In an ever-changing world, it’s nice to know that certain things are still irrevocably associated with the warmth of a Christmas holiday: visits with good friends, footed pajamas, hot chocolate with marshmallows, the smell of evergreens, and, of course, Indian River citrus. Whether in a basket or a box, accompanied by other treats or not, left under the tree or on the doorstep, the fresh, sweet taste of Florida citrus remains a welcome and eagerly anticipated constant in the flurry of today’s Christmas activity.
One of our goals at Sun Harvest Citrus is to make sure that, as life surges forward, the past is not forgotten. Toward that end, we’ve added two Christmas Grove Baskets – reminiscent of the way our granddad enjoyed citrus – to our usual line of creatively packaged fruit. We trust you’ll find something to meet your gift-giving needs. We would consider it an honor to help make your Christmas a cozy one.
Wishing you a Christmas full of tender memories.
Sun Harvest Citrus - A Family Tradition |   | In our groves and in our store, Sun Harvest Citrus has a long-standing tradition of bringing you the very best Florida-grown citrus – a tradition that spans three generations of our family.
It began in 1940 when Robert Edsall, Sr. planted his first citrus grove in Vero Beach. He chose this Indian River location because he knew the soil, water and climate conditions were perfect for growing the most delicious citrus in the world. This legacy was handed down to Robert’s son, Bobby, and continues today through the leadership of Robert’s grandson, David McKenzie.
The Sun Harvest Citrus retail store and packinghouse opened in 1990 when Sandy McKenzie Nicely, Robert’s granddaughter, decided to offer Edsall Groves’ delicious Indian River citrus to the public. She and her husband Dave are joined by Sandy’s cousin, Drew Edsall (Robert’s grandson) in offering the family’s delicious Indian River citrus, fresh-squeezed juices, gourmet foods, candies, gifts and more at their store in Fort Myers
