On October 1st, Limoneira proudly hosted our Director’s Field Day, an annual event organized by our Board of Directors and Management. Nearly 200 lively attendees came together to enjoy lunch and foster camaraderie. We were pleased to hear insightful company updates from Board Chair Scott Slater and President & CEO Harold Edwards. Limoneira would like to thank all attendees for their enthusiastic participation and for helping to create a wonderful sense of community.

We're not just harnessing the power of the sun—we're storing it too! Through our partnership with Tesla, Limoneira uses cutting-edge battery technology to store solar energy during the day and use it at night or when the sun isn't shining. This gets us one step closer to our goals for clean energy operations.

We're excited to share this in-depth interview with Harold Edwards, President and CEO, in the latest issue of Vision Magazine North America! He reflects on the transformative changes in the lemon industry, Limoneira's bold strategies for future growth, and the exciting opportunities in avocado production. Discover how deep agricultural roots, innovation, and adaptability are driving success in the ever-evolving world of agribusiness. https://lnkd.in/g_jtv7iC

In the 1940s, Limoneira developed an exceptional variety of lemons, the Limco 8A, which was cultivated in our Olivelands 8-A Orchard. This particular lemon exhibits greater resistance to disease, yields more fruit, is high in quality, and has an extended shelf life. The Limco 8A remains one of the standard bearers in global lemon production. At Limoneira, innovation drives our mission to deliver the very best in citrus.

What a season it’s been! To show our appreciation for our amazing avocado picking crews and their hard work throughout this long harvest, we threw a BBQ to celebrate their commitment to excellence. Thank you for all that you do! We couldn’t do it without your efforts!

We recently had the privilege of welcoming a passionate group of food safety and farming experts to our ranch as part of the Alliance for Food and Farming's Farm Tour! Together, we explored our beautiful orchards and packing houses, where we shared insights into our sustainable farming practices, rich history, and rigorous safety measures. The morning was filled with engaging conversations and meaningful connections. Thank you to this remarkable group for joining us.

We don't need a mirror to tell us that our booth was the "fair"-est of them all. With over 130 years of sun-soaked history, it's a rare treat for Limoneira to join an event that's been around even longer than we have. This year, we were thrilled to Catch the Citrus Wave? as the Ventura County Fair celebrated its 150th anniversary. We loved sharing the Limoneira vibe at our booth and connecting with the local VC community. Be sure to check us out next year and get some free Limoneira stickers, magnets, beach balls, and even Stanley cups.

When it comes to wooden boxes, it's important to nail the details! With over 131 years in operation, Limoneira has continually evolved its practices. In the early days, lemons were shipped in wooden crates, with workers hand-nailing covers for protection. Today, Limoneira uses sustainably sourced, fully recyclable cardboard, ensuring that every step in delivering the finest quality citrus to customers is done with environmental responsibility in mind.
