The Limoneira Company has been a fixture in Santa Paula for over 100 years. Co-founders Nathan Blanchard
and Wallace Hardison signed the incorporation papers officially creating the Limoneira Company on March 4,
1893 bringing into existence an endeavor born of their imaginations. On this day over a century ago, these two
men set in motion an agricultural experiment on a scale previously unknown in Ventura County, and in the classic
nineteenth century entrepreneurial spirit, directed the full weight of their determination to its realization.

The City of Santa Paula was incorporated in 1902 and from that time forward, The Limoneira Company has worked diligently to support the city and the community of Santa Paula.

The company has over 7,000 acres of land in agricultural
production of lemons, oranges, avocados, specialty citrus (Satsuma mandarins, Cara Cara navels, Moro Blood Oranges, pummelos, etc.) as well as our specialty crops of pistachios, pluots and cherries.
