Meet the Growers

Where care, climate and craftsmanship come together

Grown in South Africa, Peru, Argentina and beyond — regions where sunny days and cool nights help citrus thrive naturally — our organic fruit is the result of passionate, dedicated farming. Our growers are more than producers: they are stewards of the land and drivers of positive change.

Whether rooted in family tradition or built on newer initiatives, all share a commitment to:

Regenerating soil health through organic practices
Supporting biodiversity with cover crops and native species
Using water efficiently via drip irrigation and mulching
Ensuring fair, safe working conditions
Investing in their communities — from farm housing to local recycling projects

In South Africa’s Hexrivier Valley, for example, growers introduced waste collection for farm households and supported clean-up efforts in surrounding villages.

Each of our growers brings their own story, experience, and spirit to the fruit. From juicy oranges to fragrant lemons and rare citrus varieties, every fruit reflects the climate, craftsmanship, and care behind it.
