Indian River citrus fruit originates from the most famous water way system in Florida; the Indian River. This river is actually part of a lagoon system, or estuary that extends 156 miles down Florida’s east coast and that forms the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, and was originally named the Rio de Ais, after the Ais Indian tribe. The river extends from the border of Volusia and Brevard Counties and runs south along Merritt Island, where it merges with Banana River and continues toward the St. Lucie Inlet. The soil near the river is calcium rich, and ideal for growing delicious Indian River citrus full of vitamins and minerals. The first oranges were grown here in 1926, and since then, Indian River citrus has become one of the best loved varieties. Our beautiful groves thrive in the ideal climate, and the quality of the fruit reflects both the nutrient rich soil of the region, and our sophisticated growing system. Indian River citrus includes oranges and grapefruits that are rich in color, rich in flavor, and rich in natural antioxidants as well. The health benefits of citrus fruits are only now truly beginning to be recognized, as scientists discover further proof of what we at Hale Grove have known all along: citrus fruit is the key to a healthier life.
