Pure & Raw Orange Blossom Honey: Known for its slightly sweeter profile, this honey captures the delicate aroma of blooming orange blossoms. It’s a versatile, ‘multi-purpose’ honey that enhances a variety of dishes and beverages, without tasting like oranges. Offered in various sizes, it’s a healthy alternative to white sugar, ideal for sweetening coffee or tea, and great for cooking.

The Ojai Orange Bliss Soap: It features a soft orange blossom fragrance, reminiscent of Ojai’s orange orchards on warm spring evenings. Adorned with blue cornflower, the soap is visually appealing as well. Made in collaboration with The Heart Of Ojai, it incorporates fresh Heavenly Honey, fine herbs, and essential oils, offering a delightful blend of beauty and functionality. This soap is perfect for personal use or as a thoughtful gift.

Ojai Orange Bliss Loose Leaf Tea: This tea blends Rooibos from South Africa with delicate orange oil and vanilla, creating a sensory delight. Perfectly complemented by a splash of cream or Heavenly Honey’s Orange Blossom Honey, it’s an ideal choice for a soothing, aromatic cup of tea.

Now let’s jump into the History and Activities of Pixie Fest!

History of the Ojai Pixie Festival

The Ojai Pixie Festival, steeped in local tradition, began as a small gathering of citrus growers and has blossomed into an annual event that attracts visitors from far and wide.  Ojai’s unique microclimate makes it the perfect place for growing Pixie tangerines, which are known for their sweet flavor and seedless nature. Each April, the Ojai Valley is painted in hues of orange as the Pixie tangerines reach their peak season, signaling the start of the Ojai Pixie Month.  In 2023, the Ojai Valley Chamber of Commerce noted a desire in the Community and its local artisans to bring this festival back as it once was – a small Community based activity.
