I don't think I've ever seen them here in Fl grocery stores.

we can get them here in the Ocala area at Publix, some of the local produce stands, and in Gainesville at the Fresh Market, a Whole Foods wanna-be.

I agree, make limoncello out of them. And Meyers Lemon Preserves. Your'll have something to brighten your breakfast and your evening! Limoncello is great in a cocktail or over ice cream.

Nice link, kshe95girl.
A woman down the street from me has a tree, and her Meyers began ripening right around Thanksgiving--and she went away for the holiday and let me pick all I wanted. They are so good--very different from regular lemons. I quartered some and put them inside our turkeys.
Her tree kept bearing but eventually a freeze came and she picked everything, so no more Meyers for me.
I do hope to have my own tree some day.
