Kings River Packing, LP
On the fertile banks of the Kings River, where the cool, clean water from the Sierra Nevada and California’s Central Valley meet, you’ll find Kings River Packing, LP. Legacy growers, packers and shippers of the highest quality citrus from an eighth-generation family farm.
Starting in 1866 with the Hazelton family planting the first orange trees in Fresno County, the roots of Kings River Packing run deep in the Central Valley citrus industry. Beginning with a few small ranches, their citrus growing operations grew until 1977 when Douglas Hazelton identified the need for a quality independent shipper and packer in the Sanger area. With the help of his daughters and sons-in-law, Doug began packing his own fruit, and Kings River Packing, LP, was founded.
Since then, the founding family has worked hard to build a reputation for superior quality and customer service based on their family values. These values are the core of what makes Kings River Packing special. Genuine care from the family in all areas of the business to ensure they have a positive impact on their employees, customers, and community. Whether it is employee development or deciding what varieties to plant next, the family strives to ensure they are prepared to meet the needs of those around them.
