Founded by two native Floridians from citrus growing families, Cliff Burg- owner -CEO and 6th generation Floridian and Pat Schirard-President and 4th generation Floridian, keep Florida’s citrus industry close to their hearts. In a time when the giant national juice companies have turned to blending off-shore juices into their products, Indian River Select™ remains one of the few premium juice companies that can proudly say that we are still 100% FLORIDA. As Cliff likes to say, “Grown, Picked and Squeezed in Florida.” As consumers become more concerned about the origins of their food, Cliff assures our customers that as long as he owns Indian River Select™ it will always be 100% Florida juice. Indian River Select™ was founded in 1996. Cliff knew that he could produce a juice that was of a higher quality and better taste than the brands he was buying in the local grocery stores. He signed on Pat, with his vast knowledge of the Florida citrus industry and Indian River Select™ was born in the heart of the Indian River Citrus District at the Ft Pierce Farmer’s Market. After many expansions and renovations our plant and headquarters still reside in the Farmer’s Market. What makes Indian River Select™ so special and why are our customers so loyal? We take the center cut of the Florida citrus harvest, using only mid to late season oranges and grapefruit, picked at their peak. This fruit is then gently squeezed and processed in small runs, to a higher standard (brix), thus giving our juice a richer, sweeter, fresher taste. Our loyal customers consider Indian River Select™ to be the best juice they have ever tasted.

At The Western Sugar Cooperative, company primary product is refined sugar. Sugar is nature’s sweetener – pure and simple, with nothing artificial added. Also known as sucrose, sugar is an important source of carbohydrates for humans and is the main carbohydrate stored by the sugar beet.The sugar beet crop is planted in the early spring and reaches its peak sugar content in the fall. The Western Sugar Cooperative growing areas provide a high quality raw material due to the long summer days, cool nights and excellent agronomic conditions. In early fall the beets are harvested over a six-week period and stored in large field piles for processing. During the four-to-five month processing period, the plants operate 24 hours per day, seven days per week, producing pure granulated sugar from the sugar beet. The refined sugar and beet by-products are stored for year-round shipment.

Eden began in Ann Arbor in the late 1960s with friends sourcing natural food. Young folks motivated by their study of a worldwide phenomenon centered upon macrobiotics; whole grains, plant based nourishment, and local food grown and made without toxic chemicals, and not nutrient depleted. Natural foods were simply not available at the time, so they started the Eden food co-op to source and bring them in. Their initial $200 orders to Erewhon in Boston and Chico-san in California were well received and caused a local stir. Co-op members traveled rural roads knocking on doors, looking for farms to grow food using organic methods. The Eden Co-op grew into a natural food store offering whole grains, beans, soyfoods, sea vegetables, miso, cereals, vegetable oils, seed and nut butters, and the like. It expanded adding a cafeteria, bakery, and books. Known at the time as the Eden Deli, it was one of very few places in the USA where one could get natural, organic, and macrobiotic food.
