A Tour of the Facility
From the trees to our staff, we work year-round to provide you with the
best fruit that ever touched your lips.
It starts with the trees.
The fruit that comes from Indian River country is known for producing
the best citrus fruit. The trees here at Parker Indian River Groves work
hard year-round to produce delicious mouth-watering fruit.
Pickin' and Grinning'
We pick the fruit and bring it to our processing plant where the fruit
is prepared and loaded into the sorters.
Sorting
it all out
The fruit is loaded into our sorters. The fruit is sorted first according
to size. Once it makes it through the size sort, we have workers who check
the fruit very closely and remove any bad fruit.
Parker Indian River Groves goes the extra mile to make sure your fruit
is fresh. When we load your truck (see below), we always include extra
fruit. That way, if any of your fruit is not perfect, you have replacements
right there -- NO WAITING!

Packing
with care
Thousands of grapefruits, oranges, and other delectable citrus are passed
down the sort rows where our workers pack them into the boxes to be delivered.
There is an interesting fact that you might not realize. The fruit may
be sorted by size, but they are all packed in the same size boxes. Some
people prefer to get bigger fruit. Others people prefer to receive smaller
fruit but more pieces per box. If you have a preference, be sure to let
us know.
Loaded
and Delivered
It is amazing how many boxes of fruit are packed in our warehouse. We
have thousands that are packed, loaded on trucks, and delivered to our
customers.
