U-Pick Grapefruit Under CUPS
Golden Ridge Groves is proud to offer a citrus-picking experience like no other—U-Pick Ray Ruby grapefruit grown under CUPS (Citrus Under Protective Screen).
What is CUPS?
CUPS (Citrus Under Protective Screen) is a cutting-edge farming method designed to protect citrus trees from pests and disease—most notably citrus greening. The trees are grown inside large, screened-in structures that create an ideal environment for healthy, flavorful fruit.
For you, that means:
- Cleaner, Easier Picking
- Healthier Trees and Better-Tasting Fruit
- Stronger Consistency in Color and Taste
- Barrier Between the Trees and Damaging Bugs, Pests, and Weather
