The Clear Springs Distribution Center is a completely refurbished orange concentrate plant outfitted with state-of-the-art packing equipment. Coming online early in 2007, the facility is strategically located on Spirit Lake Road, Bartow, directly adjacent to Bartow’s Municipal Airport. It is easily accessible via major highway routes from all locations in Central Florida. Focusing on multiple crops, the Center will operate 24/7 year round as a valuable new resource for growers in the region.

The Clear Springs Distribution Center takes a new approach to the business of agriculture by offering value-added marketing and distribution services to all growers—treating affiliated and independent producers as equal to owned production. The facility is geared to handle servicing for a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables no matter the time of year when harvested. In all cases, the end objective calls for Clear Springs to consistently deliver the full value of all represented crops—whether sourced from owned or affiliated production areas or from one of the many independently operated operations in Central Florida.

The facility’s 100,000 square foot operation will provide a full range of services—available as an entire package or by a selection of as-needed services—including: RECEIVING, GRADING, PACKING, PRE-COOLING, COLD STORAGE, PALLETIZATION, SALES and MARKETING SERVICE, and SHIPPING.
