Over the past two decades, Kings-burg Orchards has emerged as one of the premier shippers and packers of fresh fruit in California's fertile Central Valley. In fact, the five-generation, family-owned company recently changed its name to reflect a significant shift in the product mix now offered to buyers. Formerly Kingsburg Apple Sales, Kings-burg Orchards' annual fruit production tops 6 million boxes of fruit. Apples represent only about 100,000 cartons of that total, notes John Hein, director of marketing.
