RW Sweeties is a family owned & operated certified organic mandarin orange farm in Reedley, Tulare County, CA. We have
been farmers since we were kids. Our dad, Ronald W. Whisenant, taught us early on the value of hard work &
determination. 4H & FFA taught us the education, discipline, business & organizational skills we needed to run our family
farm business. When we received this orchard in 2009, upon our fathers untimely passing we decided that we would farm it
as a family in his honor & fulfill his dream of growing the sweetest organic mandarins & sharing them with other families
to enjoy. As of 11/15/2021 our organic certification was completed. We hire certified sub-contractors to prune, weed,
fertilize & control pests in our orchard with strict organic standards. We contract with a certified organic
picker/hauler/packer (usually Moonlight Packing & they sell our fruit as the brand name “Cuties”) We inspect our orchard
weekly & we all eat the fruit we grow…even our grandbabies! We maintain a Facebook web presence to spread the word
about how amazing & healthy mandarins are with nutrition values, storage tips & recipes that embellish their value.
