From the first celery crop planted in 1925, to the successful international company that it is today, A. Duda & Sons, Inc. has maintained family tradition as it built its legacy and served the community. We are proud to honor them at this years Evening in the Grove, says Andrea Bailey Cox, A&H Executive Director/CEO. Through a range of programs, A.

From donating Natures Deli salad bars to numerous Seminole County schools to incorporate healthy, fresh foods into students lunches, to donating 40,000 pounds of fresh produce to SCPS Families in Transition program just this past year, to being a long time leader in celery development, A. Duda & Sons, Inc. is a tremendous asset to Central Florida.
