Our story begins way back in 1893. Sunland is a beautiful, sunny, fertile area in Crescenta Valley, California. In this lovely place, the Southern California Fruit Exchange started in. A cooperative of independent growers, which later becomes better known as the Sunkist Growers.
1905
By 1905, Southern California Fruit Exchange represented 45% of California citrus growers. It is high time to take a name that represents the entire state. The cooperative is renamed The California Fruit Growers Exchange.
1908
The Sunland Exchange's advertising agency, Lord & Thomas, creates an ad campaign suggesting that people “Drink an Orange.” It’s a novel idea and a huge hit! Suddenly everyone wants to drink orange juice.
1967
Sunland 100% Quality Juices are introduced. By the mid-1960s, the demand for orange juice is exploding and Brazilian growers follow the Californian lead with full-on commitment. The entire industry is moving towards juice.
