24 Feb PRODUCER SPOTLIGHT: UNCLE MATT’S ORGANIC
PRODUCER SPOTLIGHT: Uncle Matt’s Organic! One of the oldest organic citrus growers in Florida and a family-owned business, Uncle Matt’s produces the highest quality juice, using only premium 100% organically-grown fruit that is free from synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, including blueberries, avocados, blackberries and citrus for an organic juice line! Matt McLean, a real-life uncle to 10 nieces & nephews, ventured into the organic juice business in 1999 with a passion for healthy living as well as a long family history of growing citrus in Florida.
Matt’s family expertise dates back four generations to his great-grandfather, Angus Benjamin McLean, who learned firsthand how to grow quality citrus without the help of today’s synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. His son, William Benjamin McLean (“Pappy”), carried on his father’s tradition, honing his growing philosophy, which advocates stewardship of the soil as the means to producing the healthiest, most nutritious crops possible.
Today, Matt –– as CEO of Uncle Matt’s Organic –– carries on his family’s traditions of growing quality citrus. Uncle Matt’s Organic has acquired several citrus groves, which are already yielding some of the fresh fruit squeezed into the company’s delicious orange juices. Resource Group and our partners at FreshPoint are proud to source Uncle’s Matt’s out of this world citrus and produce.
