Showcasing 120 years of farming heritage
Sunkist launches Family Stories Campaign
“As a cooperative of thousands of grower members, many of whom have proudly passed the tradition of citrus growing through the generations, we believe the Sunkist story is best told by those in the orchards,” said Sunkist Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Kevin Fiori. “We’re proud to share the values and legacy of Sunkist’s 120-year history through the Sunkist Family Stories project.”
With a dedicated consumer microsite, social media campaign and retail marketing materials, the Sunkist Family Stories campaign is designed to transport customers and their consumers to the sunny groves of California and Arizona to learn more about the traditional growing practices, stewardship of natural resources and dedication to innovation that is proudly passed through generations of Sunkist member family-owned farms – year after year, crop after crop.
From the rolling hills of California’s San Joaquin Valley and the beautiful coasts of Ventura County, to the dramatic landscapes of the Coachella Valley and Arizona’s scenic Yuma desert, Sunkist growers are dedicated to innovation, embracing fresh approaches and pioneering products for citrus lovers today – and tomorrow. Sunkist Family Stories speak to growers’ sustainable farming practices including solar, water-saving irrigation systems and low-emission vehicles as well as investments in unique, speciality citrus varieties that chefs and cooking enthusiasts crave.
“Consumers today are keenly interested in the stories behind their food,” added Fiori. “We’re looking forward to sharing the decades of first-hand knowledge and tried-and-true expertise passed down from generation to generation that is behind every piece of Sunkist fruit.”
