A Growing Legacy What do citrus farmers do?
What do citrus farmers do? Sunkist citrus growers take pride in growing
and nurturing high-quality citrus for consumers around the world using
traditional growing practices, stewardship of natural resources, and a

dedication, resilience, skill and innovation. It can take five years
for one tree to make the citrus that arrives in stores. Once the fruit
is ripe, Sunkist growers hand-pick the fruit, and once at the
packinghouse, they are sorted, washed and packed before making their way
to the store. Year after year, crop after crop, citrus growers share a
commitment to providing fresh quality citrus consumers enjoy worldwide.
