Leroy Smith Inc

Riverfront Groves is among Florida s pioneers in providing Indian River citrus products. The tree-ripened fruit is hand picked and placed into field boxes transported to the packinghouse. Computer controlled optic/weight sizing equipment is onsite where the fruit is hand packed. The fruit is then loaded into refrigerated tractor-trailers for transportation to customers. John Knight founded Riverfront Groves in the early 1900s. In the early 1950s, Victor Knight, John Knight s son, realized that the key to maintaining the quality of the family-owned operation required its own packing plant. Riverfront Groves Gift Fruit Shippers is a subsidiary of Riverfront Groves. The company was created to serve the fund raising needs of many groups throughout the nation.
