In the heart of Indian River County, known as the home of the "World’s Finest Citrus", sits a piece of land that was owned and tended by the Peterson family since 1913! Purchased in 2013 by Eric and Tiffany Barkwell, another local citrus family, the tradition of the finest in citrus will continue for generations to come. This historic citrus packing house is one of the oldest in the county. Featuring a beautiful gift shop full of gourmet dressings, dips, sauces, local honey, farm fresh eggs and produce, souvenirs, sweet delicious Florida taffy, Alligator Jerky and so much more, it is a destination not to be missed!
A visit to Peterson Groves is a step back in time. The children will enjoy visiting our farm animals and participating in our "Squirrel Treasure Hunt" amongst the trees and animals to receive their prize at the end. Inside, everyone enjoys a sample of the seasonal fresh fruit and fresh squeezed orange juice.
We ship only the best, prize winning Indian River citrus grown right here in our own groves. All of our gifts are personally hand selected and packed by our family to create the perfect gift for yours and shipped directly to their door. We begin our gift fruit shipping season in November with our seedless Navel Oranges, seedless Ruby Red Grapefruit, Fall Glo Tangerines and Florida Tangelos just in time for Thanksgiving.
