At Noble Citrus, owned by the fourth-generation Roe family, we seek partner growers who share our deep-rooted values of care for the people, the land and the fruit. Our partner-growers work in the heart of tangerine country, where nutrient-rich soils and crisp fall nights naturally sweeten the fruit.
Among our trusted partners are Cruce Family Farms, where Matt Cruce takes pride in a simple promise — “We pick, pack, and ship on the same day.” We’re equally proud to work with Logan Gillis of Gillis Groves, whose commitment to quality and consistency reflects the same family tradition that’s guided Noble Citrus for generations.
