The Florida Food Products Process

From The Garden

The harvest season is primarily November to June. Before harvest, cultivars are selected for nutrient and phytoceutical content. Hybrids are often developed using tissue culture or through exhaustive cross-breeding. Farmers are audited for traceability and chemical input or, if applicable, under the guidelines of the natural organic program (NOP).

To Our Factory

Bulk transport equipment hauls produce to our factory the same day as harvest. Produce can be held in refrigerated storage or is processed within 24 hours. Incoming materials are checked to meet specification for freshness, cleanliness, and chemical assay.

To Extraction

Produce enters the factory in bulk then passes manual grading and magnet sensors. Each vegetable/fruit product has a uniquely developed process to meet requirements of stability, freshness, and rich color. In less than an hour, from raw materials entering the factory, juice concentrates are in storage under frozen conditions. Low temperature evaporation is one of the keys to our high color and freshness standards. Juice concentrates, as clarified/cloudy and as liquid blends, are delivered directly to the customer.

Delivered To Our Customer

Finished products are shipped frozen, preserved, or as shelf stable powders in 5 gallon, 55 gallon, and 20 kg laminated lined boxes. Certificates of analysis are provided with each order. Our transportation, customer service, and marketing departments are committed to responding to your requests within 24 hours.
