Life in the Groves: Dan Richey

Dan Richey, the President of Riverfront Packing, starts his day early to stay connected with the groves and the world of agriculture. He understands the importance of being present in the field to ensure success. A fateful meeting with his wife, whose family boasts a three-generation legacy in the same business, occurred during his time on a baseball scholarship at Florida Southern College. A twist of destiny led him away from a baseball career and to embrace the family’s legacy. He believes that being positioned in a prime location in the Indian River district, the grapefruit harvested is far superior to any other in the world.
