ABOUT US PRODUCTS RECIPES TRADE BLOG CONTACT US About Us History Born out of love for fresh produce and a desire to bring the world’s best tasting citrus to U.S. shoppers, LGS Specialty Sales, Ltd. started as a one man operation that would soon shape the future of fresh produce. The first imported clementines from Spain arrived in the U.S. market nearly 30 years ago. Our founder and owner, Luke Sears, was heavily involved in this milestone. As clementine demand and popularity increased over time, we adapted our sourcing to better suit our consumers all year round. Over time, avocados were added to our product line along with grapes and oranges. Today, we are a leading importer with an industry-wide reputation for innovation and excellence in produce, quality packaging, service and food safety. Our goal is to share life’s sweetest moments with you by bringing you your favorite fruits from all around the world. 1990 1991 2003 2006 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2020 Our Growers LGS partners with select growers around the world to bring our customers the best quality and year-round supply of clementines and avocados, as well as seasonal navels and grapes. Each of our commodities are sourced from the world’s finest growing regions, known for having optimal climate and soil conditions. We work very closely with each partner, visiting their fields regularly throughout a season to monitor crop condition and fruit quality, as well as ensuring our growing and safety standards are never compromised.
