Indian River Exchange Packers
Indian River packages and distributes oranges, grapefruit, golden fruit, tangerines, tomatoes, pecans, flowers and corporate gifts to customers worldwide. The company offers gifts year round with citrus shipping ending in the summer months. Indian River also offers live Blue Crabs taken from the Mosquito Lagoon and its tributary, the Indian River. The company s history predates the American Civil War. After the South was defeated, the family-owned operation migrated to Florida along the banks of the Indian River. Noticing the growing conditions offered by the abundant rainfall and soil, the family began to cultivate oranges and grapefruit. As their crop size grew, the family began to ship fruit by steamboat, then train and finally by truck. Indian River is headquartered in Titusville, Fla.
