For over 50 years, Kosta Hronis has worked for family-owned Hronis, Inc., and currently serves as its Chief Executive Officer and President. At the Delano, California, facility, Kosta Hronis continues the firm's tradition of providing customers with excellent table grapes and citrus fruits. Started by his father in 1945, Hronis, Inc., involves a family member in all aspects of production and does not employ third-party growers. After the fruit ripens in the company's California vineyards and orchards, Kosta Hronis oversees the harvesting process. Trucks transport the freshly picked fruit to a Hronis, Inc., facility, which brings the items to the optimum temperature, using a state-of-the-art pre-cooling system, and packs them in-house to ensure quality control. The fruit immediately gets sent to customers following the company's four-hour order-to-shipping policy. Additionally, Kosta Hronis prides his firm on its commitment to sustainability through environmentally friendly practices such as integrated pest management, low-volume irrigation, and soil-nurturing techniques. The produce from Kosta Hronis' farms is especially well-suited to the weather and seasonal fluctuations of the San Joaquin Valley environment. Table grapes, which come in green, red, and black seedless as well as red seeded varieties, are available from July until December. Depending on the customer's preference, Hronis, Inc., will ship it in Euro cartons, clamshells, slider bags, or returnable product containers. The company's citrus fruit grows from November to May and includes Washington, Barnfield, Late Lane, and Fisher varieties of navel oranges.
