The 2024 season tested the resilience and grit of our Texas team (again!). After 30+ years between freeze events, the Rio Grande Valley went through its second in three years. In addition to erratic weather, our Texas #citruspeople continue to manage through a water crisis caused by drought and a delay in water deliveries from Mexico required under the 1944 treaty. Despite it all, our Texas team persevered and now prepares for the 2024/25 season. This week we took some time to celebrate the team’s effort and results in 2024, discuss Wonderful Citrus future strategy, and visit our plantings and ongoing R&D trials. This team makes no excuses and keeps redefining how Texas citrus will be grown/packed/sold in the next decade. #SweetScarletts #RioGrandeJuice

Betsy Quintana, Harvest Director, shares her expertise on how to plan for the harvest of our fresh-quality citrus. "The fruit estimates and data gathered during the summer tells us which locations to harvest first, while customer demand for volume and size drives our seasonal and weekly planning. Our open line of communication with farming, varietal planning teams, and sales is the golden thread that ensures excellent execution."

When you call yourself Wonderful, you do things differently. Wonderful means setting your own standard, then raising your own bar. It means never compromising on quality and always choosing the right way, especially when it's the hard way. Wonderful means putting your best into every step of the way, from seed to store. That's what we do. And that's why no one does citrus like us. We are your go-to citrus experts!
