At the tip of Texas, the lush, subtropical Rio Grande Valley produces the world’s finest grapefruit and oranges, helped by abundant sunshine, warm Gulf breezes and rich delta soils. The Crockett family has been in the citrus business since the 1930s when Stanley B. Crockett, Sr. planted his first groves. Those orchards thrived, nurtured by his love for growing citrus and his years in horticulture. In the 1960s, his son Brad Crockett, blessed with the same passion for citrus, decided the family should share their sweet, tree-ripened citrus and began shipping gift fruit nationwide. Today Brad’s son Allan and his family continue the Crockett tradition, sending fragrant, delicious grapefruit and oranges.
