Al's Family Farms Citrus Packinghouse and Wet-Line Tour
by Pauline
One of the things I kept hearing from out of state folks, is that they'd like to tour a real Florida citrus wet-line and packinghouse (where we wash & pack fruit!) I asked the owner if we could start giving tours & so, last December we began! People taking the tour, told me that it was a highlight of their vacation - so I thought maybe some of you would like to know about it. You walk along the wet-line outside where we wash fruit & go into the 1930's era packinghouse & watch Indian River Citrus get packed for shipment. We answer questions about the Florida citrus industry & give you lots of citrus trivia & samples! It's a fun tour if you have always wondered what happened to Florida fruit after it's picked!!
