Indian River Citrus is the Best You can Buy
When you want to give a gift that is high quality without spending a fortune you should give Indian River citrus fruits, either alone or in gift baskets. Indian River citrus fruit has been known around the world as the best citrus fruit money can buy for over a hundred years. In the early 20th century the famers who lived and worked in the Indian River district in Florida banded together to get the government to issue an injunction stopping other Florida citrus growers from saying their fruit was grown in the Indian River district when it wasn’t. The other growers were telling customers that the fruit was grown in the Indian River district because even then people knew that the best fruit came from the Indian River area.
After that the citrus growers who owned groves in the Indian River district formed a loose organization designed to market their fruit and protect the Indian River name. Thanks to their efforts today you can be sure that any fruit bearing the Indian River name was grown in the best place in the world for citrus fruit to grow. The Indian River district is a very unique location. It’s situated far enough from the coast of Florida to be safe from hurricanes and other storms, but close enough to the water to enjoy the tropical weather that Florida is famous for. Whenever there is a frost or cold snap, which does occasionally happen throughout Florida in the cold weather, the farmers in the Indian River district flood their citrus groves with warm water from the Indian River lagoon. The warmth raises the air temperature to help prevent the fruit from freezing or being damaged by the cold, so the fruit stays delicious.
