Our Story
Suntreat was originally formed 60 years ago when founding brothers Harry and John Griffith left Kansas looking for work following the Great Depression. In the years that followed, they acquired farms, and built a nursery and Suntreat. In 2015, Suntreat became part of the AC Foods Family where its well-known and highly regarded brand continues to flourish as part of a portfolio of consumer driven, appropriately scaled, and regenerative businesses that support the planet and communities in which they operate.
Over decades, we’ve developed a robust citrus operation with some of the most exciting consumer brands on the market. To guarantee the availability of top-quality produce throughout the year, we’ve cultivated deep relationships with California’s best citrus growers. We continue to make improvements in resource conservation, carbon sequestration, and improving biodiversity with our citrus crops.
