Limoneira Company

Limoneira Company functions as an international agricultural enterprise and property developer. Its operations are divided into three core segments: Agribusiness, Rental Operations, and Real Estate Development. The firm is responsible for the cultivation, processing, packaging, marketing, and distribution of lemons. Beyond lemons, it also cultivates avocados, oranges, and a variety of specialized citrus, such as Moro blood oranges, Cara Cara oranges, Minneola tangelos, Star Ruby grapefruit, and pummelos, alongside pistachios and wine grapes. Its substantial lemon groves encompass approximately 6,100 acres, primarily situated in California (Ventura, Tulare, San Luis Obispo, and San Bernardino Counties), Arizona (Yuma County), Argentina (Jujuy), and Chile (La Serena). An additional 800 acres in Ventura County are dedicated to avocados, while 1,000 acres of oranges are grown in California's Tulare County. Around 900 acres are allocated to its diverse specialty citrus and other crop varieties. Limoneira sells its lemons directly to a wide range of customers, including foodservice providers, wholesalers, and retailers. Avocados are supplied to a dedicated packing and marketing entity, whereas oranges, specialty citrus, and other produce are distributed through Sunkist and various third-party packinghouses. Wine grapes are sold to wine producers. Within its rental activities, the company oversees residential dwellings and commercial office spaces, and leases out roughly 500 acres of its land to external agricultural tenants. Furthermore, its real estate development arm engages in organic recycling initiatives and the construction of land parcels, multi-family residences, and single-family homes. Established in 1893, Limoneira Company maintains its headquarters in Santa Paula, California.
