United States ·
Limoneira is a US agricultural company based in Santa Paula, California, founded in Ventura County in 1893. Its core business is growing lemons and avocados and packing lemons, and it also grows oranges and other specialty citrus. It describes itself as an agribusiness and real estate development company, so property development sits beside farming. In 2026 the company transferred its citrus brokerage operations to Sunkist, and its website now directs citrus customers to that partner.
Limoneira's lemons go through its own packing operation before reaching the fresh market. In a lemon packing house, fruit is washed, graded for size and quality and packed into cartons, and because lemons keep well in storage, packers can spread sales over a longer period. With brokerage now handled by Sunkist, citrus buyers deal with that channel, while suppliers of farm and packing inputs work with Limoneira's own operating units. The change of sales model also shapes how its revenue moves from year to year.
Size of the business
Limoneira's total revenue was USD 85.9 million for the nine months ended 31 July 2026. In the third quarter alone it sold approximately 1.373 million cartons of fresh lemons.
Is USD 85.9 million a full-year figure?
No. It covers the nine months ended 31 July 2026.
Where should citrus purchasing enquiries go?
Citrus sales now run through Sunkist, and Limoneira's website directs citrus customers there.
