It started back in October 1925 when a small group of like-minded California citrus growers came together to form Exeter Citrus Association. They joined together to produce a cooperative for the purpose of picking, packing, and selling their citrus. The Association was fortunate to have started with some of the highest quality growers and some of the best citrus farming grounds in the world. Over the years, membership has grown as well as the different citrus varieties.  We currently pack Navels, Late Navels, Valencias, Cara Caras, Minneolas, Pummelos, Bloods, and now Lemons. Exeter Citrus Association has always been recognized as an industry leader in effecting advancements in technology and automation.
