But while theyâre riding another roller coaster this year, they say things are setting up for a banner year in 2022. Through several hurricanes and the devastation brought on by citrus greening, the conveyor belts continue to roll at Riverfront Packing Company in Gifford. âWeâve had good weather all winter which has helped us. We didnât have any freeze threats, we didnât have hurricanes,â said Dan Richey, President of Riverfront Packing.
