Old Grove Orange is a collaboration of 28 farmers in the Inland Empire. They grow a variety of fruits and vegetables, which they supply to local school districts and colleges.
By sharing resources — from picking teams to distribution — Old Grove Orange farmers work together to supply a variety of produce directly to farm to school programs. Old Grove Orange supplies local school districts and colleges with many kinds of fresh produce, including oranges, mandarins, strawberries, grapes, potatoes, and cucumbers, which the schools then feature in their Farm to School Programs. Collaborating helps the farmers in Old Grove Orange reduce costs and makes it easier for schools to connect with famers and serve a variety of fruits and vegetables in their cafeterias.
