Meet One of California’s Citrus Growers
Behind California’s citrus industry are dedicated farmers who care for the land and produce exceptional fruit. CDFA recognizes National Citrus Month and in collaboration with California Grown, we’re spotlighting one of the many growers helping shape the future of California agriculture.
In the video below, Greg Lewis, owner of Sunset Ridge Fine Fruits in Newcastle (Placer County, California) shares what it means to farm citrus sustainably, prioritize soil health, and stay deeply connected to the local community.
We invite our farming and agriculture community to watch and hear firsthand how growers like Greg are growing delicious mandarins and other fruits, along with supporting local economies, and helping to keep agriculture thriving for the next generation.
