Over 100 years ago, co-founders Nathan W. Blanchard and Wallace G. Hardison purchased over four hundred acres of land and formed the Limoneira Company (Portuguese for Lemon Lands) in the beautiful Heritage Valley located in Ventura County, California. With its rich soil and bountiful sunshine, California is recognized as the World's Fruit Basket and the Limoneira Company is centered in the heart of this great agricultural area. The Heritage Valley, with its breathless landscapes, is also recognized as the "Grand Canyon" of citrus and avocados and produces the juiciest, most flavorful fruit known. Backed with over 116 years of growing experience, the Limoneira Company's history, heritage and legacy is truly reflected in the fruit it grows and the lifestyle it creates.
