From legacy to innovation: The McKenna family's fight for Florida citrus
['Mike Hughes']
Latest News | FOX 13
The McKenna family's deep roots in Florida citrus trace back to their great-great-grandfather, a member of the Yeager family who came south for the "American dream."
Morgan McKenna Porter and her cousin Riley McKenna are now continuing this legacy.
At its peak, the family business, McKenna Brothers, harvested and marketed over a million boxes of fruit.
As Morgan McKenna Porter points out, the citrus industry was once considered the "white picket fence of Florida," a symbol of the Florida dream.
They understand that the future may not be about volume but about quality, positioning Florida citrus as a niche, boutique product for specialty markets.
