About Us

Scott Family of Companies is a vertically integrated organization that grows, packs, and markets fresh grapefruit for the international and domestic markets. The companies that make up this organization include Scott Family Groves, Scott Citrus Management, Riverfront Packing Company, and Scott Marketing. The Scotts are 3rd generation citrus growers that have a long history of farming in the famous Indian River Growing District.

L.W. ScottL.W. Scott, the patriarch of the family, started farming vegetables and eventually became one of the largest tomato growers in the world, with farms in multiple countries. The vegetable farming background served him well when he decided to grow citrus, because his sense of urgency and attention to detail carried over well in growing high quality citrus. His love of farming and commitment to excellence is a legacy that continues to be carried on today.

“I grew up watching my father farm all over the world and his love and passion has continued to inspire younger generations of our family.”
