Florida Orange Juice Industry

Ahh…the beautiful orange!    I can walk outside my door here in Florida and there they are…first a small white blossom that smells so heavenly.  The bees buzz everywhere.   The lovely white blossom turns to a small orange that continues to grow slowly…oh so slowly until they are ready to be picked and juiced.   I have to admit that my husband is better at juicing than I am.  We both love our orange juice for breakfast…or any time.

Not only is orange juice healthy and a great source of vitamin C, but so great in Florida’s warm weather.  While I am taking a look at our Florida history, let’s look at the orange juice industry and find out what it takes to get that orange juice to your table.   Have a glass of golden, delicious….oh so refreshing orange juice!
