to place your orders or with any questions you may have.  You may also fax orders to 800-360-7247 or 352-821-5000.

We will not be shipping citrus packs to AZ, CA, HI, LA, TX, Puerto Rico, Guam, US Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and Northern Mariana Islands.  Although the ban to ship to these locations has been lifted, we are unable to comply with the fumigation regulations since we are shipping through Federal Express. 

We want to wish you a safe and happy summer!!!!
