Whether it is our acreage or one of our growers, we treat each acre and each carton as though it is our own. Year after year, we hold the industry's highest ratings for integrity and ability.
Our orchards, located in one of California's finest citrus regions, are among the finest in the industry. We integrate state-of-the-art irrigation systems with computer analysis of water levels to assure the most efficient use of our precious water resources. We employ a sophisticated leaf analyses of each block to maintain the nutritional health of each tree. Each grove is equipped with temperature sensors and wind machines. When frost threatens, we are warned well in advance to activate our systems before temperatures become critical. Our wind machines can use the area's natural warm air inversion along with running water to raise ground temperatures.
We are constantly evaluating new varieties and root stocks in order to keep our variety mix on the leading edge of the industry. A close association with the University of California's research and testing programs is another part of our dedication to high quality farming standards.
