About Us

Save the Citrus began at the beginning of 2021 during a global pandemic.

As a community, we couldn't bare to see thousands of oranges and lemons going to waste knowing over 10,000 people in Ibiza were relying on Ibiza food Banks and weekly donations.

 We pulled together to create the Citrus Crew, began scooping up the fruits and delivering them to the local charities.

Our Mission

  • To put an end to local food waste.

  • To build relationships between the farms and the community.

  • To provide the local food banks with fresh produce

  • To provide people with fresh local fruit

  • To connect the community back to nature in turn improving mental and physical wellbeing

  • To create local products with local ingredients

Our Vision

We would love to see this initiative expand globally.

Through friends of Save the Citrus we have become aware of similar citrus waste issues in mainland Spain, Portugal, Morocco, and Vietnam.

We would love to see this beautiful enterprise expand from the island to overseas and to let the joy of this movement further help with the global food waste issue.

In a bid to help the farmers we want to create a consistent flow of supply and demand with the reordering of their produce. We will do this by creating local products including health drinks, citrus oil, condiments, and cleaning products.
