April is Here!
Itā€™s SPRING ā€“ the perfect time to renew your spirit and your ā€˜zestā€™ for life! We here at Limoneira hope to help you find plenty of great reasons to put a spring in your step and discover new ways to use and enjoy Limoneira citrus in your daily life! 

Plus, with Earth Day this month, we think itā€™s even that much more important to share how we are committed to our stewardship of the land and have been for over 127 years. So, we take our responsibility to the environment to heart. In fact, we continue to make investments in solar energy, integrated pest management, green waste recycling, and patented low-tech water projects, making Earth Day feel like every day here at the ranch!

Safety First, Vaccines for All
One thing we all care about is taking care of each otherā€™s health! We are proud to say that we were the first packing house in Ventura County to host a mobile clinic to safeguard our folks here at Limoneira! Our COVID Mobile Clinic has been well-received and allowed 476 people to get their first dose on Saturday, February 27th, with their second dose end of March. Safety for everyone here is something we have always taken to heart, so we have been extra thrilled to be able to provide these sought-after vaccines easily and conveniently right here on the ranch. Cheers to everyone staying safe and healthy!

Sustainability Update
Want to know the best thing about being a ā€˜misfit?ā€™ Well, if youā€™re a lemon, thatā€™s a pretty beautiful label to earn! Food producers and retailers throw away large amounts of perfectly edible produce that fail to meet beauty standards, contributing to the environmental issue of food waste - and thereā€™s way too much of it! Almost one-third of food produced ends up in the garbage ā€¦. either lost or wasted, adding to $680 billion in industrialized countries (billions!) lost annually. Thatā€™s why we think our dear ā€œLemon Misfitsā„¢ā€ whoā€™ve been exposed to high winds and suffered some ā€˜windburnsā€™ are even that much more important. They are the perfect lemons for our customers who truly care about food waste and want to be as resourceful as we do! Plus, these lemons arenā€™t really misfits at all, no sir! Theyā€™re still as beautiful and delicious as their Limoneira lemon besties. And we all know that beauty is only skin (or peel?) deep!

Social Media Must-See!
Look what has sprung in Arizona and Idaho! The ā€œPeelinā€™ Good Tourā€ has expanded and is showcasing two fabulous social media influencers, @theplantpoweredparents and @tastefullytyler.
 
What we love about The Plant-Powered Parents is their desire to provide good health to their children and themselves, and in doing so, discovered that plants donā€™t have to be a side dish! They put plants on center stage, and youā€™ll find terrific plant-based recipes when you check them out. We canā€™t wait to see all of the Limoneira dishes coming this month. And Tyler really has taken the deep dive into the food scene! It started with his Air Force assignment to Idaho, but before we go on, thank you for your service, Tyler! Then, he started getting into the local food scene while he traveled the globe! So, look at what heā€™s dishing out especially for our tour in April. FYI - More cities to come next month!

The Matrix
Can you imagine how much change in society, culture, and technology happens over a span of 127 years? We can tell you - because weā€™ve been around for just that long. This is quite an accomplishment that few companies share, and the one most precious thing that has remained as our top priority is sustainability. We love implementing new technologies into Limoneiraā€™s ranch and operations, and we have been forward-thinking since our inception. Preserving our land, our resources, and taking care of our environment is why we feel weā€™ve become such leaders in the world of citrus, and here's a fascinating behind-the-scenes glimpse (VIDEO) into Limoneiraā€™s Sustainability Matrix. Now you can see firsthand what sustainability really means!

What in the World?
Perhaps we should say WHERE in the world? And we think weā€™d love to be in Amsterdam, taking in all of these gorgeous tulips in bloom right now! Letā€™s pretend we are, as it is beautiful TULIP season and the annual Tulip Festival is kicking off as we speak! There are countless flower fields full of tulips, daffodils, and hyacinths everywhere ā€“ as far as the eyes can behold! The Dutch countryside landscape views are a beautiful compliment to the colored fields. So, weā€™d thought youā€™d like to just enjoy the colors of the season and behold these gorgeous tulips - only in spring, folks. Only in spring!
