Oranges

When you crave something that's both sweet and good for you, it's hard to beat a fresh Florida orange. Not only are oranges deliciously sweet and juicy, they're low in sodium, cholesterol and saturated fat, and are an excellent source of potassium, dietary fiber, and Vitamins A and C.

The best oranges don't get that way by accident. They require a climate that offers great soil and protection from frost and cold temperatures. Harvey's family-owned groves in Florida's Indian River region offer all this and more.

The Indian River, and Merritt Island in particular (located right in the middle of the river and home to our groves), is the best place in the world to grow delicious, healthy oranges. Merritt Island is protected by warm, brackish currents and soft ocean breezes. They protect our trees in winter and keep the groves cool in summer. It's the perfect place to raise plump, sweet oranges!

The Harvey family planted their first groves on Merritt Island way back in 1926. Thoughout the company's 84-year history, there's always been a member of the family taking care of the groves, making sure every Florida Indian River orange is picked by hand at the peak of ripeness, then carefully packed and shipped in refrigerated trucks.
