Florida was built on citrus - its cities, its economy, its identity and its place in the American imagination all grew from the orange groves that have defined this state for over a century. Citrus is the Florida brand!

​

The mission of the Florida Citrus Heritage Foundation is to recognize persons who have made significant contributions to the Florida citrus industry, to conduct programs that educate, promote, preserve and communicate the importance and history of Florida citrus; and to secure funds for use in such endeavors. 

​

We hope you will join us in supporting the accomplishments of these industry leaders and our quest to make those accomplishments known to future generations for many years to come. Thank you for visiting and we hope you enjoy your time with our citrus pioneers!
