A Conversation About California Citrus
California citrus is more than a crop. It is part of the history, economy, landscape, and identity of Southern California.
In the Talk Ag To Me episode, JP discusses the history and current state of California citrus, including the legacy of the Citrus Belt, the importance of family farms, and the continued role of growers, brokers, and specialty producers in keeping California citrus relevant for a new generation.
For Old California Botanicals, this history is personal. The company is rooted in Redlands, California, a community shaped by orange groves, packing houses, irrigation, railroads, horticulture, and the rise of the Southern California citrus industry.
From Citrus Heritage to Marmalade
Old California Botanicals translates that citrus heritage into small-batch marmalades and botanical goods.
Our marmalades are made to showcase the vivid aroma, brightness, bitterness, sweetness, and complexity of real California citrus. Varieties such as navel orange, Valencia orange, Eureka lemon, and Minneola tangelo allow us to tell a story of place through flavor.
Marmalade is one of the clearest expressions of what Old California Botanicals stands for: California-grown fruit, historic agriculture, careful craftsmanship, and products that carry the memory of old California into the present.
Why Podcasts Matter
Long-form conversations like Talk Ag To Me allow us to go deeper than a product description or label can. They give us the chance to talk about growers, history, citrus varieties, agricultural communities, and the challenges and opportunities facing California agriculture today.
They also help customers understand why Old California Botanicals is not simply a marmalade company. It is a California citrus brand built around heritage, agriculture, flavor, and place.
