Florida's Natural Vice President of Sales and Marketing Walt Lincer, right, is saluted by members of the firm's leadership during its annual stockholder's meeting Monday at Lake Wales Country Club. Lincer is retiring after growing Florida's Natural market share to just under 21 percent last year. Two years ago, it was 18.1 percent.
The smiles Monday at Lake Wales Country Club were as big and the applause as expansive as the orange groves that fill southern Polk County.
That’s because several hundred stockholders and citrus producers for Florida’s Natural Growers learned that the company’s previous fiscal year was a record breaker.
