Lemons
With over 2,000 acres of lemons throughout California, Limoneira is the largest lemon producer in North America. Priding itself on continual improvement , the company has introduced a number of significant innovations since the company was founded in 1893. Among the many contributions to the industry are improved storage methods, sophisticated harvest practices and equipment and advanced farming practices using recycled mulch for sustainable agriculture. The company has also developed new citrus varieties such as the Limco 8A, which was developed on Limoneira ranch property over 70 years ago and remains the standard for lemon production throughout the world. Limoneira, with its size and scope, is able to coordinate the most effective means of delivering high quality products and service to the marketplace. It is a simple principle that has worked well for more than 115 years.
An integral part of Limoneira's success is its packing operation. The company is the oldest continuous citrus packing operation in North America. Limoneira has developed several innovations for this important business function. From the discovery of "curing lemons" to the use of heated systems to replace fungicides, Limoneira continues to search for methods to advance quality lemon growing and packing practices. The company invests considerable time, research and investment into refining and improving lemon operations through innovation. Literally searching the world over for new techniques, Limoneira believes in continually refining how premium lemons are delivered to the world's consumers.
A very important part of our heritage is our ability, through vertical integration, to harness efficiencies through every part of the distribution chain—from ground to table. We are then able to focus on providing the highest quality and service to our customers. Our global marketing connections and our growing, harvesting, packing and quality control efficiencies ensure that the consumer in Tokyo enjoying our lemons in a delicious fish recipe will be as happy as our North American customer enjoying a refreshing glass of lemonade made from premium Limoneira lemons. Production, quality and service are vital to our company's growing success. Through attention to detail, we believe customers can taste our History, Heritage and Legacy in every Limoneira lemon.
