Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No! It’s our Limoneira drones! Hovering high above our orchards, drones keep a vigilant eye on our citrus. Drones monitor tree health, which in turn ensures that every sun-kissed fruit thrives and that we have a fruitful harvest!

Celebrate Earth Day!⁠ ⁠ “You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.”⁠ — Jane Goodall⁠

The Revolutionary War, commencing on April 19, 1775, marked a pivotal moment in history. While attributing America's victory solely to lemons would be a stretch, their contribution was indeed significant. Lemon juice emerged as a staple invisible ink utilized by spies.

Hummingbirds: nature's flying acrobats with a zest for nectar! No one or animal can resist the sweet smells coming from the lemon orchards. Limoneira is often visited by Hummingbirds, the only birds capable of hovering in mid-air, allowing them to sip nectar from flowers.

Jumpstarting a car demands approximately 100 amperes, whereas a single lemon yields a mere 1.5 milliamperes. Crunching some numbers, it would take roughly 66 million lemons to kickstart a car. Brace yourselves, world – a lemon-fueled vehicle fleet could be on the horizon!

Juice up your day with a pulp of positivity! Not every fruit we grow is the prettiest, and sometimes our trees just grow too much fruit. The taste and quality of the fruit still meet our high standards, so we send it to be juiced or processed into a longer-lasting product.

The "Teague Method" is a curing method that controls the temperature and humidity of fruit, decreasing the rate of fruit decay. By using canvas tarps to cover the fruit and open-air storage sheds, fruits were kept cooler and fresher longer until air conditioning became available.

Happy Easter from everyone at Limoneira!

Since 1893, Limoneira lemons have been handpicked by some of the hardest-working people around. By using a caring touch, our talented harvest crews ensure that the most fruit will reach your table unscathed while minimizing food waste.

Originally used on January 1, 1915, the Compass trademark has been a Limoneira staple for 109 years. The word “compass” stems from the Latin word "circum-passus," which translates to "going around" or "measuring around." In Old French, the term transitioned to "compas,"

Using Bluewhite’s autonomous tractors in our orchards, Limoneira believes that innovative solutions are needed to meet the demands of today’s agriculture industry.

Waste is a load of rubbish – let's bag a better future! One of the easiest ways of ensuring sustainability is decreasing food waste and making sure that the only lemons leaving the ranch are ones that can meet our high standards.

We’re serving up a ‘bowl-tiful’ tribute to the Golden Bowl trademark! Today, we’re celebrating the 112th anniversary of the Golden Bowl trademark being commercially used. Limoneira has been proudly using the label since it merged with the Teague-McKevvet Company in 1995.

Hang on tight! These lemons might blow you away! One of the easiest ways to protect our citrus trees is bigger trees. Windbreak trees provide a shield for the orchards, protecting them from the impact of wind, which decreases damaged fruit and minimizes stress on the trees.

Since 1986, Limoneira's Sincerity Brand has become synonymous with a commitment to excellence in the fruit industry, leaving an elephant-sized impression on consumers who have come to expect nothing less than the highest standards of quality and flavor in every piece of citrus.

These solar panels work tirelessly towards a brighter future by converting sunlight into a sustainable energy source. As a project to sue California native plants as vegetative understory, Limoneira is able to use miniature sheep to graze and maintain the solar panels.

One unique fact about Limoneira is that it still holds the trademark for the Bridal Veil Brand, which we first commercially used on January 5, 1892. We are proud of our history and have continued to renew and protect our brands to preserve our heritage.

For over 130 years, we have been utilizing photosynthesis to convert light into sugar & oxygen, making sweet, premium citrus & clean air. The leaves are full of chlorophyll, which runs microscopic biochemical reactions fueling the foundation of Limoneira & Earth’s ecosystem.

Around the 1930s, Limoneira began advertising our "Rough Diamond" brand label, highlighting that even lemons touched by nature are still high-quality fruit. We like to remember that what really matters is what's on the inside.
