Protected growing environments are an increasingly common strategy across agriculture. In the Netherlands, that looks like tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers grown in glasshouses. Protected tunnels are now standard for raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries in Mexico and Morocco. In Japan and the United Arab Emirates, indoor hydroponics and climate-controlled facilities are now the norm. Reasons vary from water-use efficiency to protection from rain/sun damage to extending seasons.

Here in Florida, CUPS (Citrus Under Protective Screen) represents our citrus industry’s response to this same global shift of using technology to create healthier, more resilient production systems. Take a look inside our newest CUPS structure, planted in April 2025. The trees are thriving in this growing environment!

Our citrus trees are thriving in part thanks to our fall and winter serradella–radish cover crop. By fixing nitrogen, breaking up compacted soil with deep taproots, recycling nutrients, and returning organic matter as it decomposes, this cover crop naturally builds healthier, more resilient soil.

This fall, we completed the planting of a new pollinator garden at our Sweet Sixty facility.

Designed by our sister company Cherrylake, Inc. and installed by their construction team, the garden brings together native Florida plants such as Bee Balm, Sage Salvia and Manyflower Beardtongue. This planting repurposed what used to be a drainfield with weeds into a beautiful place that both team members and pollinators can enjoy.

Since the garden is planted in a drain field, we couldn't plant anything heavy or with deep roots. Citrus trees were planted above ground in recycled citrus crates, arranged in a layout mimicking a grove, to tie in with the citrus theme. We received limes in these crates from our partner growers in Colombia. Rather than throw them out, we sealed them and had liners installed to host the citrus trees.

We’ve supported pollinator health in our groves for years through cover cropping and responsible pest management. Now, with native pollinator gardens at our headquarters, CUPS site, and packinghouse, we're continuing to create spaces that reflect the same values we bring to our groves. We’re excited to share in the spring once it grows in! 🦋

Load ‘em up and move ‘em out! We don’t mess around when it comes to the Florida citrus season. These fresh Tango Mandarin Oranges are harvested and headed out at peak quality.

These busy bees are putting in the work to keep up with our CUPS (Citrus Under Protective Screen), which is absolutely bursting with grapefruit. Our first planting went in the ground in May 2022, making this yield especially exciting to witness!

2025 was a landmark year of growth and innovation. We welcomed new partner growers into our network, expanded our lime programs, and grew the capacity of our Sweet Sixty packinghouse. For the first time, all of our Florida season equipment came together under one roof, streamlining operations and strengthening our ability to deliver. We also expanded our Citrus Under Protective Screen (CUPS) program, pushing the boundaries of sustainable citrus growing, and planted a native pollinator garden outside the packinghouse. Between each of these milestones were countless other moments worth celebrating. 2025 was a year of stretching, solving, and stepping forward.
Through both progress and challenges, we remain grateful for the opportunity to do this work: to invest in Florida citrus, to grow with our IMG Citrus family, and to keep moving forward in our commitment to the Southeast.

What most people never see is the team behind the fruit. This year, our packinghouse team navigated a major transition as operations came together under one roof. This morning we celebrated our team, recognizing the experience and dedication that made a big year possible!

Farming citrus and farming the sun. Rack piling posts are now fully installed, and solar module installation begins this week. We’re excited to bring more sustainable energy to our Sweet Sixty packinghouse and proud to keep pushing innovation forward!

For our fall and winter cover crop, we’ve planted a mix of Serradella and Daikon Radish to help nourish the soil and support the long-term health of our groves.

Serradella is a legume that naturally fixes nitrogen, adding 50–90 lbs. back into the soil depending on moisture conditions. By building this natural supply, we can reduce the amount of spring nitrogen needed to support our citrus trees.

Daikon Radish complements this by penetrating compacted soil through “bio-tillage,” improving aeration while helping to build organic matter over time.

Both crops were seeded using a no-till drill behind the tractor, a method that minimizes soil disturbance and supports soil structure for healthier citrus production.

During our visits with our partner grower Celifrut, we’ve seen how intention guides every part of their work. Established in 2000 and family-owned, Celifrut cares for more than 300 hectares of lime orchards through a mix of owned land, long-term leases, and partnerships with growers who share their values. From the orchards to the packinghouse, their approach is thoughtful and consistent; rooted in care for the land and the people behind each harvest.

This fall, we finalized the sale of Panther Grove, our 1,304-acre property in Hendry County, to the State of Florida for permanent conservation.

Once an active grove, Panther Grove was our most southern and remote property. Located on the edge of the Everglades, it is a sanctuary for native wildlife, including deer, turkeys, black bears, and the endangered Florida panther - a true haven for Florida's natural beauty. As agricultural challenges emerged, we recognized the land’s greater purpose.

Today, Panther Grove joins the Florida Wildlife Corridor, an 18-million-acre ecological network that protects essential habitat and ensures wildlife can move freely and thrive. This is not only a win for conservation but for the future of Florida's natural heritage.
