We deliver fresh citrus year-round from our Florida groves and partner growers around the world. Stewardship of the land As stewards of the land, we push the boundaries to learn more in the field of agronomy and adopt new technologies that will preserve and sustain our land and resources. From land conservation to integrated pest management, we farm with future generations in mind. Social responsibility From farm to table, goodness comes from the hands and hearts of the people and communities along the way. We actively participate in social responsibility initiatives, including employer-funded housing, employee profit share programs, local school support, and food bank donations. Where tradition meets innovation While honoring the traditions of soil science and responsible farming, we invest in higher density plantings and Citrus Under Protective Screen (CUPS) to propel our industry forward.

We strive to feed the world in a way that sustains our environment and promotes health and wellness for future generations. Home of Happy Food & Hellos The Happy Food label is accessible year-round.
