JOSHUA CITRUS, INC.
ARCADIA, FLORIDA

Joshua Citrus, Inc. has a storied history that began in 1880 when James Shelfer planted family roots along Joshua Creek near Arcadia, Florida. Fast forward over 140 years, Kevin and Lynn Shelfer, the great-great-grandchildren of James, breathed new life into what we now know as Joshua Citrus in 1989 by establishing a retail store within their historic grove. Nestled in the thriving Peace River Valley, the company takes full advantage of Florida's perfect tropical climate to grow some of the best-tasting oranges and grapefruits worldwide. Today, under the careful stewardship of Olivia and Caleb Shelfer, third-generation owners who are dedicated to preserving their family legacy, Joshua Citrus remains committed to delivering top-notch quality and unmatched freshness in citrus fruits. Their mission is simple but profound: give consumers nothing less than the finest tasting Florida citrus available. This dedication traces directly back to James Shelfer's original ambition when he began farming nearly a century and a half ago. Officially incorporated on March 14, 1989, under company number K73015, Joshua Citrus has consistently operated as a fixture in Florida’s business landscape. The family-run enterprise is proudly located at 4135 SE County Rd 760 in Arcadia, FL. Reach out via phone at (800) 749-8219 or (863) 494-6142 for any inquiries or to learn more.
