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.
