Limoneira Wins Chipotle’s Food with Integrity Award

In a press release, Chipotle stated that “We think the time is right to focus more of our marketing on our commitment to finding the best sustainably raised ingredients we can. While we have never sourced these ingredients to be a marketing platform, it is what makes Chipotle so different from other restaurant companies, and we think people are more receptive to hearing it now than ever before. The more people know about the lengths we go to to source the best ingredients, the more likely they are to become loyal customers, particularly with a growing number of people interested in knowing the source of their food.” Chipotle’s use of premium quality ingredients from more sustainable sources demonstrates the company’s commitment to providing food that tastes good and is better for its customers. By calling out norms in fast-food advertising and promptly violating them, the campaign speaks to how Chipotle is shirking traditional fast-food advertising because it bucks traditional fast-food wisdom.    We, at Limoneira, are honored and humbled to receive this important award from Chipotle, and we will continue to pursue innovative sustainability programs to deliver the finest citrus to the marketplace.

Food Trends 2021: Staying Healthy in a Post Covid-19 World

According to Forbes Magazine, the impact on food trends in 2021 will change the way people eat and shop due to Covid-19 forever.   The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the frailties of the food world and its supply chain. For many people this has been the first time in their lives they went into our supermarkets and couldn’t buy toilet paper or flour or cow’s milk or their favorite brands and now, the latest shortages – frozen pizza and pepperoni. In some stores many shelves were bare and shoppers were scared and shocked about the possibilities of having no food to feed their families.   2020 unveiled many challenges- a global pandemic, an economic recession and the continued impact of global warming. This past year over 44,000 wildfires in the United States burned almost eight million acres and many of those acres were farms and ranches where our food is grown and livestock raised. In the face of the uncertainty, a survey conducted by Acosta, the consumer packaged goods sales and marketing agency found that if the pandemic does again force public lockdowns, 53% of Americans say they will stockpile groceries, hygienic products, and school supplies, and that is an increase of 15% of respondents who said they stockpiled at the start of the pandemic.

Supermarkets responded quickly putting in place enhanced sanitation procedures, signage, minimizing in-store traffic and especially expanding fledgling e-commerce efforts; all the while focused on building trust and confidence from their customers who remain deeply concerned about food availability amid rising prices coupled with a high unemployment rate.   And at the same time, these retailers were trying to meet the needs of adults who were faced with working at home, while tending to the needs of their school-aged children – who were attending classes online, or had limited school days, or wondering if their schools will even open – all the while trying to balance good eating habits with satisfying their families emotional needs. Forcing a new business model on supermarkets. There is little doubt that Covid-19 impacted Americans in many ways. There is a new understanding of what and how people eat and how these foods and beverages have a significant effect on their stamina, strength, and immunity to fight off viruses and other health abnormalities. Shoppers have changed how they are choosing their foods with a new desire for reading labels, understanding what ingredients are in their foods, where their food comes from and which foods they should avoid. The International Food Information Council’s 2020 Food & Health Survey findings echo this COVID-era analysis and prediction that the industry must build trust and help stressed households achieve their wellness goals. 54% of all consumers, and 63% of those 50+, care more about the healthfulness of their food and beverage choices in 2020 than did in 2010; healthfulness is the biggest mover, more so than taste and price.     Active dieting has grown this year as people look at their scales and find their jeans a little too snug as they work from home, snack more often and indulge to feel emotionally more stable – to 43% of Americans, up from 38% in 2019 and 36% in 2018. 18% of Americans use an app or health monitoring device to track their physical activity, food consumption or overall health; 45% of users say it helps greatly; 66% say it led to healthy changes they otherwise wouldn’t have made.

Limoneira’s Nature’s Pharmacy App was unveiled in 2019 and offered the perfect assist for shoppers making healthful choices. The Company cross-tabulated 57 health concerns including the need to increase good cholesterol, prevent cardiovascular disease or ease insomnia, as well as desired outcomes, including improving energy levels or reducing wrinkles, with 74 fruits and vegetables. All of these foods, which can be found in the produce section of most grocery stores, contain 12 essential vitamins and 11 essential minerals that address these concerns or help with desired outcomes. By selecting a concern or outcome, the app then generates foods in the produce aisle that can help consumers achieve their health goals. Additional information from Acosta’s survey is illuminating: 26% of U.S. consumers snack multiple times a day, and another third snack at least once daily; 38% say they replace meals with snacks (usually lunch) at least occasionally. 28% of Americans eat more proteins from plant sources vs. 2019, 24% eat more plant-based dairy, and 17% eat more plant-based meat alternatives. 74% of Americans try to limit sugar intake in 2020, down from 80% in 2019. Another trend resulting from Covid-19 is that a significant number of Americans want to return to their pre- Covid weight (and in some cases reduce their weight) as a major health goal. But the only way they will succeed, based on Spoon Guru’s prediction, will be based on a combination of capability, opportunity and motivation.   Pre-pandemic, the average shopper visited a food store 2.3 times a week and spent on average about 20 minutes per shopping trip. Enjoying the aromas and colors of the produce department, sampling new products, learning how to prepare a new recipe and consulting with a retail dietitian led to enhanced and satisfying shopping experiences. Today we are lucky if shoppers come to the store even once a week.

What Will the Future Hold in 2021?

Expect to see more plant-based and plant-forward foods. We will see a shift to more wholesome carbs from whole grains, ancient grains. Much more attention will be given to foods that contain Vitamin C and supplements to boost immunity. More blended foods-think flexitarians versus vegans. It’s not about extremes – it will be about the balance between animal and plant protein. Our grocery shelves will be overrun with innovations that are designed to meet the needs of the pandemic shopper. Higher anxiety led to new products like PepsiCo’s new drink called Driftwell that is meant to help consumers relax and unwind before bed. The enhanced water drink contains 200 milligrams of L-theanine and 10% of the daily value of magnesium. This from a brand that was built on caffeine and high fructose corn syrup. Consumers aren’t just eating at home more but they’re also managing their health at home. Early research published in Nutrition & Dietetics showed that telehealth in Australia keeps patients compliant with care regimens to improve health outcomes. The results are impactful. When compared to a traditional group weight loss program, those engaged in a telehealth program lost similar amounts of weight over six months. A meta-analysis found telephone-delivered nutrition counseling is effective in improving eating patterns of individuals with chronic conditions. 50% of telephone counseling in published literature is with individuals with diabetes, heart disease, cancer, chronic kidney disease and osteoarthritis.

In the US, Kroger Health launched a telenutrition service that’s free, as long as the pandemic lasts, to help customers navigate the new normal. As part of its Food as Medicine platform, it offers unlimited free virtual consultations with a registered dietitian via video chat, using the code COVID, personalized support and plans for individuals and families, and management of food-related health issues.   Texas has the most uninsured adults and the third-most uninsured children in the U.S. So when grocer H-E-B launched telemedicine with the partner MDBox app in the summer of 2019, it was a welcome affordable solution. Walk-ins can have a video-chat doctor visit at the pharmacy counter within 30 minutes for less than $50. Packaging will contain more QR codes that can verify product and ingredient claims and DNA kits will continue to evolve. Viome, for example, a kit that focuses on gut health, produces two reports for a shopper one that focuses on what you should and should not eat, and the other focused on the traits in our bodies and what they mean.   But take that kind of information and embed it within the shopping experience, easily and simply – and see what magic can happen. Viome has also just launched a new product - supplements based on your profile - personalized for your individual needs to help you ‘correct’ those gut-related issues.

The FMI Family Meals effort has long promoted the benefits to health and to society and the pandemic has given the effort more substance and reason to embrace, with encouraging results.  Eating together as a family helps kids have better self-esteem, more success in school, and lower the risk of depression and substance-use disorders. Kids that learn to cook eat healthier as adults. If they learn by ages 18-23, they eat more vegetables, less fast food, and more family meals a decade later. Home preparation of more plant-based proteins such as dry beans and lentils, tofu, and homemade veggie burgers are helping shoppers discover that good nutrition can be delicious. Changing mindsets about wellness now include self-compassion. Eating is one of the basic ways we care for ourselves. And disruptions in food and activity routines have people thinking about how they redefine wellness. The supermarket world is changing, and as we look around us – around the entire globe – we need to open our eyes and imagine what is possible – and understand that everything has changed and through smart food technologies we can improve the health and wellness of every shopper.

Top Foodservice Trends of 2021

Staying informed on foodservice industry trends is essential for identifying the wants and needs of customers, as well as shifting dynamics in the foodservice industry. In 2020, businesses around the world confronted the COVID-19 pandemic, forcing them to adjust to a new business environment and adhere to social distancing guidelines. These businesses adopted innovative new products and business practices, resulting in a new wave of restaurant trends, many of which figure to shape the future of the foodservice industry. Below is a list of the most prominent equipment, service, delivery, and technology trends in the restaurant industry heading into the 2021 calendar year.

Tamper Evident Containers As demand for takeout services increases, so does the interest in ensuring food hasn’t been tampered with. Tamper evident containers are designed to seal orders once they’re ready for pickup or delivery. Not only does this help ensure that customers' food isn’t exposed or contaminated, but it makes it clear when food packaging has been opened.

Single-Serving Packaged Meals As grab-and-go options continue to take precedence over dining in, establishments like cafes and coffee shops are altering their offerings to be available as single-serving packaged meals. Customers are taking advantage of prepared food, such as wrapped sandwiches or pre-blended smoothies, from their favorite local businesses. Some eateries have even been concocting lunch box-inspired packaged meals, complete with a main, a side, a soup, and a dessert.

Curbside Pickup In a world where people want to order takeout from restaurants without paying a delivery fee or coming into contact with anyone, curbside pickup has flourished. With so many different ways to get food from a restaurant, customers have seen that this is the most affordable and safest option, while still being able to support restaurants. It’s as simple as ordering and paying ahead of time, driving up to the restaurant’s curb, securing your food without any contact, and driving back home.

Custom Meal Kits  Restaurants have become increasingly creative with ways to drive sales this year, with custom meal kits being a wonderful niche product. Custom meal kits are made up of pre-measured components to make a restaurant’s dish at home, without the fear of unsafe food handling of the final product. Pizza shops provide unbaked dough balls, sauce, cheese, and other toppings, while ramen restaurants provide broth, noodles, proteins, vegetables, and garnishes.

Ghost Kitchens / Virtual Kitchens As the future of food becomes increasingly take-out and delivery heavy, restaurants are no longer finding a need for a front-of-house dining area and are turning to a fully operated ghost kitchen model. Having just a kitchen cuts the cost of rent, servers, furniture, bartenders, and electricity. Instead, the money goes towards high-quality ingredients and a top-of-the-line kitchen, or lowering the cost of menus to attract more online orders.

Drive-In Restaurant Service  No longer a memory from the past, drive-in diners are making a comeback as customers seek ways to safely go out to eat. The drive-in diner provides a parking area that distances cars from one another. The customers simply input their orders in a system or order online, receive the service at their car window, and eat inside of their vehicle. This is a great way for restaurants to utilize their restaurant’s lot, keep their servers and cooks on schedule, and operate their outdoor patio and take out services.

Adapting Menus for Delivery / Takeout  Most Michelin starred restaurants are fine-dining, and part of their cost is about the unmatched service and dining room artistry. These restaurants have had to change their model significantly, with some turning into caterers or creatively changing 10-course tasting menus into grab-and-go bakeries out of windows. Keeping workers employed and doors open ensures they’ll one day be back to normal operations.

No-Contact Delivery With an increased demand for food to be delivered directly to customer’s homes, it’s important to find a suitable alternative for delivery. Not only does no-contact delivery limit interactions between people, but it also limits contact with food as it’s prepared and packaged. Through the use of contactless cooking, tamper-evident packaging, touchless payment, and designated delivery spots, no contact delivery establishes a safe and sanitary method of getting food to customers.

Grocery Delivery Services  With more people ordering takeout or food delivery, many grocery stores are taking it upon themselves to offer their version of a delivery service, allowing customers to cook from home while minimizing their exposure to others. It’s now possible to create a virtual cart and have it delivered to your front door. Grocery delivery services allow business owners the flexibility of allowing guests to pick their order up from the store once it's been prepared.

Third-Party Delivery Services  In uncertain times, third-party delivery services have not only acted as an additional form of ordering food but as a source of income for many people looking for work. Services such as Uber Eats, Doordash, and GrubHub are partnering with restaurants to create a platform where customers can order online and have an independent driver deliver their food directly to their door. By partnering with these services, business owners cut costs and eliminate specific administrative tasks to focus on more pressing issues.

Meal Subscription Services As more money is spent on the internet, a variety of innovative subscription services are beginning to launch. Similar to services like Netflix and Spotify, meal subscription services require you to pay a monthly fee in return for service. These services allow customers to create a weekly or monthly meal plan based on their preferences. Once they've chosen what they want to eat, the ingredients are shipped to their door and they can begin to cook.

Restaurant Technology Trends

As the health of employees and customers becomes a top priority in restaurants, advanced technology is developing to aid in making restaurants as safe as possible amid a global pandemic. The push for various contactless dining options is becoming commonplace, while technology that actively tries to lower the risk of spreading bacteria and viruses is favored by many eateries, hospitals, and hotels.

QR Code Menus  A Quick Response (QR) code is a type of barcode that holds information and can be accessed through a smartphone’s camera (depending on the model) or with an external app. Recently, restaurants have been using QR code technology to house their menus. This eliminates the need for servers to have more interaction time with customers, as well as cuts down on contact surfaces with tangible menus.

Individual POS System Checkout To further reduce interaction time between servers and customers, restaurants have started setting up Point of Sale (POS) checkout systems at tables. When customers have finished dining, they no longer have to wait for their servers to bring them their bill. Customers can pay at their leisure whenever they are finished with their dining experience.

Advanced Online Ordering Software To streamline orders and offer customers the best service possible, larger restaurant chains have been creating their own apps. These apps allow the sending out of push notifications about specials and coupon codes. These apps can also save previous orders to create an express checkout for faster service. Other restaurants have also been taking orders that are placed over text, while Twitter has been seeing an uptick of customer orders placed through tweets to certain restaurants.

Sanitizing Using UV Lights Ultraviolet (UV) lights have been used to disinfect high-traffic areas such as the New York City subway or hospitals, and are now making their way into restaurants to quickly disinfect potentially harmful surfaces. Whether the UV lights are installed at the door upon entry or hanging in the dining area, this UV light has given customers and employees an extra layer of security when handling the restaurant experience. UV lights have even been installed in grocery stores over conveyor belts for a quick clean of customers’ products.

Safeguarding Water at Limoneira

Water is rapidly becoming as vital as oil, and the supply of this natural resource faces continual pressure from growing populations, economic activities and the increasing need for agricultural food production. Limoneira takes important steps to protect this valuable resource. Water quality and supply is maintained through rigorous lab testing, filtration systems, and a network of micro-sprinklers. Efficiency is the name of the game in treading lightly on the land and providing bottom-line results. As both a leading provider of agricultural products and a community builder, Limoneira recognizes that balance is essential to ensuring that demand is served. We work with a variety of stakeholders including governmental agencies, grower partners and community leaders on this important issue. Water Probes are part of our innovative water management practices. Soil Moisture probes measure volumetric water content and are connected to data loggers utilized in the irrigation control system. Soil Moisture Stations log water data and send it to a main controller. Drones are used to monitor tree health Each station has a radio unit powered by a solar panel There are three sensors connected to each station under wetted areas at specified depths This system is designed with one water station per orchard block. The irrigation control system receives data from the sensor stations. It is uploaded from the controller to the internet and can be viewed remotely from a cellphone or a computer AGQ Vacuum Tubes are used to capture water as it passes through the soil at three different depths (8",16",24" - 3 tubes per station) Captured water can be analyzed for fertilizer concentrations and other materials injected through the irrigation system at each depth Water with appropriate fertilizer quantity to desired root zone depths is monitored Moisture sensors can determine when orchards are at full water holding capacity, thus reducing runoff and wasted water Dual-line drip hoses are also used to enable water to penetrate down which create a deep and sturdy root system and help reduce weed and herbicide use
