(l-r) Ari Larson Vice President of Fillmore Chamber, Francisco and Francisca Cardenas, Theresa Robledo Board Director and President Cindy Jackson presenting their Business of the Month certificate. Francisco and Francisca, husband and wife, opened up their fruit stand in 1984 by selling their citrus from the family farm. They grew selling local farmers produce, citrus, honey, jerky and olives. They have supported the Fillmore Chamber of Commerce for many years as well as the community. During the May Festival they donate their building for use as a command post. Since 1984 Francisco’s Fruit, has been located at 1782 E. Telegraph Rd, just 3 miles east of Fillmore on Highway 126. They grow their own oranges, grapefruit, lemons, and avocados as well as other fruit. 80-90% of the produce they sell comes from local farms. They also sell premium beef jerky, raw honey olives, nuts and candies. Seasonal items are available throughout the year such as: pumpkins, blueberries, pomegranates, blood oranges, cherimoya, persimmons, dragon fruit and much more. They are open seven days a week including holidays. As an added treat, on Sundays, Francisco plays Latin music from 3-7pm, for anyone that wants to join the fun. |
