Lemon Twist is a retail produce, floral, and gift shop specializing in chocolate-dipped strawberries, local organic fruits & vegetables, citrus, fresh bouquets & floral arrangements, plants, pottery & more!
Located in Rancho Santa Fe, CA Lemon Twist began in 1980 as an idea of two newly graduated college best friends looking to start up a new business together. Katie Shull and Trudy Tunstall, began selling their farm fresh produce along the scenic and verdant Del Dio Highway, just outside Rancho Santa Fe.
A year later, they built their first shop at the current site of Lemon Twist, a charming, wooden fruit stand, full of all of the best local fruit, honey, vegetables and flowers they could find from the family ranch, and local farms. It continued to grow and have a loyal local following, as well as visits from tourists visiting sites such as the Wild Animal Park and the beautiful Lake Hodges area.
After a brief 3 year closure, due to the horrific wildfires of 2007, the new Lemon Twist is now just about complete, and the next generation of the Shull family has jumped on board to continue the family farming tradition.
In addition to operating the Lemon Twist, the Shull family has been in the organic citrus packing business since the early 1980′s, and continue their operation in Vista, California. They grow and pack all kinds of citrus, such as Eureka lemons, Ruby Grapefruit, tangelos, tangerines, Valencia and Navel organges and more. Sunrise Farms, Inc., the packing facility is proud to pack and sell many the fruit and citrus from many small groves in the surrounding regions of Rancho Santa Fe, Valley Center, Fallbrook, Pauma Valley and areas to the north such as Ventura. (www.sunrisefarmscitrus.com). The great excellent quality of their fruit pack finds it’s way into popular stores everywhere locally and across the nation.
The Lemon Twist has been a local landmark and plan to continue their family farming tradition.
