Building began in 1927 and was completed and dedicated February 1, 1929.  Bok Tower and Gardens is located between Tampa and Orlando in Lake wales, FL.  Built by Edward Bok, the singing tower was the missing piece of glorious sounds remembered by Bok from his native Netherlands.  The Architect he hired was inspired by the Gothic towers and churches in Europe and the characteristics of the Florida Landscape.  Elaborate marble sculpture also adorns the Singing Tower.

Florida's Natural, Lake Wales

Grown not only in the US but right here in Florida.....Florida's Natural, Simply Orange and Minute Maid OJ.

In 1933 this co-op was organized by growers who had a personal interest in the best possible product to market.  Today they are the largest FL citrus co-ops with a base of 13 grower associations made up of more than 1,000 grower members who run more than 50,000 acres of fine citrus groves here in Florida.

Florida's Natural is made and packaged right here in the US/FL, making it always fresh and never imported.  At the Grove House, located across from the Florida Natural World Headquarters, Rt 27 Lake Wales, FL you can learn more about their history and process, plus sample all their varieties on their juice bar

Celebrating 79 years and counting, Florida's Natural always has a "Use by date", contains 350 milligrams of calcium per 8 oz glass and 100% pure...no sugars or preservatives added.  As Floridians, we can really say "homegrown".

Florida's Natural has been the recipient of Polk Works 2009/2010 Best Places to Work Award. Their job line is 1-877-842-9891
