Since Florida is so warm all year round the climate says that it is warm enough to grow the oranges all year round.
There isn't a specific year, if a year get's cold enough, there is some oranges that get frozen, like 2011, some in 2009, and many years before.
The best Florida oranges are grown in Indian River County. Citrus grown in this district are considered some of the best oranges in world by many.

The number of orange farms in the U.S. varies by year and region, but as of recent estimates, there are approximately 800 to 1,000 commercial orange farms primarily concentrated in Florida and California. Florida is the largest producer, known for its juice oranges, while California produces a mix of fresh and juice oranges. The total number can fluctuate due to market conditions, climate impacts, and agricultural practices.
The oranges from the Indian River come from the South East United States. More specifically they come from Florida during the citrus season of the year.
Florida grows a lot of citrus: oranges, tangerines, grapefruit, etc. It also grows some tropical fruit: mangos, avocados, etc. Other than that, Florida grows many of the same foods grown in the rest of the nation. One of the differences is that many of the fresh vegetables you eat in the winter are grown in Florida. Florida simply grows them earlier in the year.
