Produces and packs lemons, sells avocados and other crops, and operates rental, land, water, and California real-estate assets. The business is concentrated in agribusiness but shaped by Sunkist execution, harvest timing, weather, water availability, labor, and development approvals.
Produces fresh lemons, lemon packing services, avocados, and other agribusiness crops from a Santa Paula base, with operations tied to California and select international farming regions. Other agribusiness includes oranges, specialty citrus, and wine grapes, while rental operations and real-estate development sit alongside the crop business.
Owns agricultural land and water resources and carries a land-stewardship identity rooted in its original lemon acreage. Lemon products can carry Limoneira and Sunkist branding after the packinghouse license transition, and management is shifting activity toward higher avocado production and asset monetization.
Agribusiness remains exposed to crop quality, harvest timing, weather, drought, pests, labor availability, and commodity price and volume swings. Real-estate value depends on partner capital, financing, land-use approvals, water availability, and California development conditions.
