Limoneira has been around for more than 128 years, so obviously sustainability is at the forefront of everything we do! However, we wouldn’t be here if we didn’t have our caring, enthusiastic community of families who call Limoneira HOME! We sat down with Gail Kvistad of Living Local to discuss ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) and our commitment to stewardship, and also how Limoneira has been doing so much to be a home to its team members. In fact, Limoneira has been providing housing to employees for over a century, and providing scholarships and tuition for many of the students, too. Offering education to the families who live here is and has been a priority for Limoneira, as we want to ensure these families have future opportunities to grow! That’s why Limoneira has promoted from within! Join Limoneira as we discuss how all of our efforts combine to provide a great environment for people to live and work here, and how ESG is at the forefront of everything we do! |

Holiday cheers with Limoneira "Santa" beers! Straight from our collaboration with Rincon Brewery, Chas Cloud, Head Brewer, said, “Conceptually, this beer was brewed to be a kind of liquid fruit cake with a citrus glaze, Christmas in a glass!” This beer features wildflower honey from the good people at Blue Ridge Honey that combines so beautifully with the bright lemon and navel orange peel. Flavors of dried dark fruit and caramel balanced against just enough bitterness provide contrast to the citrus notes, perfect complement to the festive foods of the season. Result? The festive Santa Holiday Ale!
Chas continues, “It has been a great experience working with Limoneira on both the Santa and Paula beers, and I really enjoyed learning about the rich history of the company and how it has been such an integral part of the Santa Paula area. I and the rest of the Rincon Brewery team wish you all a happy Holiday season. Cheers!" Santa Holiday Ale is now available at all three Rincon Brewery locations in California: Ventura, Carpinteria, and Santa Barbara.

Stay Healthy this Holiday Season |

"What we eat is really central to our overall health, and that includes the immune system," says Janine Souffront, RDN, a registered dietitian and supervisor of Health Education for L.A. Care Health Plan. It’s no surprise that she supports eating healthy, nutrient-rich foods to help your body fight off illness.
According to this recent article, these foods include CITRUS. In fact, citrus fruits like oranges or lemons are packed with vitamin C, which is well-known for immune support. According to Souffront, adult women should get 75 mg of vitamin C per day, while men should get 90 mg.
How much is in a medium orange? About 70 mg! And, a lemon? Approximately 30mg!
A 2017 review published in Biomed Research International found that taking 1 gram (1,000 mg) of vitamin C per day reduced the duration of a cold by 8% in adults and 18% in children. And while it can't necessarily prevent you from getting a cold, it may help your ability to fight it. So make sure you keep Limoneira citrus on hand during the holiday season! Out of our citrus? Well, get it delivered straight to your door! Order now at FreshFocusDelivery.com.
