Harvey's Groves was opened back in 1926 with a few oranges, some grapefruit and an old hand squeezer. That was all Roy and Blanche Harvey had when they opened their first roadside fruit stand in Rockledge, Florida. Fresh orange juice, hand-squeezed by Blanche, sold for 5 cents a glass at the original fruit stand on old U.S. 1.
Today, Larry Harvey manages 350 acres of prime citrus groves, making sure that irrigation, fertilization and harvesting meet his stringent requirements. Harvey's Groves is one of the few remaining family-owned groves in Florida. But the family's commitment to providing premium products and excellent service is stronger than ever.
To this day, it's a point of pride that a member of the Harvey family checks and re-checks fruit as its grown, picked, packed and shipped. The Harvey's wouldn't have it any other way; their customers deserve the best.
