Satsuma Mandarins
Our Heritage Satsuma mandarin trees were planted in the early 1960's by Steve's Grandfather, Edmund Pilz. The southern exposure on our ranch provides the perfect climate and conditions for citrus production. The Pilz Produce at Hillcrest ranch has about 12 acres in delicious, sweet, seedless Satsuma mandarins.

In fact, Placer County mandarins have recently made the rounds on national news stations and newspapers because of their natually occurring decongestants! That's right - mandarins are proven to help keep you healthy! We are proud to say that people have been bringing their friends and families to visit our ranch for several generations.
