PEMBROOKE PACKING INC
T & E Farms Inc. is a family-owned and operated farm,
made up of many groves through out Central Florida totaling
about three hundred acres. In addition to their own land
they also contract about another 1000 acres. These groves
supply a large array of specialty citrus fruits (see below).
Currently one of the largest organic citrus marketers in the
state of Florida, the company both grows and markets organic
citrus and juices. Tim Ford, the owner of T and E Farms
Inc. says:
"We have a strong belief in Organic farming.
Our family has worked in agriculture for many generations
and we have now been handling organic citrus for over a decade.
We believe we have found our niche in the agriculture industry."
Tim Ford groves utilize the Ford's unique 'Farm Plan' in order
to maintain the required high standards, creating the best quality
fruit available. So often the Organic Orange Groves in
Florida are just fruit from abandoned groves and are Organic
by neglect. Tim has worked his groves to a strict Organic
program.
Tim Ford owns Pembroke Packing Inc which is the packing shed
that packs and provides the name for the marketed fruit. With
this newly improved packing shed, Tim Ford has created an efficient
and effective organic packing shed, essential for the huge diversity
of citrus types that are packed at this facility. Pembroke
packing packs all its bagged Citrus under the “Tim’s
Best” label. |
