Sustainability is more than just a buzzword to us – it is a way of life. We know how hard it is to keep something good going – and growing, and we’ve been able to do that for 129 years! Limoneira has been growing lemons using the most innovative and environmentally sound methods since inception. It’s the only way we can and will do things here! We will always grow sustainably to protect the soil so it will grow the healthiest citrus you can find, treasure the trees so they’ll produce the best and most consistently delicious citrus, and nurture the environment so it will continue to thrive for not only for our citrus, but for us all. We know that if we want to be here for another 129 years (and we plan on it!), then every choice and decision we make today will greatly affect our future. So, we make not always the simplest of decisions, but the right ones. Lucky for us all, our forefathers and predecessors set this standard. Just like they did, we continue to make the right choices and do the right things – not only for our ranch, but for the environment and communities around us. This is what has kept Limoneira lemons the most healthy, nutritious, and safe lemons around ….and we will continue to make the right choices and do the right things for another 129 years and beyond! |

Limoneira trees have a life of their own – and we are keeping track of every aspect of them in the most innovative, sustainable ways! You won’t believe how advanced things have become, and we’re thrilled to share this with you. Behind the scenes, we are using Lemon Tree Tech to monitor each tree as well as each lemon so that we know how every aspect of the tree is doing throughout its growth and maturing process! Monitoring the size of each lemon (daily!), even the growth of a tree (hourly!), and using water sensors to measure how thirsty or satiated each tree is - minute by minute! Can you believe how advanced things are now?! And the best part? How sustainable our farming operations are as a result of these innovative technologies! This Lemon Tree Tech and its app, which we all use to monitor each tree at the Limoneira Ranch, makes it possible for us to farm and operate our orchards in the most environmentally sound ways possible. Reducing waste of precious natural resources! That’s something that we thought you’d love to know, and we are proud to tell ya!

Meeting your nutritional needs through real food is most helpful and beneficial, and Limoneira citrus can be so easily added to your meals and water throughout the day, super-boosting your health and well-being. Plus, lemons strengthen your immune system! Immune health can be boosted by consuming more citrus, and lemons are a powerful way to squeeze more good health into your day. When vitamin C is in abundance in the body, it will help protect and help heal the body’s ailments, boost collagen production, and help your gut health. In fact, 70% of the immune system resides in the gut, so consuming citrus is especially important!
Learn more about how your health can be boosted and improved through lemon juice, whole lemons, peel, and zest in your recipes, even in your beauty products, through nutritionist and Healthy Grocery Girl Megan Roosevelt. See her chock-packed health video describing these benefits up above!

Cara Cara Oranges - Sweet & Special! |
|
Although Cara Cara oranges are similar to navel oranges, they are indeed quite different and special! This is not only for their health benefits, but even because of how they look! Although Caras are orange like a navel, their pulp is distinctively pinkish. Plus, while Caras are sweet and juicy and mouth-watering like a navel, they are lower in acid and packed with more vitamin C and vitamin A than a regular navel. Even more antioxidants per bite! So, if you’re wanting a different but special type of healthy sweet snacks on hand, make sure you have some Caras! You can order our fresh Cara Cara oranges by contacting our sales department at sales@limoneira.com or (866)-321-8953.
BONUS: Want some recipes that were made for these ultra-special Cara Cara oranges? We have plenty to choose from! Visit our recipes page here: limoneira.com/recipes.
