The Avocado Captains

From January through September, join a neighborhood crew and enjoy farm-fresh avocados with less packaging, lower costs, and a lighter carbon footprint.


How It Works:

  • A Captain signs up at least 4 households (neighbors, friends, or coworkers).

  • We deliver monthly in reusable wooden crates via e-truck.

  • Crew members pick up from the Captain’s home or workplace.

  • Crates are swapped and refilled each month.


Captain Perks:

  • 50% off your own avocado box.

  • Invitations to exclusive Captain events + Ranch gatherings.

  • Community connection and fun extras.
     

Why Join a Crew:

  • Same premium, hand-wrapped avocados.

  • Sustainable, reusable packaging.

  • Easy drop-off, no shipping box needed.

 

Example: Captain Maria recruits 6 neighbors. We drop 7 boxes at her house. She pays half-price for hers; everyone else pays the regular subscription rate. Next month, the crates are collected, refilled, and delivered again.

Avocado Box

A Day in the Life of an

(Told by the box itself)

Hi there - I’m your avocado box!

 

I may look humble, but trust me… I’ve been on a pretty special journey to get to you.

The fruit inside me didn’t happen overnight.

Each avocado I carry spent 10 to 12 months slowly growing on the branch of a tree that’s likely been standing for 30 to 40 years — some even longer. Grown through California seasons, sun and wind, care and patience.

 

That’s what it takes to create real flavor, real nourishment, and a box worth sharing.

The sun rises over the hills of Santa Paula, California as skilled hands move through the orchard, gently twisting avocados from branches that have fed families for generations. 

No machines. No rushing.

Just care, sunshine, and intention. Only the best make it into the harvest basket.

The Orchard

6:42 AM

Each avocado gets gussied up to meet you-
no wax nor chemicals.

The Processing

10:15 AM

Each avocado is wrapped in color-coded tissue paper to not only protect the fruit in the shipping process, but to also help you identify the different varieties of avocados in your box.

It’s thoughtful, a little playful, and honestly? Kind of joyful. Every detail matters when you’re delivering sunshine.

The Wrapping Table

Next Morning

No warehouses, no conveyor belts. We’re hand-delivered to the local post office by the same team who picked and packed us. From here, it’s just a short journey until we land on your doorstep.

We arrive a little firm (on purpose) — ready to ripen gently in your kitchen. Maybe we’ll become the centerpiece of a shared meal. Maybe we’ll be a bright spot in your lunchbox, or the first thing your kids grab after school. 


However you enjoy us, just know this:
We’re here to bring joy

“These are the best I have ever eaten!!! I am so used to bruised, over ripe from the store. My new mantra - An Avocado a Day Keeps The Doctor Away!!”

Praise for our fruit

"The orange and passion fruit ripened well and were delicious. Very fresh and unlike anything I can get locally in the Northeast. It feels like a great treat along with the avocados!"
