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 to innovation.
Growing fresh citrus requires hard work,
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.
