Few fruits are more delicious, or better for you, than
tart-but-sweet, fresh-from-the-tree Grapefruits. And there's no better place to grow them
than in Florida's acclaimed Indian River region.
The Indian River, and
Merritt Island in particular (situated in the middle of the
river and home to Harvey's family-owned groves),
is the best place in the world to grow delicious, healthy Grapefruits. The company has been growing exceptionally large, juicy,
and surprisingly sweet Indian
River Grapefruit there for
over 80 years.
Merritt Island is protected
by warm, brackish currents and gentle ocean breezes. The
climate and soil enrich and protect our groves in winter
and keep them cool in summer. The result is the perfect
place to raise plump, sweet Ruby
Reds and Golden
Grapefruits.
The Harvey family planted their first groves on Merritt
Island back in 1926. Thoughout the company's 84-year history,
there's always been a member of the Harvey family tending
the groves, making sure each luscious Indian
River Grapefruit reaches
the peak of ripeness before it's picked by hand and shipped
to customers in refrigerated trucks.
