serving as antioxidants, they are known to slow the aging process. These health benefits of citrus are some of the major reasons they are in high demand. But there are worrying issues about freshness and organics. HaleGroves claims to solve these issues by offering fresh citrus to consumers. This is only a claim, however, that should be proven by reading reviews and opinions of previous buyers of Hale Groves to learn more about the process.

I bought 1lb of honeybells from Hale Groves, but what I received were not honeybells at all. They are rotten, spoiled, and expired! I even took pictures to prove it. And when I contacted customer service about it, they said they would be happy to send me a replacement order, but when it arrived I couldn't even eat them because they tasted bitter. It's a shame that an otherwise well-known and good company like Hale Groves would be so careless. I just wasted my $$$$ and I feel like I got scammed. 've been buying from Hale for years and now I'm not sure if I'll be back.
