About Us
The
president and founder of H & S CITRUS had a dream...
In the heart of this health
conscious man, it was his sincere hope, that he could produce and distribute, to people
like yourself, the most nutritious, health promoting, "taste" quality,
tree-ripened, mature oranges and grapefruit to be found in the state of Florida.
It is your and your family's health that is the primary reason he
still works everyday to provide you with the very finest citrus. |

We continuously see
medical researchers and scientists discovering new health benefits of eating Fresh Florida
Citrus.
They now know it can:
- Promote a "Healthy Heart"
- Significantly reduce the risk of "Stroke"
- Reduce the severity of "Colds and Flu Symptoms"
- May fight some types of "Cancer"
The hard work, dedication, philosophy and concerted efforts of this man, his partners
and employees has placed H & S Citrus as the leader in the citrus industry, for the
very highest standards. |

We pick from trees that
are at least 11 years old and then, only the fruit on those trees that is truly mature.
The rest is left for later harvesting, when it has had additional time to let Mother
Nature take her course and it has completely ripened.
The quality of citrus fruit is determined by the ratio between the sugar content and
acidity. We repeatedly test the fruit for this ratio, while it is in, its growing stages.
When it has reached the optimum balance, when the fruit is at its peak, then it is
harvested.
While other packers may get their fruit from the same areas -- even the same groves as H
& S Citrus, no other fruit packer matches our step by step, proven "plan for
taste and freshness". Every aspect of the H & S Citrus operation, from harvesting
to machinery to personnel and scheduling to transportation... is set up with one single
goal in mind and that is to guarantee our customers the most nutritious, sweetest,
tastiest fruit available.
Once it has passed as "H & S quality" the fruit is washed and coated with a
layer of water-soluble wax, which enhances the appearance and protects its freshness.
(This wax is easily removed with tap water.)
Even though our fruit is so carefully preselected and handled, only about 60% of the
citrus entering our packing house is ultimately shipped to our customers.
At H & S Citrus, we consider it a privilege to be a part of your fundraising efforts.
As it says in Matthew 12:13, "The tree is known by his fruit." So, too, is the
company that provides it to you.
