October 18-20th in Orlando, Florida is the place to be! The Fresh Summit, organized by the Produce Marketing Association is one of the most important trade shows for our industry, and Limoneira and many of our customers will be there. Over 19,000 attendees from over 60 countries come to learn, share knowledge and build business.

 

Two exciting Chefs will be with Limoneira. They'll be sharing delicious recipes and their passion for creating culinary perfection, and of course.....all with healthy, fresh Limoneira citrus.

 

 

Brandon McGlamery - Luma

Brandon McGlamery is the co-owner and executive chef at Luma on Park and Prato, both nestled on Park Avenue in Winter Park. While McGlamery's dual passions for fresh seafood and Italian cuisine are respectfully represented in each restaurant's culinary offerings, it was his recipe for "Short Rib Mac and Cheese with Gruyere" that compelled Oprah to include it on her website.

After graduating from the California Culinary Academy, McGlamery gained experience at some of the finest restaurants in the country -- Stars, French Laundry and Bacchanalia. He also trained with Gordon Ramsey in London and Guy Savoy in Paris.   McGlamery joined the list of Orlando chefs nominated as a James Beard Award semi-finalist for "Best Chef South" in 2013 and 2017.

 

 

Kathleen Blake - The Rusty Spoon

Kathleen Blake is the owner of downtown Orlando's farm-to-table gastro-pub The Rusty Spoon. She is a three-time James Beard Award semi-finalist for "Best Chef South", nominated in 2013, 2015, 2016, and 2017. She's trained in San Francisco, Washington DC and Pittsburg.

 

The Intercollegiate Tennis Association and Limoneira, a leading agribusiness with prime agricultural and operations, real estate and water rights in California, announced an extension of their alliance, whereby Limoneira will continue to serve as the national sponsor of the ITA Community Service Month.

"We are excited to be continuing our relationship with Limoneira," said ITA CEO, Timothy Russell in a recent press release. "I would like to thank ITA Board member Harold Edwards for his commitment to serving and advancing college tennis. With Limoneira's support, ITA Community Service Month was a tremendous success and we look forward to the national campaign growing in the years to come, as our student-athletes continue to model behaviors and serve as leaders on their respective campuses."

 

Debuting in October 2017, the ITA Community Service Month Presented by Limoneira saw over 2,000 student-athletes from all five divisions of college tennis (NCAA Division I, II and III, NAIA and JUCO) perform more than 8,000 hours of service in their respective communities.

As part of ITA Community Service Month Presented by Limoneira, programs are encouraged to log their hours served with the ITA to be entered into the Limoneira Hours Challenge, which will be promoted on a weekly basis during October. The program with the most hours served at the end of ITA Community Service Month Presented by Limoneira will receive an ITA grant.

 

 

"This is our second year as a sponsor of ITA's Community Service Month, and we couldn't be happier with last year's results," said Limoneira CEO, Harold Edwards, who also serves on the ITA Board of Directors. "Our company strives to promote health. Tennis with its aerobic movements burns fat, increases one's heart rate and promotes higher energy levels. Lemon juice in water is one of the healthiest items that an athlete, or anyone for that matter, can consume. It provides an excellent source of Vitamin C, can naturally balance our bodies Ph levels, and help us stay hydrated." We appreciate ITA's assistance in communicating these important health messages".

"Furthermore, service to the community is an important Limoneira principle. Supporting the ITA's efforts in this regard is a no-brainer."

In addition to its role with ITA Community Service Month, Limoneira will have an increased on-site presence at several ITA regional and national tournaments, serving up Limoneira lemon water and extolling its health benefits as it relates to physical exercise.
