Limoneira's Latest

This last month, we were thrilled to have been part of the Alliance for Food and Farming’s Farm Tour event! As one of the stops on the tour, we had the chance to showcase our industry-leading systems. Hosting such a passionate group of food safety and farming experts at Limoneira’s headquarters was an incredible honor.

We had the pleasure of taking the group through our beautiful orchards and packing houses, teaching them about our sustainable farming practices, rich history, and, of course, the rigorous safety measures we have in place. Overall, it was a wonderful morning filled with great conversation, and we were thrilled to have been a part of this fantastic tour!
