We planted our roots in Southern California nearly 100 years ago and have been growing our business ever since. We started in citrus, lemons and oranges to be exact, and were among the first grower-owned distributors in Orange County.
By 1950, we acquired our sister cooperative, the United Growers Association, and decided to branch out and try our hand at avocado distribution. Avocados quickly replaced our production of lemons and oranges.
Throughout the early ‘90's, the popularity of avocados increased and consumers demanded them year-round. We expanded our product line to include Chilean avocados and changed our name to Fresh of California. In 1999, we decided it was high time to return to our roots. We converted our business from a cooperative, back to a grower-owned distributor, and decided to simply call ourselves Index Fresh, Inc.
