MORRO, CA - Midsummer means finger limes are back! The viral sensations are ready once-again to tantalize consumer tastebuds, and now in its seventh year of shipping and marketing, Shanley Farms is prepped to offer Citriburst Finger Limes with the added bonus of Organic and Global Gap certification.
“We are so excited to be kicking off our seventh finger lime season with a bang! With a viral video from Eater, a Tastemade Instagram story with over 3 million views, as well as a bigger than ever partnership with Blue Apron—we are so thrilled finger limes are becoming the sensation that they are destined to be,” Megan Shanley Warren, Co-Owner of Shanley Farms shared with me.
As we reported last summer, popular online food news site Eater filmed a short finger lime feature at Shanley’s Morro Bay ranch which ended up hitting the screens of more than 11 million views. And the press didn’t stop there, another popular consumer food media company, Tastemade, shared an Instagram post featuring finger limes that garnered another 3 million views.
Now, being featured as one of Blue Apron’s Season’s Best, and reaching online sales of an 800 fold increase over last year, it's safe to say the finger lime crave will not be stopping any time soon.
