Found in Florida (Miia Ollesh)
The Packing District of Orlando is rooted in Central Florida’s citrus industry history. It is believed that half of the state’s annual citrus crop passed through this area in the 1920s.

Its nod to its citrus past is evident from wall murals, like this one on the Publix grocery store wall, to the iconic juice stand.
Stay up to date on the latest news developing in the Packing District.
